Senior Full-stack Developer

Teal Media is hiring a full-time Senior Full-Stack Developer to join our collaborative, mission-driven team!

We’re looking for someone who’s excited to help build digital experiences that amplify progressive causes. You’ll work alongside our designers, developers, and strategists to bring accessible, high-performing websites to life—across both front-end and back-end layers. This role is open to candidates with a range of senior-level experience. We are hiring at two levels, and responsibilities will scale based on experience.

Who We Are

Teal Media is a full-service creative and design agency with a conscience. We believe purposeful design can transform organizations, inspire action, and enable progress. Our clients and nonprofit partners are committed to creating positive social change—and we pour every ounce of our passion and skill into helping them succeed.

We offer a variety of strategic, creative, and technical services, including brand strategy, web design and development, and creative support.

We’re a woman-founded and woman-led firm with a team that reflects a broad range of lived experiences, backgrounds, and perspectives. At Teal, we value our people above all else and choose to work with partners and clients who share those values.

What You’ll Do

As a Senior Full-Stack Developer at Teal Media, you’ll help bring mission-driven websites and digital tools to life. You’ll lead and support projects from strategy through launch—developing scalable, accessible, and beautifully crafted solutions across both front-end and back-end layers.

Your work will include:

• Building custom websites using open-source CMS platforms, primarily WordPress, including theme and plugin development

• Developing responsive, accessible front-end interfaces using semantic HTML, CSS, and modern JavaScript

• Translating UI/UX designs into technically sound, high-performing websites that work across devices and browsers

• Leading technical discovery and collaborating on solution architecture for new projects

• Integrating third-party services and tools (e.g., CRMs, analytics platforms, donation systems) based on client needs

• Conducting QA testing, cross-browser/device testing, and ongoing debugging

• Supporting existing client sites through retainers: bug fixes, feature requests, performance improvements, etc.

• Managing updates, content migrations, and long-term technical maintenance

• Participating in scoping, estimation, and project planning with designers, strategists, and PMs

• Ensuring all code meets accessibility, security, and performance standards

• Collaborating with teammates to continuously improve internal coding standards and workflows

• Creating documentation and providing training to clients and internal teams on CMS functionality

• Reviewing code from teammates and contributing to a strong feedback culture

• Participating in hiring and onboarding when needed

• Supporting technical input for business development opportunities (e.g., reviewing scopes, joining pitch calls)

• Staying up to date on web development trends, tools, and best practices—and sharing learnings with the team

Note: The exact scope of responsibilities may vary based on experience level. More senior candidates may take on increased responsibility in areas like technical leadership, mentorship, and architectural decision-making, while others may focus more on execution, collaboration, and growing their expertise across the stack.

Ideal Candidates Will Have

• 6+ years of full-stack development experience, ideally in an agency or client-facing environment

• Strong proficiency with WordPress, including custom theme and plugin development

• Proficiency in front-end technologies (HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript) and responsive, accessible development

• A clear understanding of the full website development lifecycle—from discovery to QA to launch

• Familiarity with Git workflows and development tools

• Experience translating complex design systems into functional, performant sites

• Strong communication skills and comfort working directly with clients and cross-functional teams

• An eye for detail and a commitment to writing clean, maintainable code

• Bonus: experience with modern JS frameworks, or advocacy/nonprofit clients

Ideal Location: Remote (Must be authorized to work in the US)

Compensation
