About Feroot and the Role

When companies trust websites with personal, payment or health information, invisible scripts are watching and opportunities for data breaches and bad actors abound. At Feroot we make sure that doesn’t happen. We make websites HIPAA compliant and secure. We automate PCI DSS compliance so payment pages stay protected. And we support over 50 more global regulations. We do this all with AI agents that provide always-on protection and work quietly in the background, turning months of manual work into minutes.

So as the owner of the Feroot website and related properties, you’ll be part of making the Internet safer.

What You’ll Do

You’ll own Feroot’s WordPress-based marketing website (feroot.com) and related web properties, building a best-in-class web experience using a modern tech stack and AI-driven development tools. This is your chance to create a web property that stands out in a sea of generic cybersecurity sites, using cutting-edge approaches to performance, design, and user experience. You’ll have ownership over the implementation, optimization, and evolution of the site, with the autonomy to experiment with new technologies and push what’s possible with WordPress and front-end development.

Building and maintaining the site:

  • Develop new pages, landing pages, and features for campaigns, product launches, and lead generation
  • Customize WordPress themes and plugins to meet design and functional requirements
  • Ensure everything is responsive, cross-browser compatible, and optimized for mobile and desktop
  • Develop templates to keep the site aligned with Feroot’s brand rules. 

Optimizing for performance and security:

  • Optimize page load times, SEO, and user experience using Google PageSpeed Insights, Yoast SEO, and analytics
  • Implement security best practices including SSL certificates, secure hosting, WordPress security plugins to align with Feroot’s cybersecurity zeitgeist
  • Conduct regular audits for web accessibility (WCAG) and data privacy compliance (GDPR, CCPA)

Working with smart people:

  • Partner with marketing and content teams to translate campaign goals into engaging web experiences
  • Collaborate with designers to implement brand-consistent assets using custom CSS, HTML, and JavaScript
  • Integrate Hubspot and marketing automation tools
  • Troubleshoot technical issues before they become problems

Using data to improve:

  • Track website performance using Search Console and other tools
  • Report on traffic, user behavior, and SEO rankings with actionable insights
  • Run A/B tests on pages and landing pages to optimize conversions

What You’ll Need

The basics:

  • 3+ years in web development, ideally in B2B tech, SaaS, or cybersecurity
  • WordPress expertise—theme customization, plugin management, custom post types
  • Strong front-end skills: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, responsive design
  • Experience with web optimization tools and analytics platforms
  • Familiarity with website security best practices and compliance standards
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities without everything falling apart
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills

What makes you stand out:

  • You’ve built websites for technical B2B audiences and made complex topics accessible
  • You have graphic design experience (Canva, Adobe Creative Suite) for creating web-ready assets
  • You’ve experimented with AI tools for content or web optimization (ChatGPT, Jasper) and know when they help vs. when they’re just hype
  • You know PHP and MySQL for advanced WordPress customizations
  • You’ve worked on cybersecurity, GRC, or compliance-focused websites

The Practical Stuff

  • Work from our downtown Toronto office full-time
  • International travel may be required (U.S., Europe, APAC) for team meetings or events
  • Flexibility during peak project periods
  • Background check required
  • Must be legally authorized to work in Canada and eligible for international travel authorization
