ABOUT THE ROLE
We're a web agency looking for a reliable Jr. WordPress Developer to join our small, remote team. You'll handle live client websites daily — from routine maintenance to building new sites and fixing technical issues. This is a hands-on role where reliability and resourcefulness matter more than years of experience.
This is a part time role with the possibility to become a full time role with the right candidate. We are looking for dedicated tea
AVAILABILITY REQUIREMENT
You must be available and responsive between 9am–1pm EST on weekdays for collaboration, task handoffs, and time-sensitive updates.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
1. Weekly Website Maintenance
- Run plugin and theme updates using WP Umbrella
- Check site functionality after updates
- Fix broken features or roll back plugin versions when needed
- Know your way around plugin settings and be eager to learn new tools
2. New Website Development
- Build sites using Kadence Blocks, with full understanding of global settings, header/footer, element templates, and patterns
- Apply a good eye for design — balance, spacing, typography
- Deliver clean, on-brief results with minimal revisions
3. WooCommerce Management
- Configure variable products, bundles, virtual products, and subscriptions
- Set up and troubleshoot shipping rules
- Manage product feeds to Google Merchant Center (GMC)
- Handle time-sensitive updates: monthly banners, sale pricing dates
4. Customer Support Tickets
- Handle client requests for site edits, updates, and fixes
- Work from basic descriptions; find answers independently when needed
- Represent the agency professionally in every response
5. SEO Technical Fixes
- Resolve issues from Semrush audits: broken internal links, 4XX errors, broken JS/CSS, unminified assets, slow load times
- Submit pages to Google Search Console; add keyword tracking in Semrush
6. Content Publishing
- Publish content per brief and SEO guidelines
- Adapt quickly to process changes, especially with AI-assisted workflows
7. Security & Performance
- Maintain strict login security and protect client data
- Work confidently in Perfmatters — including identifying JS scripts to exclude from defer/delay when something breaks
