Full Stack Web Developer
UPG Australia
Job Description
Herga Group is looking for a hands‑on Full Stack Web Developer to build, maintain and continuously improve websites across our portfolio of businesses.
We're looking for someone who enjoys both development and design. You'll work with code, build responsive websites, develop custom functionality and integrations, and create polished digital experiences that support business growth.
WordPress is our primary platform today, but we’re technology agnostic. We’re interested in developers who can bring new ideas, technologies and better ways of building for the future.
This is not a marketing coordinator role. This is a genuine development role where you’ll be actively building and improving websites every day.
About the Role
You’ll be the primary website delivery resource across the Herga Group, working across new website builds, enhancements, landing pages, integrations and ongoing improvements for multiple brands and industries.
You’ll collaborate with Marketing, IT, Digital and business stakeholders, while being supported by experienced specialists across web development, digital engineering, SEO and digital growth.
Alongside our WordPress environment, you’ll have opportunities to contribute to eCommerce, integrations, automation, AI and the future evolution of our digital platforms.
What You’ll Be Doing
Building, enhancing and maintaining websites across the Herga Group
Developing custom functionality using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP and other relevant technologies
Creating responsive, visually engaging and user-friendly digital experiences
Building reusable templates, components and modules
Working with APIs, integrations, eCommerce and business systems
Improving SEO, performance, security and accessibility
Exploring new technologies, automation and AI where they can improve our digital platforms
What We’re Looking For
Essential
Commercial experience as a Web Developer
Strong HTML, CSS and JavaScript skills
Strong WordPress experience
PHP and backend development experience
Experience with APIs and third-party integrations
Solid understanding of website hosting and web technologies
Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
Nice to Have
UX/UI or visual design experience
WooCommerce, Shopify or other eCommerce experience
Technical SEO knowledge
Experience with modern web frameworks or headless architectures
Exposure to Microsoft 365 integrations, automation or AI platforms
About You
You sit comfortably between developer and designer. You’re just as happy working in HTML, CSS, JavaScript or PHP as you are refining a layout or improving the user experience.
You’re a practical problem-solver who enjoys taking ownership, learning new technologies and, most importantly, building great websites.
You can work independently but also enjoy collaborating with developers, digital specialists, marketers and business stakeholders.
Why Join Herga Group?
Build digital experiences across a diverse portfolio of businesses and industries
Join a growing Digital Centre of Excellence with experienced development and SEO specialists
Work across websites, eCommerce, integrations, automation and AI
Help shape the future technology direction of our digital platforms
Build new solutions, not just maintain existing ones
