Web Developer

This Opportunity

WSP is currently initiating a search for a Web Developer (Mid to Senior Level) to join our Visual Studios Interactive Department within Advanced Complimentary Services. The candidate selected for this position may work remotely full-time at a location other than a WSP-designated office or job site. This role is ideal for a developer who is motivated to combine the art of design with the art of programming to create innovative, high-impact interactive services and solutions.

In this role, you will take responsibility for the full lifecycle of web applications, including requirements gathering, design, development, testing, deployment, support, and maintenance. You will work closely with UX/UI designers to translate wireframes and mockups into performant, user-centered web applications, helping define both how applications look and how they work.

You will also collaborate with internal visualization and technical teams to bridge the gap between advanced visual content and modern web technologies, delivering engaging, interactive user experiences on mobile and desktop.
