Remote Full Stack Developer (Frontend-Focused) - Brazil
We're looking for a Full Stack Developer who loves building clean, performant interfaces and knows their way around a CMS well enough to make the backend work for the frontend, not against it. You'll spend most of your time in HTML, CSS/SASS, and JavaScript — building custom Gutenberg blocks, theming, and pixel-perfect implementations from design mockups — while staying comfortable enough in PHP and WordPress/Drupal internals to troubleshoot, extend, and integrate when needed.
You'll work directly with our design and consulting teams to turn mockups into fast, accessible, well-crafted websites for clients across a range of industries.
What You'll Do
-
Build custom WordPress themes, Gutenberg blocks (ACF or React-based), and plugins from provided designs
-
Translate mockups into responsive, accessible frontend code using HTML, CSS/SASS, and modern JavaScript
-
Work within Drupal for client sites that require it — theming, content types, and module-level troubleshooting
-
Diagnose and fix frontend and backend issues across a variety of CMS platforms
-
Collaborate directly with designers, consultants, and occasionally clients to solve problems and refine implementations
-
Use AI tools like Claude Code to plan out and execute aspects of a large project.
What You Bring
Must-haves
-
5+ years of professional frontend development — strong HTML, CSS/SASS, and JavaScript fundamentals
-
3+ years building and customizing WordPress sites, including Gutenberg block development (ACF or React-based blocks)
-
Solid working knowledge of PHP (7.x/8.x) — enough to read, debug, and extend WordPress/Drupal codebases confidently
-
Practical Drupal experience — theming, content architecture, or module-level work
-
Familiarity with WordPress hooks/filters and general LAMP-stack conventions (MySQL, Git)
-
Strong communication skills and comfort collaborating in a remote, client-facing environment
-
Familiarity with AI tools such as Claude Code.
Nice-to-haves
-
Experience with React or Angular
-
Laravel or Symfony
-
Docker and Linux environment familiarity
-
AWS or other cloud platform exposure
