JLOOP is a creative agency building unforgettable digital products for enterprise customers world wide.

We're on the hunt for a full-time Word Press Developer employee and teammate. This junior role handles new site builds, content updates, targeted front-end changes, and hands‑on troubleshooting, identifying whether issues originate in plugins, themes, or custom code and resolving them within their capabilities.

You'll collaborate daily with Producers, PMs, designers, and developers to clarify requests, implement changes, verify results, and elevate more complex technical issues.

• Build new Word Press pages and sites from clear requirements, working from approved UX/UI designs when they exist and using sound design judgment to fill gaps on the fly when they don't
• Manipulate and optimize images and other graphics for web use (resizing, cropping, compressing, format conversion) before adding them to a page or build

• Apply intermediate CSS skills and basic HTML knowledge to troubleshoot layouts, spacing, typography, and content presentation.

• Check that layouts and functionality transition correctly across desktop, tablet, and mobile, correcting issues within the assigned scope.
