WordPress Developer (Elementor Expert)

About the role

The WordPress Developer (Elementor Expert) role at Intellibright is a 6-month contract-to-hire position with a hybrid schedule requiring in-office collaboration 3 days per week. This role is part of the Web Development / Delivery team and involves building, optimizing, and maintaining high-performing marketing websites and landing pages for clients.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain WordPress websites and landing pages primarily using Elementor (Theme Builder, templates, global widgets, reusable sections, dynamic content)
• Create and enforce maintainable Elementor systems (global styles, design tokens, template standards, component reuse)
• Configure and manage WordPress foundations: theme settings, plugins, environments, user roles, backups, and site hygiene
• Work with ACF and custom post types/taxonomies to support scalable content and dynamic page builds
• Troubleshoot complex Elementor + WordPress issues (layout bugs, responsiveness, plugin conflicts, performance bottlenecks)
• Implement marketing integrations: forms, tracking, analytics, tag manager support, CRM/email tooling integrations
• Support QA, staging-to-production releases, and documentation to keep delivery predictable across multiple client sites

Requirements

• 3+ years of professional WordPress development experience (agency / multi-client work strongly preferred)
• Expert-level Elementor experience: Theme Builder, templates, global widgets, responsive workflows, dynamic content, and system-based building
• Strong grasp of WordPress fundamentals (themes/plugins, WP admin, troubleshooting, content modeling)
• Pro-level front-end implementation skills (HTML/CSS + enough JavaScript to debug and integrate confidently)
• Proven ability to optimize WordPress/Elementor sites for performance (CWV, caching, asset optimization, image strategy)
• Comfortable working across multiple projects and collaborating with cross-functional teams
• Clear communicator—able to explain tradeoffs, timelines, and technical constraints without drama
• Must be Austin-based or willing to relocate (hybrid schedule requires in-person work 3 days/week)
