Senior Web Developer

Job description

We think Web Developers are total magicians.

  After all, it’s just an idea until it’s brought to life online!

At Inventive, we support our clients with smart, scalable tech—including web development—and maintain our own suite of applications.

As a Senior Web Developer here, you’ll help bring ideas to life with polished code, collaborative energy, and a sharp eye for quality.

What You’ll Be Doing On any given day, you might be collaborating with our internal team (including the CEO!) or working directly with clients to define, design, and ship new features.

You’ll manage multiple projects, so prioritization, autonomy, and clear communication are key.

This role also requires strong foundational web knowledge —you understand how the internet works under the hood (DNS, SSL, hosting), and you’re confident navigating infrastructure-level gotchas in production environments.

This is not just a heads-down coding position — we’re looking for someone who brings technical strength and leadership presence.

You’ll serve as a technical leader within the team, helping set direction and mentor others.

You’ll regularly engage with internal stakeholders and clients, so clear, professional communication is essential.
