Website Support Engineer

About us:

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.

About the role:

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.

Key responibilities

WordPress (Core Responsibility)

  • Carry out regular maintenance: core, plugin, and theme updates with appropriate testing
  • Implement content updates across client websites accurately and to brief
  • Develop new pages, templates, and custom blocks using the block editor (Gutenberg) or theme builders (ACF, Elementor, or similar)
  • Troubleshoot and resolve site issues, performance bottlenecks, and plugin conflicts
  • Manage staging/production workflows and deployments

Drupal (Supporting Role)

  • Build and maintain custom components using Twig templates
  • Use the Drupal admin UI to manage content types, views, and configuration
  • Contribute to theming and front-end work on Drupal projects alongside the wider team

Analytics & Optimisation (Nice to Have)

  • Implement and audit tracking using Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics 4
  • Support on-page SEO - meta data, structured data, sitemaps, and technical audits
  • Stay informed on emerging areas, including AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) and apply best practices as they mature

Skills + requirements:

Essential

  • Solid, proven WordPress experience — maintenance, content management, and custom development
  • Comfortable working with PHP, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in a WordPress context
  • Familiarity with common WordPress tooling: ACF, WooCommerce (a plus), WP-CLI, and page builders
  • Experience with version control (Git) and basic deployment workflows
  • Good communicator and able to manage client expectations and keep stakeholders informed

Desirable

  • Drupal experience: building custom components with Twig and using the Drupal admin interface
  • Working knowledge of GA4 and Google Tag Manager
  • Foundational SEO knowledge - both technical and on-page
  • Awareness of or curiosity about AEO and GEO as LLM-driven search continues to evolve
  • Experience working in an agency or multi-client environment
  • Experience working with hosting platforms such as WpEngine, WHM

Benefits:

  • 33 days holiday (including bank holidays)
  • Additional day to celebrate your birthday
  • Option for flexible working location one day per week following probation period
  • Opportunity to work on exciting projects with well-known clients.
  • Supportive and collaborative work environment.
  • Professional development opportunities.
  • Modern office located in the heart of Bristol with great amenities and perks, including:
    • Modern gym onsite with free lunchtime gym classes 
    • Breakfast every Tuesday
    • Free lunch once a month
    • Discounts at local shops
    • Roof terrace with views across Bristol
