Hiebing is looking for a curious and resourceful Web Developer who's excited to build smart digital experiences, solve unfamiliar problems and keep growing alongside a collaborative team. WordPress will be at the center of the role, but your work-and your opportunity to make an impact-will extend well beyond it. Hiebing is seeking a curious, motivated and innovative WordPress Developer who is eager to build intelligent solutions in a fast-paced, collaborative team environment. Our team values learning, support and innovation, creating a culture where developers can grow, contribute and have fun doing great work. WordPress development and maintenance will be at the center of this role, but we're looking for someone who is equally energized by troubleshooting an integration, helping implement tagging, debugging an email or figuring out something they haven't encountered before. The ideal candidate is a self-starter who is curious, resourceful and motivated to find answers independently. They see unfamiliar challenges as opportunities to learn rather than barriers and are comfortable moving between different types of digital work as client and team needs evolve. This role will initially be divided between new WordPress development and maintenance for existing clients, with the potential to create new capabilities and offerings for our clients and eventually lead the WordPress development practice at Hiebing. Responsibilities * Develop, enhance and maintain WordPress websites, including block editor/Gutenberg development, theme customization, plugin configuration and integrations. * Troubleshoot and resolve website issues, including plugin conflicts, third-party integrations, browser and device inconsistencies, and performance problems. * Support ongoing website maintenance, landing pages, forms, content migrations and other digital enhancements across multiple client properties. * Assist with analytics and tagging implementations using tools such as Google Tag Manager and GA4, including implementation, troubleshooting and QA. * Support email development and production needs, including building and modifying HTML emails, troubleshooting rendering or template issues, and conducting technical QA. * Implement and troubleshoot marketing technology integrations, including forms, analytics, consent management, email platforms and other third-party tools. * Work within Git-based development workflows and follow established practices for commits, branching, pull requests, releases and documentation. * Collaborate with developers, digital strategists, project managers, designers and other team members to solve problems and deliver high-quality work. * Maintain security, accessibility, performance and quality standards across development work.
