• Architect bespoke, high-performance WordPress themes, plugins and solutions optimized for the WPVIP platform. • Write clean, modular PHP (8.x) using OOP and SOLID principles to ensure code is maintainable and VIP-standard compliant. • Drive collaboration efforts with stakeholders using BDD (Behavior-Driven Development) to create a shared understanding. • Implement and advocate for ATDD (Acceptance Test-Driven Development) and TDD (Test-Driven Development) practices to ensure an executable understanding of the intended behavior that will drive development. • Own and optimize Continuous Delivery pipelines using VIP-CLI and GitHub Actions, ensuring every commit is 'deploy-ready' through automated linting, unit testing, and integration tests. • Act as a servant leader by removing technical blockers and facilitating pair programming to socialize testing best practices across the team. • Proactively identify technical debt and platform risks, taking the initiative to refactor code for better testability and performance.

🎯 Requirements

• 7+ years of professional PHP experience, with deep expertise in the WordPress VIP ecosystem. • Proven experience with testing frameworks (e.g., PHPUnit, Playwright, Behat, or Cypress) and a commitment to TDD/BDD workflows. • Expert knowledge of modern Continuous Delivery practices and WPVIP-specific deployment constraints. • Strong command of React (Gutenberg), ES6+, and REST/GraphQL API integration. • Extensive experience with tools such as PHPCS, New Relic, Query Monitor, WPScan and K6/WebPageTest. • BDD, ATDD, TDD and CI/CD. • WPVIP architecture and high-scale PHP. • Empowering others through mentorship and knowledge sharing. • A self-starter who defines 'done' as tested, documented, and deployed.
