Company

About Spydr

We're a growing technology company building SaaS products while supporting a portfolio of client marketing websites. You'll join a collaborative engineering team where your work has direct impact - from keeping client sites healthy and performing to contributing to the development of our own products.

The role

What you'll be doing

We're looking for a hands-on engineer based in or around Bristol to own the day-to-day maintenance, content operations, and development of WordPress-powered client websites, with a secondary focus on Drupal projects. You'll be the go-to person for keeping sites fast, secure, and up to date, while also taking on build work as client requirements evolve.

This is a great fit if you're a practical, detail-oriented developer who enjoys variety - one day you might be building a new page template, the next you're diagnosing a plugin conflict or advising a client on their content structure.
