The Opportunity
We’re looking for a well-rounded developer with strong web fundamentals who is also excited about the evolving world of AI.

- Collaborate with designers, marketers, and project managers
AI & Automation (Growth Focus)
- Assist in building AI-powered features using OpenAI, Claude, and similar tools
- Develop and manage workflows using n8n or other automation platforms
- Prototype and test new ideas that improve internal efficiency or client solutions
- Stay current with AI trends and bring ideas to the table
Requirements
- Strong experience with WordPress development (custom builds, not just page builders)
- Solid skills in PHP, JavaScript, and API integrations
- Comfortable working across the stack and solving real-world problems
- Interest or experience in AI tools (OpenAI, Claude, etc.)
- Exposure to or curiosity about automation tools (n8n, Zapier, etc.)
