Remote WordPress Developer

About the Opportunity
emagineHealth is seeking an experienced WordPress Developer to join our growing team. The right candidate will not only love WordPress and web development, but also love the idea of having an impact on lives. 

emagineHealth is the Digital-First agency for Healthcare and Life Sciences. With 26 years in business and unmatched web development and digital marketing experience in the Health sectors, you’ll be joining a team of elite web professionals.

Our clients are improving, extending and saving lives - and we help connect them with the people in the world who need them through websites, portals, microsites and various supporting digital marketing activities. 

The Role
