WordPress Developer
1FEE is looking for a WordPress Developer to join its rapidly growing WordPress division! A funded startup since August 2015 and backed by an agency with 20 years of experience, 1FEE.com is bringing the high-end agency experience to small and medium-sized businesses, organizations, and anyone else wanting to make a bigger impact on the web while not breaking the bank.
WordPress Developers are responsible for ensuring each website is correctly built and delivered to the client. They are responsible for ensuring that all deliverables meet or exceed company baseline standards of performance and quality. WordPress Developers are expected to be problem solvers, with the ability to evaluate several options in order to pick the solution that provides a best fit between clients requirements and the project budget and timeline. WordPress Developers are able to debug and/or modify existing PHP and Javascript. They are highly consultative and help Project Managers and clients make sound decisions on the right path forward. Ultimately, they opt for configuration versus custom solutions, which allow the customer to get the largest ROI from open source software.
