A small dev team handles the websites, internal tools, and infrastructure behind all of it — live race results, series standings, streaming, content that gets millions of pageviews on race nights.\nWe need another developer. You’ll start with support tickets, bug fixes, and small improvements across the stack. As you learn the codebase, you’ll take on more — building features for internal tools, maintaining WordPress sites, and eventually contributing to applications that race officials, teams, and fans use.\nDay-to-day, you’ll work alongside our senior developer, who’s been building motorsports tech here for seven years. He’ll be your go-to for technical questions and code review. You’ll report to the Executive Director of Digital on the management side.\nWhat You’ll Do (First 6 Months)\nTriage and resolve support tickets and bug reports across WRG’s websites, WordPress plugins, and internal applications.Dig into bug reports in PHP, JavaScript, and SQL. Find what’s broken, fix it, get it reviewed.\nMaintain and update WordPress sites and custom plugins that pull dynamic content from our central database.\nWrite and fix database queries (MariaDB/MySQL) for content pages, reports, and internal tools.\nTroubleshoot API integrations when third-party data stops showing up where it should.\nGo through code reviews. You’ll learn the codebase and our standards by having your work reviewed and reading other people’s code.\nWrite things down. When you figure out how something works or fix a confusing issue, document it so the next person doesn’t have to start from scratch.\nWhat You’ll Grow Into\nBuilding features for internal web applications used by WRG timing and scoring staff and race officials.\nContributing to our React Native mobile applications.\nWorking with AWS infrastructure (EC2, S3, CloudFront, RDS) for deployments and troubleshooting.\nOwning entire features or subsystems once you know the codebase well enough.\nWhat We’re Looking For\nYou don’t need to be an expert at any of this. We care more about whether you can figure things out than whether you already know everything. But you should have working familiarity with:\nPHP — Enough to read existing code and make changes. No framework experience required.\nWordPress — Experience editing themes, working with custom plugins, or building on WordPress in a development context (not just using the admin panel).\nSQL — Comfortable writing SELECT queries, understanding JOINs, and reading stored procedures. You’ll be working with MariaDB daily.\nJavaScript (ES6+) — Solid fundamentals. Familiarity with a framework like React is a plus but not required.\nGit — You use version control. You can branch, commit, push, and open a pull request without hand-holding.\nREST APIs — You’ve consumed an API before and understand request/response basics.\nBonus Points\nFamiliarity with React or React Native.\nExposure to AWS services (EC2, S3, CloudFront) or any cloud hosting environment.\nExperience with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions or similar).\nInterest in or experience with Python.\nYou already know what a heat race is, or you’ve stayed up way too late watching a feature on DIRTVision.\nWho You Are\nYou read docs, search Stack Overflow, and try things before asking for help. You also know when to stop spinning your wheels and just ask.\nGood at juggling. You’ll have several small tasks going at once and need to keep track of all of them.\nWhen you break something, you say so. Then you fix it.\nNot the type to panic when something breaks during a live broadcast or a traffic spike on race night.\nInto motorsports. Not technically required, but the people here care about racing. It makes a difference when you understand what you’re building and who it’s for.\nPosition Details\nLocation: Corporate office in Concord, NC (on-site)\nStatus: Full-time, exempt\nSchedule: Standard work week, with evening and weekend hours expected during racing season (typically February–November)\nTravel: Minimal overnight travel; occasional event attendance\nReports To: Executive Director of Digital (managerial); Senior Developer (technical day-to-day)","company":"Worldracinggroup","rawCompany":"worldracinggroup","city":"Concord","state":"NC","isRemote":false,"isActive":false,"createdAt":"2026-07-16T16:13:53.279Z","occupations":[{"code":"15-1254.00","title":"Web Developers","slug":"web-developers"},{"code":"15-1252.00","title":"Software Developers","slug":"software-developers"},{"code":"15-1251.00","title":"Computer Programmers","slug":"computer-programmers"}],"industries":[{"code":"711212","title":"Racetracks","slug":"racetracks"},{"code":"541511","title":"Custom Computer Programming Services","slug":"custom-computer-programming-services"},{"code":"513210","title":"Software Publishers","slug":"software-publishers"}],"jobPosting":{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"JobPosting","title":"Junior Web Developer","description":"World Racing Group runs the World of Outlaws, DIRTcar Racing, and the DIRTVision streaming platform.
