  • Proven ability to build, launch, and maintain custom WordPress websites.
  • Strong background in PHP, WordPress theme development, and MySQL.

  • Familiarity with WordPress REST API and basic headless CMS concepts.
  • Working knowledge of Git/GitHub and deployment workflows.
  • Experience extracting assets from Figma, Photoshop, or Adobe XD.
  • Previous experience working in fast-paced agency settings is strongly preferred.

Skills

  • Strong front-end development abilities (HTML5, CSS3, SCSS, JavaScript/ES6+).
  • Ability to deliver clean, scalable, and maintainable code.
  • Comfortable managing multiple tasks and shifting priorities within agency workflows.
  • Strong English reading and writing comprehension for internal collaboration.
  • Ability to follow structured QA, documentation, and version control processes.
  • Bonus skills: experience coding marketing emails, familiarity with component-based systems or JS frameworks (e.g., Vue, Alpine.js), and experience with Pharma/Healthcare digital projects.
