About this role

FSM is seeking a WordPress Developer to join our in-house web team. We utilize visual frameworks to empower our clients for future updates, but our internal development process is code-centric. This role develops, customizes, and maintains high-performance websites optimized for performance, accessibility, and user experience.

You translate high-fidelity Figma designs into responsive websites while adhering to modern front-end best practices and agency coding standards. Build and maintain sites using HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and the Divi framework as a structural starting point. Extend capabilities with custom PHP shortcodes and functions.

We are driven by honing a craft and delivering work worthy of the win, chasing the afterglow—that feeling of rest after a job well done. This becomes reality through discipline and attention to core values. Join our hybrid team in Downtown Akron, OH, within driving distance of the office.

Ensure websites meet WCAG accessibility standards and optimize for Core Web Vitals. Manage and troubleshoot in high-performance Nginx-based hosting using developer tools and server logs. Commit to clean, documented code and continuous learning in a fast-evolving field.

Requirements

Strong foundation in HTML5, CSS3 (Flexbox/Grid), JavaScript, and PHP
2–5+ years of experience in WordPress development, including child theme customization
Experience with visual builders helpful, but comfortable writing custom code to overcome builder limitations; custom theme development a plus
Proven ability to work from Figma or similar design tools to ensure high-fidelity design implementation
Commitment to writing clean, well-documented, and maintainable code following industry and agency-specific naming conventions
Commitment to continuous learning in a fast-evolving field

Responsibilities

Build and maintain WordPress websites using HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, using the Divi framework (or similar) as a structural starting point
Implement clean, semantic CSS through child theme stylesheets, avoiding fragile auto-generated builder classes in favor of descriptive, reusable naming conventions
Extend WordPress capabilities by developing custom PHP shortcodes and functions, ensuring all logic is properly documented and follows security best practices
Precisely translate Figma designs into functional websites, maintaining design integrity and responsiveness across all breakpoints
Maintain website health by optimizing for Core Web Vitals, code minification, and efficient asset loading
Ensure all web builds meet WCAG accessibility standards
Manage and troubleshoot websites within high-performance, Nginx-based WordPress hosting environments, utilizing browser developer tools and server logs for debugging
