About The Position

Clix has built a reputation on performance-driven digital marketing for clients across dozens of industries. We keep our clients' strategies ahead of the curve so they stay competitive and achieve the business and marketing objectives that matter most. This role involves building, maintaining, and shipping frontend code across a portfolio of client sites, supporting ongoing website maintenance, implementing integrations, and enforcing SEO foundations. The position also operates and contributes to an internal AI-assisted development workflow, with the expectation of improving it within the first few months. Additional responsibilities include managing domain and DNS configurations, collaborating with technical leadership, and investing in professional development.

Requirements

3 to 5 years of professional frontend development experience.
Strong TypeScript and JavaScript fundamentals and modern React patterns.
Hands-on WordPress competence: themes, plugins, custom blocks, and basic PHP comfort.
Demonstrated experience building with modern frontend frameworks: Astro, Next.js, SvelteKit, Tailwind, or similar. Objective background in these tools is preferred over theoretical familiarity.
Experience engineering and developing with agentic AI tools: ChatGPT Codex, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, or equivalent. A real story about where these tools helped, where they fell short, and what you learned is more valuable to us than a certification.
A strong eye for UX. You think about how users move through a page, not just how the code is structured. This is a core part of how we build and a meaningful differentiator for this role.
Strong instincts for performance, accessibility, and on-page SEO basics.
The editorial judgment to know when output is good enough to ship and when it isn't.
Comfort working from a brief and delivering something a non-engineer can review and sign off on.

Nice To Haves

Experience with Figma for design handoff and collaboration, including Figma AI and Claude Design, is preferred.

Responsibilities

Build, maintain, and ship frontend code across a portfolio of client sites, spanning both legacy platforms and modern web builds.
Support ongoing website maintenance across client accounts, including updates, fixes, and performance improvements as needs arise.
Implement integrations that turn a codebase into a shippable, indexable, on-brand client site: maps, reviews, analytics, deployment, and data freshness.
Enforce SEO foundations in code: structured data, canonical and indexation logic, meta implementation, and Core Web Vitals.
Work from scoped briefs and deliver review-ready artifacts. Flag back when ground-truth is needed rather than guessing.
Operate and contribute to our internal AI-assisted development workflow. Within your first few months, we expect you to be improving it, not just using it.
Manage domain and DNS configurations across client accounts, ensuring accurate setup, routing, and deployment.
Collaborate with technical leadership on decisions, quality reviews, and process improvements.
Invest in your own professional development, particularly in frontend development, agentic AI tooling, and the evolving web standards that shape how we build.
