At First Ascent, we provide full-service digital marketing. Our scopes include strategy, branding, content creation, and website design, development, and management for clients in a wide range of industries.
We’re looking for a Front-end Developer with skills in PHP & React to work on projects encompassing custom, from-scratch WordPress theming. We do NOT build with off-the-shelf themes or plugins. You must be excited by front-end development and the challenge of creating beautiful, precise, responsive web experiences for users.
You must be comfortable overlapping your working time with Eastern Standard Time (USA East Coast), at least 4 hours a day. You must be comfortable working in a team and with an established workflow. Must be comfortable with git, command line, and front-end development, not just entering content into existing WordPress themes. We custom build all themes from near-scratch.
Compensation is tied to experience and availability.
