Job Brief:

We're looking for an experienced WordPress developer to provide ongoing development coverage and support a content-rich marketing site built on a custom PHP theme and hosted on WP Engine.

You'll need to work independently and communicate clearly with nontechnical stakeholders.

Work within a Git and GitHub pull-request workflow, and help establish or improve version control and deployment practices where needed

Keep the site's PHP version and dependencies current and supported on WPEngine

Document fixes, processes, and site architecture so knowledge isn't lost

Requirements:

5+ years of professional WordPress development experience, with a focus on custom themes rather than page builders

Strong proficiency in PHP, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript

Deep experience with ACF, custom post types, taxonomies, and WordPress template hierarchy

Experience maintaining and troubleshooting production WordPress sites, including plugin conflicts, updates, and security hardening

Hands-on experience with WPEngine or a similar managed WordPress host

Comfort working in Git and GitHub with a pull-request-based workflow

Working experience with Next.js and React, enough to maintain and troubleshoot an existing application

Strong written communication and the ability to work independently with minimal oversight Nice to have

Experience with CI/CD deployments (e.g., GitHub Actions to WPEngine)

Technical SEO experience, such as structured data, redirects, sitemaps, and site performance (Core Web Vitals)
