Job Description

We are seeking an experienced Web Development Specialist to build, maintain, and optimize branded marketing and e-commerce websites, which are crucial to our clients' digital presence. As our agency expands, we need a developer proficient in diagnosing complex issues like a broken checkout flow on a Shopify store and scoping a complete WordPress build from a Figma file, transitioning between tasks efficiently.

The workload will be approximately split: half dedicated to maintaining existing sites to ensure they are fast, secure, accessible, and reliable, and half focused on developing new sites, features, and enhancements.

This is a multi-client agency environment, requiring the ability to manage several projects daily. Priorities can shift, and interruptions occur; therefore, the ideal candidate can quickly adapt without compromising quality. The Senior Web Specialist will demonstrate strong ownership, proactively managing tasks from the project queue, prioritizing effectively, and driving work to completion.

This role also serves as the primary technical authority, acting as the go-to resource for complex builds, establishing development standards and workflows, and mentoring other developers through code review and knowledge sharing. Crucially, you will translate technical tradeoffs into clear, understandable terms for non-technical teams, including design, copy, digital, account management, and leadership, facilitating informed collaborative decisions.

Key Responsibilities:

• Maintain, update, and troubleshoot existing WordPress and Shopify marketing and e-commerce sites, focusing on performance, security, accessibility, and SEO best practices.
• Develop and enhance websites across WordPress, WooCommerce, Shopify, and BigCommerce, utilizing existing themes and frameworks, with custom development as needed.
• Translate UX/UI recommendations from Figma into accurate, high-quality builds, collaborating closely with design and digital teams.
• Build, test, and deploy marketing and email integrations, including Klaviyo and Mailchimp.
• Scope projects with clients and account managers, assessing complexity, providing reliable time estimates, and identifying risks, dependencies, and scope creep.
• Track project progress and ensure consistent communication across teams for smooth handoffs and shared expectations.
• Establish, document, and uphold development standards and best practices for all web projects.
• Support other web developers through code review, technical guidance, and knowledge sharing.
• Maintain organized documentation, assets, and records for active and completed work.
• Stay current with web development trends and recommend improvements to strengthen The Digital Ring's web capabilities.
• Identify process improvements to enhance efficiency, profitability, and team capacity.

Qualifications

The ideal candidate will possess:

• At least 3 years of professional web development experience.
• At least 1 year of experience in a client-facing, multi-account agency role.
• A bachelor's degree in Web Development, Graphic Design, or a related field.
• Demonstrated professional experience with WordPress, WooCommerce, Shopify, Webflow, and comfort working from Figma files.
• Proficiency in HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript, and MySQL.
• Experience working within pre-built themes and corporate design systems.
• Familiarity with HubSpot, GTM, and Mailchimp integrations.
• SEO optimization and performance tuning experience.
• Proven ability to scope projects accurately, estimate timelines, and assess budget impact.
• Strong project management skills, including the ability to manage multiple priorities and adapt quickly.
• The ability to work effectively amidst frequent interruptions and shifting priorities.
• Strong organizational skills and meticulous attention to detail.
• Critical thinking and analytical problem-solving instincts.
• Prior experience mentoring or supporting other developers in an agency or team environment.
• A team-first mentality, with a willingness to mentor and support peers.
• Adaptability and openness to feedback.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences.
• A collaborative, solutions-oriented mindset with a strong sense of ownership and accountability.
