Job Details

Full-time


Full Job Description

Encore Communications is seeking a talented Front End Website Developer to join our dynamic team. In this role, you will collaborate with our account and creative teams to design, develop, and maintain modern, visually compelling websites using Drupal and Statamic—from initial concept through final launch.

We operate strictly within a waterfall methodology, so we need a developer with experience throughout the full lifecycle of website development. The successful candidate will be comfortable taking ownership of every phase, without relying on agile or team-based approaches.

  • Lead the entire end-to-end development process of websites, ensuring timely and efficient delivery.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate business requirements into technical specifications.
  • Develop responsive, high-performance websites with a focus on usability and scalability using Drupal and Statamic.
  • Ensure seamless handoff between each phase of the waterfall process, from design to launch.
  • Stay current with best practices in website development and emerging technologies.

Note: WordPress experience is not applicable for this role.

If you’re a proactive, detail-oriented developer who thrives in structured environments and enjoys seeing projects through from start to finish, we’d love to hear from you.
