Longwell Partners
Longwell Partners is a full-service, pro-democracy communications firm based in Washington, DC. We specialize in high-profile political projects—including The Bulwark, Home of the Brave, and Republican Voters Against Trump—and we’re looking for a Web Developer to build high-impact advocacy and public-education websites that help shape national conversations.
If you’re a creative, detail-oriented developer who enjoys turning design and strategy into clean, effective, user-friendly websites, we’d love to hear from you.
About the Role You’ll own the full build process – from interpreting a creative brief to taking a site live. Most projects start from scratch and move quickly, so you’ll combine technical skill with good judgment and self-sufficiency. You will collaborate closely with our in-house graphic designer and communications strategists, contribute ideas, and turn concepts into polished, reliable sites that perform well and look great.
You should be comfortable owning the full life cycle of a site — translating designs into clean, responsive code, managing hosting and deployments, and ensuring the finished product performs reliably across devices. Familiarity with frameworks like React or Next.js, or curiosity to learn them, is a plus.
Responsibilities
Build and launch project websites and microsites from scratch
Translate designs and briefs into site architecture, timelines, and clear deliverables
Implement responsive, accessible interfaces using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
Maintain and extend existing sites
Configure hosting, DNS, and SSL; deploy updates and troubleshoot issues
Collaborate with designers and strategists to develop interactive and creative elements
Test thoroughly, monitor performance, and iterate based on results
Contribute ideas for improving workflow efficiency and site performance
What We’re Looking For
2+ years of professional experience in web development in an agency, campaign, freelance, or similar setting
Strong fundamentals in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
Experience building and maintaining websites using a CMS or comparable content framework
Comfort with Git and modern development workflows, including deploying updates to staging and production
Basic hosting and deployment skills (e.g., WP Engine, Netlify, or similar)
Clear communicator who collaborates well with designers and non-technical teammates
Detail-oriented, proactive, and comfortable in a fast-paced, high-accountability environment
Ability to work on-site in downtown DC five days a week (this is not a remote opportunity)
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with PHP or modern front-end frameworks such as React or Next.js
Ability to build simple app-like features and integrate third‑party APIs or forms
Familiarity with analytics and tag management tools (G4A, Meta, or Google Ads pixels)
Curiosity about emerging technologies, including AI‑powered features or automation
Why Join Us
Competitive salary and 100% covered medical insurance
401(k) matching program
Metro‑accessible, downtown DC location
A collaborative, mission‑driven culture that values hard work, initiative, and shared success
The chance to build digital products that reach large audiences and support pro‑democracy advocacy
Room to grow: Learn new technologies, expand your skill set, and contribute to a high‑performing team
What Success Looks Like In your first year, you will:
Launch 8–12 project websites that meet our quality and performance standards
Develop reusable templates and workflows that accelerate future projects
Help the communications team test ideas quickly and efficiently
Strengthen our in-house digital capacity ahead of the 2026 election cycle
How to Apply Please send your resume and a brief cover letter to jobs@longwellpartners.com. In your cover letter, tell us why you are interested in Longwell Partners and how your experience makes you a strong fit for this role.
