Junior-Level Full Stack Web Developer

At SimpsonScarborough, we spend our days building brands that endure, inspire, and elevate the all-important work of colleges and universities in shaping our future. Recognized as a leader in the higher education marketing industry, we are a fully remote team of approximately 70 employees working coast to coast.

We’re looking for a Full Stack Web Developer who thinks like a creative and builds like an engineer. You’ll partner closely with designers and strategists to develop responsive, accessible, and high-performing websites that balance creative vision with technical efficiency. We want a developer who is engaged in the process, contributing ideas, and genuinely invested in the outcome of the work.

What You’ll Do

• Build responsive, accessible websites from Figma designs using modern development practices.
• Collaborate with designers on feasibility, animations, and finding the right balance between brand expression and engineering efficiency.
• Build sites using traditional CMS platforms (WordPress, Drupal) and headless CMS setups (Sanity, Contentful).
• Ensure cross-browser and cross-device compatibility, optimizing for performance and WCAG 2.2 accessibility standards.
• Conduct quality assurance and cross-browser testing to maintain functionality and performance throughout the project lifecycle.

What We’re Looking For

• 2–3 years of full-stack development experience, preferably in an agency environment.
• Proficiency in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Tailwind CSS, and Alpine.js.
• Experience with Git/version control, traditional CMS platforms (WordPress, Drupal), and headless CMS workflows (Sanity, Contentful).
• Strong understanding of accessibility standards (WCAG 2.2) and SEO best practices.
• A portfolio that demonstrates both technical capability and creative sensibility.
• A collaborative working style — comfortable engaging directly with designers and contributing to the creative process from the start.
• Experience with React or Vue is a plus.

A portfolio is required to be considered for this role.

Salary, Benefits & Perks

• Salary starts at $90,000 - $105,000 and will be commensurate with experience
• Comprehensive benefits package including nationwide health, dental, and vision coverage, 401(k) with employer contribution, employer-paid life insurance and short-term disability
• Flexible time off (FTO) with additional time-off options, including sick, volunteer & bereavement leave, paid parental leave, a day off on your birthday PLUS two agency-wide closures in the summer and winter
• Monthly lifestyle stipend to supplement your routine wellness costs like streaming subscriptions, gym, or phone/internet costs
