About The Position

MESH is a creative brand agency that believes true partnerships drive everything we do. For over 20 years, we've combined deep listening with strategic thinking and collaborative creativity to deliver work that moves the needle forward for our clients. We're looking for a Senior Web Developer who cares as much about craft as they do about curiosity. You see every project as a chance to do it better. You lose sleep over accessibility (in the best way). You're already experimenting with AI-assisted development and excited to help define what that looks like in a real agency workflow. And you want to be part of conversations, not just handed tickets.
