Longwell Partners
Overview
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 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

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
