Web Developer Wordpress & Shopify - Sage Marketing Group, Inc.

Job Overview Sage Marketing Group is a growing boutique agency. We’re seeking a Web Developer to help us build, launch and troubleshoot websites. Ideal candidates have fast-paced agency experience, deeply understanding how work moves from strategy to execution. You must have strong command of the technical chops required for coding sites (mainly Wordpress, Elementor, Shopify), have good agency instincts, clear communication and the ability to bring efficiency to a high-volume workflow. If you like working on one client or project, please don't apply, but if in the era of vibe-coding, you want to work somewhere that still believes in real people writing real code, keep reading!

Why this Position:

You are the technical backbone of our Production & Dev team. You take approved designs from our creative team and turn them into fast, clean, responsive websites, then keep those sites healthy long after launch. This role owns the technical side of the house: builds, hosting, DNS, integrations, launches, and the standards that keep client sites stable and secure. Design direction comes from our Art Director. Client communication runs through our account team. What's yours is the build, and when a site ships with your name on it, it works.

YOU’RE RIGHT FOR THE JOB IF YOU ARE/HAVE:

• A developer first. You'd rather write clean code from a solid design file than push pixels around a mockup.
• Proven experience in an agency or multi-client environment, comfortable jumping between projects and codebases daily.
• Deep fluency in WordPress (including Elementor) and Shopify, from custom themes and plugins to the quirks of each platform.
• Disciplined about documentation. Credentials, hosting notes, and build decisions get written down, not stored in your head.
• A straight shooter with non-developers. You can tell a PM what's realistic, what it'll take, and where the risk is.
• Someone who owns outcomes. When a launch is yours, it goes out on time and nothing breaks.
• Honest problem-solving instincts. You'd rather flag a bad approach on Tuesday than patch it on Friday.

DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Build : Lead end-to-end development of WordPress and Shopify sites, including custom themes, plugins, and advanced functionality. Write clean, efficient HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP.
• Translate : Partner with our Art Director and design team to turn approved mockups into responsive, pixel-accurate builds. Creative owns the direction; you own making it real.
• Own the Stack : Manage hosting environments (SiteGround, WPEngine, Flywheel), DNS, server settings, backups, and security. You are the agency's technical authority and you keep the infrastructure documented and accessible.
