Join PIC, a leading digital marketing agency in Pittsburgh, in an exciting journey of growth and innovation as a Level 1 Full Stack Developer. At PIC, we specialize in creating dynamic digital marketing strategies and building the digital infrastructure that powers them. We're looking to add a dedicated and driven developer to be a part of our expanding team in the next 2-3 months.
Responsibilities for the Level 1 Full Stack Developer Position
- Build and Maintain Client Sites & Storefronts:
- Develop and maintain client sites and e-commerce storefronts, primarily on WordPress with secondary work in Shopify or HubSpot CMS.
- Execute custom integrations under senior direction — you write the code; senior leadership reviews the architecture.
- Implement tracking, forms, automations, and conversion-focused UX changes that drive measurable client outcomes.
- Break/Fix and Troubleshooting:
- Assist in diagnosing, troubleshooting, and routing website break/fix tickets to keep client sites running smoothly.
- Flag risks and edge cases to senior leadership early — your job is to surface issues, not solve critical ones solo.
- AI-Native Development Workflows:
- Use AI coding tools (Claude Code and similar) to plan, build, and QA work efficiently.
- Contribute to how PIC uses AI to deliver more for clients without compromising quality.
- Document what you build so account managers and strategists can hand it off cleanly to clients.
- Collaboration and Communication:
- Partner directly with strategists and account managers to understand client goals and translate them into technical solutions.
- Participate in code review and development practices that keep our work ship-ready.
- Communicate clearly about what you're building, why, and any blockers or risks along the way.
Qualifications
- 2–4 years of hands-on development experience (can include freelance, agency, or in-house projects).
- Strong working knowledge of WordPress (PHP, custom themes, plugin basics, and site maintenance).
- Working experience with either Shopify (Liquid, theme development) or HubSpot CMS (HubL, workflows, custom objects).
- Comfort with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and at least one server-side language (PHP, Node, or Python).
- Experience with version control and standard development practices, including Git branching, pull requests, and participating in code review.
- A disciplined approach to testing and validating your own work before handing it off.
- Experience reading and consuming REST APIs (HubSpot, Shopify, Stripe, or similar third-party integrations).
- Strong written communication — you can explain what you built and why in clear, accessible language.
- Located in or near the Greater Pittsburgh region (Morgantown to Erie, Pittsburgh to State College).
What We're Really Looking For
- Trajectory over track record. We'd rather invest in a developer climbing toward great than hire one who's already settled into good.
- Core values fit. PIC runs on a defined set of values — we'll talk about them in the interview, and we'll be looking for evidence you live them.
- Attitude. Hungry, humble, and coachable. You take feedback well and you give it honestly.
- Curiosity about AI tooling. You don't need to be an expert — you need to be the kind of person who'd spend a Saturday afternoon figuring out Claude Code on your own.
Hours, Salary & Benefits
- Competitive salary: $65,000 – $80,000/year, based on experience and demonstrated trajectory.
- 100% paid healthcare for the employee.
- Dental, vision, and supplement insurance options available.
- Flexible work schedule with remote/hybrid options.
- Company-provided computer and development tools.
- PTO.
- Hybrid working environment.
- Direct mentorship from senior leadership invested in your growth.
- Opportunities for professional development in a collaborative and innovative work environment.

We partner with small-to-mid-size marketing teams and B2B/DTC brands, offering a wide range of digital marketing and development services to elevate their businesses and achieve impactful results.
We're actively investing in AI-native workflows — Claude Code, Anthropic tooling, and MCP integration — to deliver faster, smarter solutions for our clients. This is a rare opportunity to grow as a developer inside that environment from day one.

Why This Role
- Work directly under senior leadership invested in AI-native workflows — you're not learning alone, and you're not buried under layers of management.
- Real client projects with visible business impact, not internal tickets or busywork.
- Exposure to AI-native development workflows on day one — you'll learn how to use Claude Code, Cursor, and similar tools to plan, build, and QA faster.
- Small team where your work is seen, your growth is supported, and the next level is earnable.
- A foundation for the next stage of your career — we're building developers, not just filling seats.
