This person will lead the growth and expansion of Streetsense website development both with outside partners and in house.

• Someone who thrives on challenges and is passionate about building a team geared for groundbreaking work in the real estate and hospitality industries.
• An individual with a passion for identifying and leveraging new technologies and methodologies to push the boundaries of web development.
• Exceptional communication skills, capable of inspiring a team and collaborating effectively with senior management, creative leaders, and other agency teams such as content, SEO/performance marketing, and design. 
• A “swiss army knife” resource who is able to flex towards strategy and innovation but also happy to jump in and take care of small programming needs. 

Requirements

• Experience utilizing HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP to develop visually appealing and interactive web pages; implement animation effects using CSS animations, JavaScript libraries like GSAP, or animation frameworks.
• Ability to program ambitiously designed pages featuring animation, creative grid layouts, and outside-the-box design while adhering to best practices for usability and accessibility.
• Experience with popular integrations such as HubSpot for marketing automation, Yardi for real estate management, Engrain for interactive property mapping, BDX for home builder solutions, and mapping APIs like Google Maps and Mapbox.
• Experience with the set up, configuration, and management of hosting environments for WordPress websites using platforms like WPEngine, AWS (Amazon Web Services), GoDaddy, or similar hosting providers.
• Experience in server management, domain configuration, DNS settings, SSL certificates, and security best practices to ensure smooth website operation. Ability to troubleshoot hosting-related issues and optimize performance for speed and reliability.
• Ability to effectively communicate technical solutions, concepts, and challenges to non-technical stakeholders such as clients, project managers, or creative teams, and translate complex technical concepts into clear, understandable language for non-developers.
• Ability to provide documentation, training material, and support to empower non-developers in managing and updating website content or utilizing integrated services.

Preferred Qualifications:
