Shape Digital Experiences From Anywhere

Are you passionate about crafting exceptional content management systems that scale effortlessly? We’re looking for a Remote CMS Developer with a firm grasp of modern CMS architecture, backend logic, and frontend integration. If you enjoy optimizing digital workflows, collaborating remotely with product teams, and transforming business needs into smooth publishing experiences, this is your opportunity to make a lasting impact from the comfort of your workspace. This role offers an annual salary of $129,886 and provides a chance to contribute to innovative content delivery ecosystems worldwide.

Key Responsibilities

As a Remote CMS Developer, you’ll be at the heart of our digital operations. Your mission is to develop, maintain, and enhance robust content management systems that empower teams to publish and manage digital content at scale.

• Design, build, and maintain scalable CMS platforms tailored to varied user needs
• Customize CMS templates, plugins, and modules to enhance functionality and ensure seamless integration.
• Collaborate with UI/UX designers to ensure responsive, engaging front-end experiences.
• Integrate third-party APIs, RESTful services, and secure user authentication protocols.

• Ensure version control and deployment consistency using Git workflows and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines.
• Document technical processes and provide CMS training to internal users when needed.

• Deep understanding of headless CMSs and traditional systems like WordPress, Drupal, Contentful, or Strapi
• Solid grasp of JavaScript frameworks, PHP, or Node.js for CMS customization
• Familiarity with JAMstack architecture and serverless deployment models
• Responsive design expertise using HTML5, CSS3, SCSS, or TailwindCSS
• Experience implementing roles, permissions, and multi-site publishing
• Awareness of SEO best practices, accessibility standards, and schema markup
• Strong debugging skills using browser tools, logs, and monitoring platforms

Remote Work Environment

You’ll be part of a globally distributed team that values transparency, asynchronous collaboration, and outcome-focused workflows. Our remote environment is optimized for deep work, creative autonomy, and aligned delivery.

What to Expect

• Flexible hours that suit your time zone and rhythm
• Async-first communication via Slack and Notion
• Biweekly team calls and quarterly virtual summits
• Inclusive feedback culture and mentorship opportunities
• Outcomes, not clocked time, measure performance

Candidate Qualifications

• 3+ years of hands-on experience with CMS development
• Proven portfolio or examples of CMS projects you've led or contributed to
• Ability to independently manage tasks, timelines, and code quality
• Strong problem-solving instincts and commitment to clean, maintainable code
• Comfortable navigating multi-stakeholder environments remotely

Why This Role Stands Out

This isn’t just another remote dev job. You’ll be part of something that values creativity, flexibility, and purpose-driven tech.

• Competitive salary: $129,886 annually
• 100% remote from anywhere in the world
• Annual tech stipend and access to paid tools/licenses
• Focused scope—work deeply on meaningful CMS projects
• Space to propose ideas and contribute to product direction
• Supportive engineering culture with low ego and high talent
