Pekaabo - Stay Ahead...

If your idea of “full stack” is tweaking a WordPress theme and writing two lines of JavaScript… don’t bother. We’re hiring someone who can actually build, debug, optimize, and ship — not someone who needs StackOverflow to survive every 10 minutes. Pekaabo is a fast-paced marketing agency working across AI, tech, SaaS, hospitality, e-commerce, and global brands. We’re lean, we move fast, and we don’t have patience for slow thinkers or sloppy work. Who We’re Looking For A developer who is: Writes clean, readable, maintainable code — not spaghetti chaos. Uses AI tools intelligently to accelerate workflows — not to generate garbage code. Understands design enough to avoid creating ugly UX nightmares. Can build high-performance, responsive websites without relying on a thousand plugins. Knows how to Google intelligently but doesn’t depend on it for every function. Can take ownership of tasks without asking for “step-by-step instructions.” Executes fast and fixes bugs without excuses. Cares about page speed, SEO-friendliness, security, and real-world usability. Your Day-to-Day Develop fast, responsive, SEO-optimized websites and landing pages. Build custom functionality (not everything needs a plugin). Convert Figma designs into pixel-perfect frontends. Use AI tools (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Codeium, Claude, etc.) to accelerate development where it makes sense. Work on WordPress, custom stacks, API integrations, and front-end frameworks. Optimize site speed, structure, user experience, and overall performance. Troubleshoot issues like a problem-solver — not a problem-avoider. Collaborate with designers, content, SEO, and marketing teams to deliver final production-ready outputs. Handle both new builds and maintenance without drama. Core Skills You MUST Have Frontend HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript (solid, not beginner level) Tailwind / Bootstrap React / Next.js fundamentals preferred Pixel-perfect Figma to frontend skills Backend PHP (must be comfortable) Node.js basics preferred API integrations Database understanding (MySQL/Postgres) CMS & Systems WordPress (custom themes, not drag-and-drop amateur hour) WooCommerce basics Hosting/server basics (cPanel, DNS, migrations) AI Skills (Yes, this matters now. If you hate AI, you're already outdated.) Ability to use AI tools to speed up: Code generation Refactoring Documentation Troubleshooting Testing Knowledge of AI-integrated dev environments (Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, etc.) Understanding how to validate and correct AI-generated code — not blindly trust it Bonus Skills (Nice to Have but Not Dealbreakers) Experience with Shopify or Webflow Knowledge of security best practices Automation tools or AI-based development workflows Experience 1–2 years minimum (agency experience helps, but not mandatory) If your portfolio shows actual shipped projects that work, load fast, and look clean — you’re good. Who Should NOT Apply Let’s save each other time: If you rely on plugins for everything If you write messy, unstructured code If you can’t debug your own work If you need handholding for basics If you blame “system issue” for everything If you break something and hide it Why Work With Pekaabo Real-world projects, global brands, and fast-paced growth. Freedom to build things your way — as long as the final output is solid. Zero bureaucracy, minimal meetings, no corporate fluff. A team that values speed, quality, and actual skills — not degrees. If you’re the kind of developer who builds, ships, and improves — not complains, delays, and excuses — you’ll do well here.
