Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Anchour is a creative agency focused on building unforgettable brands and digital experiences. They are seeking a Front-End Developer to build and maintain websites for major brands, turning design into accessible code and ensuring high performance and security.
Responsibilities
- Build sites people run their business on. Take Figma designs and turn them into fast, accessible, mobile-first websites. Custom WordPress themes using ACF and Gutenberg, and custom Shopify storefronts, the kind national brands and financial institutions depend on
- Architect what's behind the pages. Centralized data layers, shortcode and component systems, custom post types, and metafield schemas so a client updates a rate or a product once, and it shows up everywhere. Build it once, deploy it across brands and sites
- Wire up integrations. Online banking handoffs, mortgage rate syncs, subscriptions through Recharge, CRM and marketing automation, Storefront API, checkout extensibility, and the full analytics and tag stack. The plumbing that turns a site into a working tool
- Hold the line on performance, accessibility, and security. Core Web Vitals, WCAG 2.2 AA, and the security posture a bank's IT team will sign off on. You build it in from the first line of code
- Own QA, staging, and launch. Cross-browser and cross-device QA, staging review on Pantheon Multidev, user acceptance testing, and a clean, coordinated go-live. Then watch it close in the days after
- Make our clients dangerous with their own site. Run the training sessions and write the documentation that turn a CMS into a tool their team uses without us. The build isn't done until they can drive it
- Build with AI. We've spent two years building our own AI tools, and we expect you to use them, alongside the best off-the-shelf ones, to move faster and ship sharper. Bring ideas for where AI makes the work better, and build a new solution if there’s a gap that needs to be filled
- Help our practice grow. We're scaling fast. Bring your take on how we build, what we standardize, and the tools and workflows that keep us quick as the team grows. Good ideas don't wait for permission here
Skills
- 3+ years building production websites, or a portfolio that makes the years beside the point
- Fluent in semantic and accessible HTML, CSS, and modern JavaScript (ES6+)
- You write clean code the next person can pick up and keep going
- Custom WordPress themes with Gutenberg and ACF
- Shopify theming and Liquid
- Comfort with the hard parts: Integrations, data architecture, and the compliance and accessibility (WCAG 2.2 AA) that come with financial and healthcare clients
- A modern workflow: At home in Git, the command line, component-based work, and Tailwind and React
- Curious about AI and already using it to build better
- Responsive, performant, and pixel-honest
- You sweat the UX details
- A builder's mindset: Curious, collaborative, low-ego, and driven to ship great work with a tight-knit team
- Strong fundamentals, and the itch to keep getting better
- Northeast-based, ideally. We're a Maine company and we love getting our people in the same room, so New England or the wider Northeast is a big plus
- Bonus for Shopify Plus (checkout extensibility, metafields and metaobjects, subscriptions), headless and the Storefront API
