Associate WordPress Developer

About the role

SpecterOps is seeking an Associate Web Developer with WordPress experience to support the ongoing development, optimization, and maintenance of our public-facing web presence.

You will work closely with our Marketing team to build and refine web pages, implement new functionality, and ensure our WordPress environment is well-maintained and scalable.
