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.

What You’ll Be Doing

• 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.

We know how important it is to enjoy coming to work every day, so we have lots of things in place that turn the idea of an average 9-5 on its head:

• New top spec machine of your choice
• Flexible hybrid-working
• Flexible working hours
• Annual personal training budget to be spent on professional development you choose
• Loyalty holiday days
• Christmas shut down
• Opportunities to go to conferences and industry events
• Training and entry to industry-recognised certifications
• Pension scheme
• City Centre onsite parking
• Secure indoor bike storage
• Opportunity to work on internal projects
• Great social/community events that come from working in the Baltic Triangle including monthly meet-ups and seasonal parties, helping to foster collaborative relationships within our community
