COLAB is a digital empowerment agency whose mission is to create digital platforms and processes that empower marketing leaders. We are a team of strategists, designers, developers, software engineers, quality assurance analysts, and project managers who collaborate day in and day out to elevate how our clients use digital within their organizations.

We are looking for a Senior Web Developer to bring designs and wireframes to life through front end code and content management implementation. Front end development looks a little different at COLAB in that our web developers not only configure and build sites, but they also work on CMS development and building Javascript-based interfaces. Our Web Developers work on PHP-based CMS platforms with specialties in WordPress and Drupal. While experience in both is a bonus, this role is for an expert in WordPress. Thoughtful planning and working smartly is a large part of the Senior Web Developer role. That means creative solutioning within constraints, thinking through the impact of each stage of the project, and using what the client values as a guide for where to spend time and energy.

The Senior Web Developer will report to the Web Development Lead.

Requirements

< class="h3">Who You Are
  • You are an expert in WordPress with workable knowledge of Drupal
  • You have a deep understanding of front end development and content management
  • You have a balanced understanding of developing the best technology approach given project constraints and can advocate for decisions that balance priorities of COLAB, clients, and constraints - you can plan and work smartly

  • You have an understanding of UX and visual design concepts to provide perspective on web technology
  • You consistently build visually accurate websites from design mockups with strong attention to detail

  • You are comfortable with productive debate, listening to differing perspectives and offering up your own insights and ideas
  • You are innately curious, a forever learner, and enjoy learning about and applying new technologies
  • You have 8+ years of experience developing front end technologies for websites and web applications with expertise in HTML, CSS/SCSS, Javascript, React.js/Vue.js

  • Understand and implement component-based development using principles of atomic design
  • Solve technology problems during regular meetings with project and practice teams
  • Share your work during code reviews to receive feedback from other team members; provide thoughtful feedback to others regarding their code
  • Stay up to date with industry developments and trends; experiment and create proofs of concept when necessary
