Contract Web Developer Front-End Focused

Contract Web Developer - Front-End Focused Contract Web Developer - Front-End Focused Contract Web Developer - Front-End Focused Freelance · Project-by-project · Fully remote Location: Fully remote (U.S.) Engagement: Contract, hourly Rate: $50-$75 / hour Focus area: Front-end development for client websites & web applications ROLLING APPLICATION - NOT A SINGLE OPENING We accept applications continuously. This is not a posting for one position. Work comes in as our client projects do, so the need may be immediate or it may be months away. We keep every application on file and reach out when a project matches what you do. ABOUT THE ROLE We are building a bench of contract developers we can call on as client work comes in. We are looking for a front-end focused web developer who is comfortable working across the stack. You will build the interfaces our clients' customers actually use - new sites, single-page web applications, and feature work on sites already in production. You do not need to architect back-end systems, but you should be able to work confidently against one: consume REST APIs, read and write SQL, and work in PHP well enough to know where a problem is coming from. Dynamic Digital modernizes outdated technology, builds on proven frameworks, and delivers efficient development that helps our clients grow with confidence. We are a small team, the feedback loop is short, and what you build goes live for real clients. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES Integrate front ends with RESTful APIs, databases, and third-party services. Develop and customize WordPress themes and plugins, and work carefully inside existing client sites. Contribute to single-page web applications from scope through launch. Write and tune SQL queries, and work comfortably in PHP against an existing back end. Maintain and improve sites already in production - diagnosing issues, resolving bugs, and improving speed. Write, test, and maintain high-quality code across multiple projects. Review every line you ship, including anything produced with AI assistance, for correctness, quality, and security. Work closely with our team - account management, design, and leadership - to deliver work clients are happy with. Test before deployment and follow current standards and best practices. Create and maintain clear technical documentation for the systems you build and touch. Work from written scopes provided by the account team, and flag scope changes early - before the hours are spent. REQUIREMENTS 2-7 years of professional web development experience Experience consuming and integrating RESTful APIs Working knowledge of SQL (MySQL or PostgreSQL) PHP. Much of our client work runs on WordPress, so PHP is required, not a nice-to-have. Enough back-end familiarity to work against an existing server-side codebase without needing it explained Working knowledge of WordPress theme and plugin development Solid understanding of version control (Git) Comfortable using AI-assisted development tools. You are accountable for what you ship with them: AI-generated code gets the same review for quality and security as anything you write by hand. Ability to work independently and deliver functional solutions with minimal oversight Clear written communication — most of our coordination is asynchronous Availability for occasional scheduled calls during Eastern business hours A portfolio and a GitHub account we can review. Formal degree not required. PREFERRED Node.js TypeScript Deeper back-end or architecture experience WooCommerce or Shopify Hosting, DNS, and cPanel SEO fundamentals and Core Web Vitals Accessibility standards (WCAG) Working from Figma designs HOW THE ENGAGEMENT WORKS Independent contractor (1099). You invoice us; you are not an employee of Dynamic Digital. Hourly at $50-$75, depending on experience and the work. Rate is agreed before each project. Project-by-project. No minimum hours are guaranteed, and we do not ask for exclusivity. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Being accepted to our bench is not a commitment of work by either side. Every project is scoped in writing - deliverables, hour estimate, and deadline - before work begins. Fully remote anywhere in the United States. Our team is in Willow Grove, PA and works Eastern hours. You control your own schedule, tools, and how the work gets done. 2713 Easton Rd ste 2a, Willow Grove, PA 19090, USA #J-18808-Ljbffr Dynamic Digital Advertising
