Location: Austin, TX (Hybrid – In-Office M/W/F, Remote Tues/Thurs)
Reports To: Director of Design & Development
Team: Web Development / Delivery
The Opportunity
Intellibright is looking for a mid-level WordPress Developer with expert-level Elementor experience to help build, optimize, and maintain high-performing marketing websites and landing pages for our clients.
If you move fast without breaking things, care about clean implementation, and know how to get the most out of Elementor (Theme Builder, global systems, dynamic content, performance)—this role is for you. You’ll work closely with designers, strategists, SEO, and paid media teams to ship conversion-focused experiences that are measurable and reliable.
This is a 6-month contract-to-hire role with a hybrid schedule requiring in-office collaboration 3 days per week.

What You Will Own
-
Build and maintain WordPress websites and landing pages primarily using Elementor (Theme Builder, templates, global widgets, reusable sections, dynamic content).
-
Implement design comps into pixel-clean, responsive pages with strong attention to spacing, typography, and consistency.
-
Create and enforce maintainable Elementor systems (global styles, design tokens, template standards, component reuse).
-
Configure and manage WordPress foundations: theme settings, plugins, environments, user roles, backups, and site hygiene.
-
Work with ACF and custom post types/taxonomies to support scalable content and dynamic page builds.
-
Troubleshoot complex Elementor + WordPress issues (layout bugs, responsiveness, plugin conflicts, performance bottlenecks).
-
Improve site performance (Core Web Vitals, caching, image optimization, asset loading, reducing Elementor bloat).
-
Implement marketing integrations: forms, tracking, analytics, tag manager support, CRM/email tooling integrations.
-
Support QA, staging-to-production releases, and documentation to keep delivery predictable across multiple client sites.
What Success Looks Like
-
Elementor builds are clean, consistent, reusable, and easy for the team to maintain.
-
Pages launch quickly without sacrificing quality, responsiveness, or performance.
-
Core templates, global styles, and component libraries reduce rework and speed up delivery.
-
Performance improves over time (faster load, fewer layout shifts, better CWV).
-
Issues are diagnosed efficiently and resolved with clear communication and strong ownership.
-
Stakeholders (design, strategy, SEO, paid media) feel supported because implementation is reliable and proactive.
-
Multiple projects can move forward in parallel because you can prioritize and execute without constant oversight.
Why This Role Matters
At Intellibright, strong strategy only creates value if it is executed well.
This role ensures our web experiences—often the center of a client’s acquisition and conversion funnel—are built with speed, precision, and performance in mind. The WordPress Developer (Elementor Expert) turns creative and marketing direction into real, measurable outcomes by shipping pages that load fast, track correctly, and convert.
For the right person, this is an opportunity to be a key driver of website delivery quality in a high-performance agency where execution is just as important as ideas.
