Full-time · San Antonio, TX

Leadhub is a full-service marketing agency focused on growing home service and trades businesses. We have our own custom WordPress theme, built in-house. You'll learn it inside out. Most of your work is standing up client sites on that foundation and shaping it to each trade's business, not starting from a blank file. Some of it is improving the theme itself, so the next build goes faster and cleaner.

Our clients are trade businesses: HVAC, plumbing, roofing, electrical. A slow page or a broken form costs them real jobs, so the details you get right make a major impact on our clients’ ability to grow their business. You'll also carry a working knowledge of technical SEO and how AI search reads a page, because at Leadhub we believe a site that ranks and a site that's built well are the same.


The Work

  • Build client sites on Leadhub's theme, from the designer's file to a live page
  • Extend and improve the core theme so every site after it benefits
  • Wire content with ACF so a non-developer can edit a page without breaking the layout
  • Reach for Elementor when a page builder fits, hand-code when it doesn't
  • Build pages that load fast. Compressed images sized to fit, a short plugin list, and no scripts the page never uses.
  • Add schema and structured data so pages earn rich results and surface in AI Overviews
  • Build technical SEO into every site. Semantic HTML, canonical tags, clean URLs, a crawlable structure with no orphan pages.
  • Manage our automations and integrations for the Leadhub team and clients. Zapier workflows, scripts against client and vendor APIs, small internal tools when nothing off the shelf fits.
  • Keep forms, tracking, and integrations firing correctly, then confirm they still do
  • Fix and improve existing client sites without breaking what already works
  • Own the path from staging to production so nothing ships untested, managing WP Engine environments, Cloudflare, DNS, and site migrations along the way


What Good Looks Like

  • Pages pass Core Web Vitals. Actually green, not close enough.
  • The next developer opens your code and knows what's happening in a minute
  • The site launches on the date you committed to, tested, no scramble at go-live
  • Structured data validates and the client shows up where they should
  • A change to the shared theme doesn't break the sites already running on it
  • Multiple client sites in flight, all moving forward on schedule
  • Forms, tracking, and integrations fire correctly and stay that way


What You Bring

  • Three or more years building and delivering WordPress sites, not just editing them
  • PHP you can write and debug yourself, comfort in the template hierarchy, and ACF as second nature
  • You can pick up a codebase someone else built and work within it instead of rewriting it
  • Real work in Elementor or Bricks, and the judgment to know when to skip them
  • A feel for technical SEO. Schema, site speed, semantic markup, crawlability.
  • Enough grasp of AI search to build pages that structured data can feed
  • Automation experience. Zapier or Make, plus scripting against an API in PHP, JavaScript, or Python.
  • Git, a staging habit, and testing before you push
  • Real care for the details, because on a trades site a broken form is a lost customer
  • You finish what you start, and you'd rather do it once, right
  • Comfortable using an LLM like Claude to write code faster when it earns its place, and sharp enough to catch what it gets wrong
  • A portfolio or GitHub we can look at matters more than a degree


Bonus Points

  • GA4 and Google Tag Manager setup
  • Experience with accessibility and remain up to date with web standards
  • You've handed sites to an SEO or content team and kept them happy
  • Experience on a support team and communicating with clients on closed tasks or opportunities for improvement
  • UI/UX experience with a strong focus on conversion rate optimization


What We Offer

  • Competitive salary commensurate with experience
  • Health benefits and 401K
  • In-office in San Antonio, working alongside the rest of the team


How We Work

We give you a clear brief and a real deadline, then leave you to build. You'll have several client sites in flight, so you'll move between them, but the work is heads-down and hands-on. If you take pride in a clean build and want the room to get it right, you'll like it here. If you'd rather leave things half-finished and move on, you won't.
