Role Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior WordPress Developer with a deep understanding of the WordPress ecosystem and robust PHP backend development skills. With 6–9 years of professional experience, you will be responsible for leading the development of complex, high-performance websites, creating custom plugins, and architecting scalable themes. The ideal candidate is someone who bridges the gap between sophisticated backend logic and seamless frontend experiences.

Key Responsibilities

Backend Engineering: Write clean, scalable, and well-documented PHP code. Manage database migrations, custom post types, and REST API integrations.
Performance Optimization: Audit and optimize website speed, Core Web Vitals, and server-side performance.
Architecture: Lead the architectural decisions for large-scale WordPress installations, including multisite setups and headless WordPress (Decoupled) environments.
Security: Implement industry-standard security protocols to protect against vulnerabilities and manage regular maintenance/updates.
Integration: Connect WordPress with third-party APIs, CRM systems (Salesforce, HubSpot), and E-commerce platforms (WooCommerce).
Code Review & Mentorship: Conduct code reviews for junior developers and ensure the team adheres to WordPress Coding Standards.
Team Handling Experience: Experience leading a team of at least 3–5 developers.

Technical Requirements

WordPress Expertise: Advanced knowledge of Hooks (Actions/Filters), the Plugin API, and the WordPress Database Schema.
PHP Mastery: Strong proficiency in PHP (7.4/8.x) and an understanding of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) principles.
Frontend Stack: Proficiency in HTML5, CSS3/SASS, and JavaScript (Vanilla, jQuery, and ideally React for Gutenberg block development).
Database: Experience with MySQL/MariaDB, including writing complex queries and optimization.
Tools & Workflow: Mastery of Git/GitHub, Composer, and local development environments (e.g., Local WP, Docker, or Valet).
E-commerce: Extensive experience customizing WooCommerce (checkout flows, custom product types, and payment gateways).
Deployment: Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and managing hosting environments (WP Engine, Kinsta, AWS, or DigitalOcean).
