About the RoleITS Consulting is looking for a Junior Web Developer & WordPress Support Specialist to join our Vancouver web development team. This role is focused primarily on the ongoing support, maintenance, and management of approximately 150 client WordPress websites, with opportunities to contribute to broader web development projects as experience and workload allow.

Depending on the project, you may gain exposure to Laravel, React, Next.js, TypeScript, APIs, SQL, Docker, Linux, and Microsoft Azure. You do not need to know every technology we use on day one. We are looking for someone early in their development career who has a strong foundation in web technologies, learns quickly, troubleshoots methodically, communicates clearly, and wants hands-on experience working with real production systems and client projects.

Personal, academic, freelance, internship, and open-source projects are welcome ways to demonstrate your technical ability. Equivalent practical experience will also be considered. Nice to HaveExperience with any of the following is beneficial, but we do not expect a junior candidate to know everything: WordPress / Web • Divi, Gutenberg, Elementor, WooCommerce, Shopify • Custom WordPress themes or plugins • Pressable, Kinsta, or other managed WordPress hosting Development • Laravel or another PHP framework • React, Next.js, Vue, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS • REST APIs and integrations • SQL and relational databases • Scripting, automation, or CI/CD workflows Infrastructure / Tools • Linux, Docker, Microsoft Azure • Cloudflare, DNS, CDN, and caching • Sentry or other monitoring/error-tracking platforms • Visual Studio Code • GitHub and GitHub Copilot We actively use modern development and AI-assisted tools.

Our Clients & WorkOur web development team supports a broad mix of organizations in Vancouver, across British Columbia and Canada, and internationally. Our clients include small and mid-sized businesses, larger commercial organizations, charities and non-profits, associations, public-sector organizations, and healthcare-adjacent organizations. Our work includes traditional business websites, high-traffic WordPress sites, WooCommerce and Shopify e-commerce, campaign websites, custom web applications, APIs and integrations, internal business systems, and cloud-hosted applications. Because we support many different clients and systems, you should be comfortable moving between different websites, technologies, priorities, and technical problems throughout the week. Compensation & BenefitsSalary: $50,000–$55,000 CAD per year, depending on experience. • Full-time, Monday to Friday. • Standard office hours are approximately 8:30 AM–5:00 PM, with flexible start/end times. • Vancouver office-based position. • 3 weeks / 15 days paid vacation annually. • Employer-paid extended health and dental benefits. • Vision care. • Life, AD&D, critical illness, and long-term disability insurance. • Out-of-country emergency medical coverage. • Paramedical coverage including physiotherapy, massage therapy, and chiropractic care. • Company-supported training and professional development. • Opportunities to learn directly from experienced developers while working on active client and production systems. What Success Looks LikeYou reliably complete website maintenance and support work, communicate clearly with clients and teammates, investigate technical issues methodically, make safe production changes, document your work, and become increasingly capable of taking on development tasks with less guidance over time. We care more about demonstrated ability, judgment, curiosity, and willingness to learn than a specific degree or credential.
