About the Role
We’re looking for a Web Development Engineer to join the team building Highspot’s public-facing web properties. In this role, you will work on Highspot.com. Our marketing website that drives brand awareness and demand and the Highspot Community website, a full-featured customer platform where thousands of users attend events, earn certifications, participate in forums, and connect with peers. The Community platform is a large-scale WordPress application with 20+ third-party integrations and robust feature areas spanning events, learning, gamification, real-time chat, and more. You’ll partner closely with marketing, design, and cross-functional stakeholders to build and maintain engaging, high-performing digital experiences that strengthen customer connection and fuel community growth.
Responsibilities
- Build and maintain features — Develop and extend functionality across events, learning, forums, gamification, and other feature areas using your deep knowledge of PHP and JavaScript.
- Work with third-party integrations — Help build and maintain connections to services like Salesforce, Stripe, SendGrid, Marketo, and others that power critical workflows.
- Develop frontend components and templates — Build and evolve responsive, accessible UI using the WordPress block editor, Bootstrap 5, SCSS, ACF Pro fields, and WPBakery elements, translating designs into polished user experiences.
- Optimize for performance and SEO — Monitor and improve page load times, query performance, and search engine visibility.
- Ensure accessibility — Build to WCAG standards and advocate for inclusive design across every page and component the team ships.
- Collaborate cross-functionally — Partner with Marketing and Design to scope, estimate, and deliver web projects that support business goals.
- Maintain quality and reliability — Write clean, well-tested code. Participate in code reviews and contribute to coding standards, documentation, and developer tooling that make the team more effective.
Required Qualifications
- 5+ years of professional web development experience, with strong skills in both frontend and backend work.
- Deep WordPress and PHP expertise — You've pushed WordPress into application territory. You've architected solutions with complex content relationships and integrations with external systems. The WordPress hook system is second nature, and you bring architectural patterns that keep a large codebase maintainable as it grows.
- JavaScript and React — Modern ES6+ JavaScript and hands-on experience with React. Comfortable building interactive, data driven interfaces.
- Strong CSS and visual craft — You can translate a design comp into pixel-accurate, responsive, accessible markup.
- Third-party API integration experience — You've connected web applications to external services via REST APIs. Experience with payment processors, CRMs, email platforms, or real-time messaging services is valuable.
- Performance and accessibility mindset — You understand how to diagnose and fix rendering bottlenecks, optimize database queries, and build with WCAG compliance as a default, not an afterthought.
- Collaboration and communication skills — You work effectively with designers, marketers, program managers, and stakeholders who don't speak in code. You can scope work, explain trade-offs, and advocate for engineering excellence.
- Build tooling comfort — Experience with Webpack, npm scripts, and modern frontend build pipelines.

Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in our Hiring Process:
To help our recruiting team review the applications we receive, we use third-party AI-assisted tools as one input during early screening. To reduce the risk of bias, identifying details - including your name and information that could indicate age, race, gender, or disability - are removed before your resume is analyzed. This tool supports our recruiters; it does not replace them. Our team independently reviews applications, no candidate is rejected solely on the basis of the tool's output, and all hiring decisions are made by people. You may ask for your application to be reviewed without AI-assisted tools, and you may request a reasonable accommodation at any time. To do either, or to ask how your personal information is processed, contact [[email protected]]. Making a request will not affect your candidacy.
