WordPress / Elementor Developer — Diagnostic & Performance Focus (Long-Term Marketing Partner)

ABOUT US We're a B2B SaaS company building a small, reliable bench of web development partners to support our marketing team on an ongoing basis — troubleshooting, performance work, new page builds, and site maintenance. We're hiring with the goal of building a long-term working relationship, with the potential for consistent, recurring work over time. *Our site runs on WordPress with Elementor, so expert WordPress and Elementor experience is a must-have for this role. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR We prioritize technical troubleshooting and site health alongside strong implementation skills. We provide detailed Figma files for anything visual, so the design direction is already established — your focus would be on building it accurately and keeping the site fast, stable, and error-free. If a trade-off ever has to be made, we'd rather you spend extra time diagnosing and resolving an issue than fine-tuning a visual detail. Two things are must-haves for us: solid, hands-on WordPress/Elementor experience, and strong diagnostic ability. Concretely, that means we need someone who can: - Build and maintain pages in WordPress/Elementor fluently - Utilize Elementor + custom code (PHP/JS) beyond drag-and-drop - Independently investigate site issues and identify root causes - Read server logs, error reports, and analytics (e.g., WP Engine error logs, Core Web Vitals, GTmetrix/PageSpeed reports) and explain what they show - Notice and flag anomalies proactively — a spike or drop in errors, a plugin conflict, a broken tracking script - Diagnose and resolve performance issues (page speed, slow queries, bloated plugins, render-blocking scripts) - Handle technical SEO issues (crawl errors, schema, redirects, broken links, site structure) - Recognize breaks in production and prioritize getting them fixed Implement Figma designs accurately and consistently in Elementor TYPICAL PROJECTS - Building new marketing pages and reusable Elementor sections from Figma files - Investigating and resolving site errors, bugs, and performance regressions - Monitoring and improving page speed / Core Web Vitals - Identifying and fixing technical SEO issues - Updating existing pages and maintaining responsive behavior across devices - General WordPress/Elementor maintenance (updates, plugin conflicts, backups, security) HOW WE WORK - Project tracking: Asana — all work is assigned and tracked there - Urgent/real-time communication: Slack - Design reference: Figma (we design the pages; you build and diagnose) RELIABILITY EXPECTATIONS - 3–4 hours of real-time overlap with U.S. Eastern Time (EST/EDT) so we can troubleshoot live when needed. - Treat production issues as urgent and prioritize restoring service - Test work before deployment BONUS SKILLS - Experience with WP Engine specifically - Deeper performance/technical SEO specialization - Accessibility (WCAG) experience TO APPLY, PLEASE INCLUDE - A brief introduction about yourself or your agency. - Examples of 2–3 WordPress/Elementor sites you've built or maintained. We'd also love to know if this included any troubleshooting or performance work. - Your typical workflow when you receive a new project or bug report — specifically, how and when you ask questions. - Your working hours/timezone, and how many hours overlap with U.S. Eastern Time. - Whether you work independently or as part of a team, and who we'd be communicating with day to day. - Your hourly rate and current availability (hours/week).
