Mid-Level Web Developer

About the Role

At Dock, we’re always on the lookout for brilliant people who love building great websites. If you’ve got a strong background in WordPress, WooCommerce and Shopify, and you know your way around a terminal as well as a browser, we’d be keen to chat.

This is a hands-on development role for someone who’s confident coding without constantly leaning on AI for answers. You’ll be working on a wide range of eCommerce and lead generation projects across sectors like education and retail with a focus on performance, usability and results.

You’ll be part of a full-service team of designers, developers and strategists who care about doing things properly from design and prototyping through to launch and beyond. We work in small, collaborative teams and move quickly. You’ll need to be happy switching between projects and solving different problems each week.

Writing, maintaining and reviewing clean, scalable code across WordPress, WooCommerce and Shopify projects

Improving conversion, speed and accessibility across client sites

Debugging and fixing issues across front-end and back-end

Keeping an eye on performance, usability and design standards

Collaborating with the wider team on product planning and design

Supporting deployments and maintaining staging/live environments

Using GIT, managing branches, and working collaboratively with other developers

Thinking like a user and helping our clients build the right things, the right way

What We’re Looking For

Strong knowledge of PHP, HTML, CSS (SASS), JS

Solid experience with WordPress, WooCommerce and Shopify

Familiarity with server setup, maintenance and hosting tools

Comfortable working across multiple active projects

Great communication and a collaborative mindset

Passion for problem-solving and continuous improvement

Interest in accessibility, UX best practices and performance optimisation

A willingness to work on other projects and expand skill levels

5–10 years experience working in web development roles

It would be great if you had:

Knowledge of CSS pre-compilers (SASS) and CSS patterns

Knowledge of Continuous Integration / Deployment

Experience with Git

Experience with gulp, yarn and modern dev environments (Docker, Vagrant etc.)

Functional programming knowledge

Examples of your commercial work

Design sensibility or experience working closely with designers

Why People Like Working Here

We’re based in the Baltic Triangle in Liverpool and have built a team that enjoys working together and building things that make a real impact. We eat together once a week to ensure we build collaborative relationships with like minded people who like to have fun whilst they work.
