Headquarters: Colombia

About the Role
We’re hiring a Web Developer (Multi-Platform Maintenance). You’ll be the go-to person keeping multiple client websites running smoothly—a versatile developer who thrives on variety, learns fast, and takes pride in details.
Hook & Ladder is a purpose-driven digital marketing agency serving multi-location restaurant and franchise brands across the US and Canada. We are looking for a Mid-level Web Developer who is detail-oriented, eager to learn, and ready to support technical delivery across multiple projects. You will jump between projects, keep websites updated, and grow as a developer in a fast-paced agency environment.
This role is for someone who loves variety, picks up new tools quickly, and wants hands-on mentorship from our Web Lead and senior developers while building real-world experience across WordPress, Elementor, Shopify, and Wix. You’ll work under the guidance of our Web Lead, so you should be proactive, communicative, and comfortable asking questions.
This is a hands-on maintenance role. You’ll handle WordPress + Elementor Pro edits and troubleshooting across a rotating portfolio of client sites, plus make practical edits in Shopify and Wix (product/page updates, theme customization) when a project calls for it.
Why Hook & Ladder?
- Remote-first, flexible, and built on trust: We care about outcomes, not clock-ins. You'll have the autonomy to own your work without micromanagement.
- Real impact: Your ideas won't sit in a deck collecting dust. You'll help drive measurable growth for exciting multi-location brands.
- Built to grow: As the agency scales, so can your career. We invest in your development through coaching, strengths-based growth, and continuous feedback.
- Collaborative team: You'll partner closely with Client Success, Content, Design, SEO, and Leadership in a fast-moving environment.
- Great rewards: Enjoy a remote-first culture, flexible PTO, unlimited sick days, and a profit-sharing program.
What You'll Be Doing
- WordPress & Elementor Maintenance: Handle day-to-day edits, content updates, and troubleshooting. Ensure every change looks right across devices and browsers.
- Quality Assurance & Technical Oversight: Test your own work before marking a ticket done. Catch broken layouts, spacing issues, and missed details.
- Problem-Solving & Debugging: Troubleshoot common WordPress and Elementor issues (plugin conflicts, layout breaks, broken links).
- Multi-Platform Versatility: Make practical edits in Shopify and Wix (product/page updates, theme customization, basic app setup).
- Innovation & Continuous Improvement: Communicate proactively with the Web Lead and account teams on ticket status and blockers. Stay curious and keep learning new tools.
Requirements
- 1–3 years of hands-on experience with WordPress + Elementor (agency experience is a plus).
- Comfortable building and editing pages in Elementor Pro using existing templates and global styles.
- Working knowledge of HTML5 and CSS3 for small custom tweaks (PHP/MySQL knowledge is a bonus).
- Understanding of responsive design, accessibility, cross-browser compatibility, and performance optimization.
- Comfortable making basic edits in Shopify and/or Wix.
- Commitment to website security, SSL, and best practices.
- Proactive communication style; you prefer to ask questions rather than guess.
- Understanding of business goals and how they relate to website performance.
- Curiosity about AI, automation, and modern tools.
- Strong English communication skills (B2+).
Bonus Points (Nice to Have)
- Experience with multi-location or franchise brands (QSR, retail, hospitality).
- Hands-on experience with Shopify and/or Wix beyond basic edits.
- Familiarity with GTM and GA4 implementation.
- Familiarity with Agile/Scrum and ticketing tools (ClickUp, Asana, Jira).
- Spanish or French proficiency.
This Role Is Not for You If:
- You need to focus on a single project; this role requires juggling several client sites at once.
- “Close enough” is good enough for you.
- You avoid collaboration and prefer working in a silo.
- You resist documentation or coding standards.
- You ignore security, performance, or QA best practices.
- You think learning new tools isn’t necessary.
