Summary

We're looking for a mid-to-senior Web Developer (3–5+ years) to build, maintain, and continuously improve high-performing marketing sites for law firm clients. You'll work closely with our design, SEO, and strategy teams to ship work that looks great, loads fast, and converts. This role lives primarily in WordPress, paired with Tailwind for front-end styling and component work. You'll build custom themes, implement pixel-perfect responsive designs, and keep our sites fast and reliable. Experience with headless WordPress or modern front-end frameworks (Astro, Next.js, etc.) is a strong plus as we continue to explore that direction, but it's not required on day one.
