📋 Description

• Develop and maintain high-performance, custom WordPress solutions (themes, plugins, and integrations) — no reliance on third-party builders — following solid plugin architecture with hooks, actions, and filters. • Design and implement secure, scalable plugins that integrate with external APIs in real time, applying best practices around sanitization, capability checks, and reusable OOP/SOLID-based architecture. • Implement headless architectures, connecting WordPress backends with React frontends via GraphQL or REST APIs, with a focus on SEO, content preview, and editor experience for content teams. • Collaborate with engineers, designers, and product teams to optimize homepages and localized landing pages across 90+ locales, ensuring performance, reliability, and observability. • Build reusable, modular PHP code and ensure scalability, reliability, and security, leveraging tools like PHPStan/PHPCS, unit tests, and CI workflows where appropriate. • Contribute to modernization efforts, gradually integrating React components and supporting migration toward Java/Python-based services, including testing strategies (for example, Jest on the frontend). • Troubleshoot, profile, and continuously enhance system performance using tools such as Query Monitor, New Relic, Datadog, and Redis-based caching. • Work in containerized environments (Docker) and Linux/Unix-based systems, using the command line for day-to-day development, debugging, and deployments. • Leverage WP-CLI for custom commands and efficient management of themes, plugins, and WordPress maintenance tasks. • Participate in code reviews and knowledge-sharing within a globally distributed engineering team.

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years of experience developing advanced WordPress applications (custom plugins, themes, APIs) in production environments. • Strong proficiency in PHP and WordPress Core, including performance optimization, multisite management, and solid understanding of plugin structure, hooks, actions, and filters. • Experience integrating React with WordPress (headless setups, Next.js, or similar), including managing data exchange through REST or GraphQL, and handling SEO, content preview, and editor experience. • Significant experience working in containerized application environments , including configuring and maintaining images and multi‑service setups for web applications, rather than only running pre‑packaged containers. • Strong command of Unix-like operating systems as a daily working environment, including process and service lifecycle management, system‑level troubleshooting, and dealing with permission- and network-related issues in real projects. • Comfortable investigating runtime issues that span application, operating system, and network layers, using standard command‑line tooling and logs, not just IDE-level debuggers. • Used to aligning local development environments with production‑like setups (multiple services, shared resources, environment-specific configuration) instead of relying on simplistic single-service stacks. • Day‑to‑day development performed on a modern desktop Unix environment (e.g. MacOS), using a terminal‑centric toolchain, version control, and container tooling as part of the standard workflow. • Proven experience designing secure, scalable integrations with external APIs, including use of sanitization, nonces, capability checks, and caching patterns (for example, Transients, WP_Object_Cache). • Solid understanding of GraphQL and frontend best practices, including collaboration with frontend teams and familiarity with testing approaches (for example, Jest for React components). • Hands-on experience with quality and productivity tools such as PHPStan, PHPCS, and unit testing frameworks, plus comfort working with CI/CD workflows. • Practical experience with WP-CLI for custom commands and administration of themes and plugins. • Working knowledge of performance profiling and monitoring tools (for example, Query Monitor, New Relic, Datadog) and caching strategies, ideally including Redis. • Basic exposure to Java or Python, or a strong willingness to learn these stacks as part of the platform’s ongoing modernization. • Excellent debugging, problem-solving, and communication skills. • Fluent English (B2+ minimum) — able to collaborate effectively with international teams.
