Job description

We’re looking for a mid-level WordPress Developer to join our projects-focused web team. You’ll take designs from Figma and build them out using our in-house block-based WordPress theme (Vite, Sass and ACF), working directly with clients throughout the process. This is a hands-on build role rather than a pure back-end or DevOps position. You’ll be trusted to own the front-end build of a project from design handoff through to launch, and to speak confidently with clients about progress, feedback and small scope questions along the way.

What you’ll be doing

Building WordPress websites using our in-house block-based theme (Vite + Sass + ACF)
Converting Figma designs into accurate, responsive builds
Developing custom Gutenberg blocks using ACF
Writing clean, maintainable Sass and JavaScript within our theme structure
Joining client calls and email threads to gather requirements, share progress and manage day-to-day queries
Testing builds across browsers and devices, and fixing bugs as they come up
Basic WooCommerce setup and troubleshooting on client sites
Working alongside designers and other developers as part of a small team

Requirements

Solid hands-on experience building WordPress themes (not just using page builders)
Strong HTML and Sass/CSS
Working knowledge of JavaScript
Experience with ACF (Advanced Custom Fields)
Comfortable turning a Figma file into a working, responsive build
Familiarity with Git for version control
Confidence communicating directly with clients, in writing and on calls

Nice to have (not essential)

Experience with a modern build tool such as Vite or Webpack
WooCommerce configuration beyond the basics
Exposure to PHP outside of WordPress templating
An interest in eventually working with Laravel or React, as some of our larger builds use this stack
Basic SEO awareness, * Do you have experience working within an Agency?
This is a fully in-house role based in Dedham. Are you located within a reasonable distance, and are able to reliably commute to the studio Monday to Friday?
