- Diagnose and fix frontend and backend issues across CMS platforms
- Collaborate with designers, consultants, and clients to solve problems
- Use AI tools like Claude Code to plan and execute large project aspects
✅ What You'll Need
- 5+ years of professional frontend development — strong HTML, CSS/SASS, and JavaScript fundamentals
- 3+ years building and customizing WordPress sites, including Gutenberg block development (ACF or React-based)
