About the role

SpecterOps is seeking an Associate Web Developer with WordPress experience to support the ongoing development, optimization, and maintenance of our public-facing web presence.
You will work closely with our Marketing team to build and refine web pages, implement new functionality, and ensure our WordPress environment is well-maintained and scalable.
We're looking for a self-directed developer who communicates clearly, manages their own workload effectively, and takes ownership of deliverables from start to finish. You should be equally comfortable building new features from scratch and jumping into an existing codebase to troubleshoot and improve it. The ideal candidate will bring both technical depth and an eye for design to every engagement.
Salary Range: base salary annually, commensurate with experience.
$65,000 - $100,000
Location: This position is remote, based in the U.S. with frequent travel for events they are leading, conferences, quarterly for in-person company events and other ad hoc meetings.

Preferred candidate location: West United States

Candidate must be authorized to work and reside in the United States; we do not currently sponsor immigration visas.
