We specialize in web development, marketing, branding, and content production, working with organizations ranging from global enterprises to innovative startups. Our team is intentionally lean—each member plays a meaningful role in shaping outcomes, and curiosity and continuous learning are part of our DNA.
We're looking for a well-rounded developer with strong web fundamentals who is also excited about the evolving world of AI.
This is a hybrid role balancing core development and AI/automation. You'll support ongoing development projects (primarily custom WordPress sites) while helping us design and implement AI-driven solutions internally and for clients (n8n, OpenAI, Claude).
Responsibilities
• Develop and maintain WordPress websites (custom themes, plugins, integrations)
• Work with PHP, JavaScript, and modern web technologies
• Build and integrate APIs and third-party services
• Support ongoing client projects—feature development, optimizations, bug fixes
• Collaborate with designers, marketers, and project managers
• Assist in building AI-powered features using OpenAI, Claude, and similar tools
• Develop and manage workflows using n8n or other automation platforms
• Prototype and test new ideas that improve internal efficiency or client solutions
• Stay current with AI trends and bring ideas to the table
Requirements
• Strong experience with WordPress development (custom builds, not just page builders)
• Solid skills in PHP, JavaScript, and API integrations
• Comfortable working across the stack and solving real-world problems
• Interest or experience in AI tools (OpenAI, Claude, etc.)
• Exposure to or curiosity about automation tools (n8n, Zapier, etc.)
• Self-driven, resourceful, and comfortable working in a small, high-impact team
• Someone who enjoys both structured development work and exploratory innovation
Benefits
• Balanced role: stable dev work + forward-looking AI initiatives
• Opportunity to grow into a leadership role on AI projects
• Direct impact—your work won't get lost in layers of process
• A team that values initiative, curiosity, and ownership
• Tight-knit, experienced team where every contribution matters
• Diverse and meaningful client work
• Long-term mindset—both for clients and team members
• Culture of learning, adaptability, and evolution
