Ready to stop being "a dev" and start being "the dev"? You are

A WordPress pro. Someone who knows WordPress like the back of their hand and not afraid to dive
into legacy codebases when needed. You can write clean, custom PHP in your sleep and build sleek,
responsive sites that don't just look good, they work flawlessly.

You like variety. A few projects a day? Love it. You're not afraid to jump from fixing a bug to scoping out
a full build.

You're happy helping out with anything technical in the company, because whilst you're not an IT
manager, you know more about things that beep and buzz than anyone else in the office.

You're just as comfortable talking to a client as you are tinkering with backend functions. You take pride
in what you build. And you get a buzz when someone admires your work.

You like being trusted to do things your way, because you know the right way.

You will be doing

Owning our websites. Seriously, these will be your builds. From scoping to developing and refining,
you'll be crafting bespoke WordPress sites using our in-house theme, built around ACF. You'll work with
our in-house custom theme, extending it with reusable block components and scalable logic. Basically,
you'll be the architect of our WordPress universe.

You'll be making stuff better: performance, structure, SEO, accessibility, you'll always be improving
something.

You'll work closely with our designers, SEO folks and content team to create websites that are fast,
beautiful and easy to manage.

You're not afraid to gently tell the design team to calm down a little; yes, it needs to be beautiful, but
we can forget 27 nested accordions.

You'll also dip into hosting, migrations, plugin management and the odd client call to keep things
ticking. You'll also be the contact for our 3rd party IT company, so you'll be the go-to person for
everything techie. Insert the title "Technology Overlord" as an unofficial addition if you want a badge
made, we won't stop you .And yes, you'll be a part of something bigger, shaping how Ketchup does websites as we grow.

You'll get the chance to:

Work on multiple sites across sectors
Develop your own processes and push new ideas
Build future-proof solutions, not hacky workarounds
Be involved in projects from day one to go-live (and beyond)
Join a collaborative, friendly team who loves what they do
