Full Stack Web Developer

If your idea of “full stack” is tweaking a WordPress theme and writing two lines of JavaScript… don’t bother.

We’re hiring someone who can actually build, debug, optimize, and ship — not someone who needs StackOverflow to survive every 10 minutes.

Pekaabo is a fast-paced marketing agency working across AI, tech, SaaS, hospitality, e-commerce, and global brands. We’re lean, we move fast, and we don’t have patience for slow thinkers or sloppy work.

Who We’re Looking For

A developer who is:

• Writes clean, readable, maintainable code — not spaghetti chaos.
• Uses AI tools intelligently to accelerate workflows — not to generate garbage code.
• Understands design enough to avoid creating ugly UX nightmares.
• Can build high-performance, responsive websites without relying on a thousand plugins.
• Knows how to Google intelligently but doesn’t depend on it for every function.
• Can take ownership of tasks without asking for “step-by-step instructions.”
• Executes fast and fixes bugs without excuses.
• Cares about page speed, SEO-friendliness, security, and real-world usability.

Your Day-to-Day

• Develop fast, responsive, SEO-optimized websites and landing pages.
• Build custom functionality (not everything needs a plugin).
• Convert Figma designs into pixel-perfect frontends.
• Use AI tools (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Codeium, Claude, etc.) to accelerate development where it makes sense.
• Work on WordPress, custom stacks, API integrations, and front-end frameworks.
• Optimize site speed, structure, user experience, and overall performance.
• Troubleshoot issues like a problem-solver — not a problem-avoider.
• Collaborate with designers, content, SEO, and marketing teams to deliver final production-ready outputs.
• Handle both new builds and maintenance without drama.

Core Skills You MUST Have

Frontend

• HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript (solid, not beginner level)
• Tailwind / Bootstrap
• React / Next.js fundamentals preferred
• Pixel-perfect Figma to frontend skills

Backend

• PHP (must be comfortable)
• Node.js basics preferred
• API integrations
• Database understanding (MySQL/Postgres)

CMS & Systems

• WordPress (custom themes, not drag-and-drop amateur hour)
• WooCommerce basics
• Hosting/server basics (cPanel, DNS, migrations)

AI Skills

(Yes, this matters now. If you hate AI, you're already outdated.)

• Ability to use AI tools to speed up:
• Code generation
• Refactoring
• Documentation
• Troubleshooting
• Testing
• Knowledge of AI-integrated dev environments (Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, etc.)
• Understanding how to validate and correct AI-generated code — not blindly trust it

Bonus Skills (Nice to Have but Not Dealbreakers)

• Experience with Shopify or Webflow
• Knowledge of security best practices
• Automation tools or AI-based development workflows

Experience

• 1–2 years

  minimum (agency experience helps, but not mandatory)
• If your portfolio shows actual shipped projects that work, load fast, and look clean — you’re good.

Who Should NOT Apply

Let’s save each other time:

• If you rely on plugins for everything
• If you write messy, unstructured code
• If you can’t debug your own work
• If you need handholding for basics
• If you blame “system issue” for everything
• If you break something and hide it

Why Work With Pekaabo

• Real-world projects, global brands, and fast-paced growth.
• Freedom to build things your way — as long as the final output is solid.
• Zero bureaucracy, minimal meetings, no corporate fluff.
• A team that values speed, quality, and actual skills — not degrees.

If you’re the kind of developer who builds, ships, and improves — not complains, delays, and excuses — you’ll do well here.
