The Senior Developer role at Angry Creative
Our best Senior Developers drive what we can do as an agency, and use their experience to lead teams in delivering technical excellence for our clients. You will be a key part of a Unit, working with customer-facing roles to design technical solutions, promoting best practices internally and externally, and helping to oversee the successful technical delivery of client projects.

Like our technical team, you will likely have enjoyed exploring opportunities and technologies outside the standard WordPress stack – including React, PWAs, Elasticsearch, Lavarel, VueJS, Svelte, Task runners, CI/CD and advanced API integrations.
Typical activities include:
– Leading the development of WordPress and WooCommerce projects including but not limited to implementations of our product Qala
– Scoping and estimating projects and project tasks working closely with Client Success Managers and directly with clients
– Presenting work, ideas and proposed solutions to internal and external stakeholders
– Coaching and mentoring members of the team
– Problem-solving and testing proposed solutions with MVPs and prototypes
– Communicating and reporting on project development activity in team stand-ups, client meetings, daily written communications including but not limited to Slack
– Collaborating with commercial, design and development team members to create and deliver successful project outcomes according to Agile methodology
– Contributing to our internal products, and open-source projects

We encourage an environment where communication reigns supreme! Angry Creative prides itself on being an open, diverse, collaborative place to work where everyone is encouraged to be their authentic selves. Your voice matters here!
