We are looking for a talented and experienced WordPress Developer to join our team. You will design, develop, customize, and maintain high-quality WordPress websites and web applications. This role involves both front-end and back-end development, with a focus on creating performant, secure, and user-friendly digital experiences.
You will collaborate closely with designers, project managers, content teams, and clients—translating business requirements into technical solutions while communicating clearly and effectively throughout the project lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop custom WordPress themes and plugins from scratch or customize existing ones to meet project needs.
• Build responsive, accessible, and mobile-first websites using modern standards.
• Optimize website performance, security, SEO, and scalability (including caching, database optimization, and load time improvements).
• Integrate third-party APIs, services, and tools (e.g., payment gateways, CRMs, marketing platforms).
• Troubleshoot, debug, and resolve complex issues on live sites.
• Ensure websites comply with best practices for security, accessibility (WCAG), and coding standards.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to gather requirements, provide technical recommendations, and present solutions.
• Conduct code reviews, mentor junior developers (if applicable), and contribute to improving internal processes.
• Stay up-to-date with WordPress core updates, emerging technologies, and industry trends.

Requirements & Qualifications:

• 2+ years of professional experience in WordPress development (agency, freelance, or in-house environment preferred).
• Strong proficiency in PHP, HTML5, CSS3 (including preprocessors like Sass), JavaScript (ES6+), and jQuery.
• Deep expertise with WordPress: custom theme development (block editor/Gutenberg, classic), plugin development, hooks/actions/filters, and the WP REST API.
• Experience with modern development tools and workflows: Git, Composer, WP-CLI, build tools (Webpack, Vite), and local development environments (e.g., Local by Flywheel, Docker).
• Solid understanding of database management (MySQL), server configurations, and hosting environments.
• Knowledge of performance optimization, security best practices, and SEO fundamentals.

Strong communication skills

• ability to explain technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders, write clear documentation, and collaborate effectively in a team setting.
• Experience working directly with clients or in cross-functional teams is a big plus.
• Portfolio of live WordPress projects demonstrating custom development work.
