At 10up, we call developers like you engineers because you aren’t just a “coder”: you’re an innovative problem solver that uses web programming skills to craft smart, creative solutions to client challenges. As a Staff Web Engineer at 10up you will be a part of the Engineering Leadership team, not only taking the driving seat in building websites and solutions utilized by millions of people daily, but also actively cultivating strong long-lasting relationships with our biggest clients. 10uppers have been pushing the boundaries of WordPress for over 12 years; as a Staff Web Engineer, you take this to the next level, often paving the way through uncharted territory thanks to your ability to learn new skills quickly and adapt to the fast-paced changes happening in our industry.
You’ll work on a combination of unique enterprise level projects, leveraging your seasoned technical leadership skills to collaborate with a cross-disciplinary team and take full ownership of technical strategy and deliverables. As a leading digital agency, 10up’s client roster spans from innovative startups and impactful non-profits to some of the biggest names in the industry, such as ESPN, Google, The New York Times Co., Microsoft, and The Nobel Prize Committee.

- Contribute to the improvement of the Engineering discipline by advancing internal initiatives, engaging on Engineering Leadership discussions, and leading and mentoring other fellow engineers in the context of your projects

- Ultimately you will make the web better by finely crafting websites, apps, and tools that reach millions of online visitors every day
About you:
