As a WordPress Developer, your prime responsibility is to drive the development of the platform by building infrastructure that enables new features, enhancing existing code, resolving bugs, and ensuring seamless scalability. The role requires you to be hands-on, often owning tasks and projects from conception through to completion. This involves task scoping, development processes, and thorough testing before deployment.
Ideal candidates are self-starters who exhibit initiative and take ownership of their tasks. An excellent communicator, both verbally and in writing, ensures effective collaboration and thorough documentation. A passion for making a significant impact on the web and a commitment to quality work are essential traits for someone in this role. Flexibility in handling both front-end and back-end tasks, as well as a collaborative spirit, help create a supportive and productive environment. Tackling tasks of varying sizes, from small bug fixes to major rewrites, is part of the day-to-day engagement.
You will manage a range of responsibilities including triaging bugs and enhancements in GitHub, developing new features and add-ons, refactoring legacy code to ensure backward compatibility, and providing feedback through peer reviews. Effective communication with team members using chat, audio, and video tools is critical for collaboration and support.
To thrive in this position, substantial experience with WordPress plugin development, architecture, and standards is required. Proficiency in PHP and MySQL, alongside modern PHP practices such as object-oriented programming, is essential. Strong familiarity with JavaScript including ES6 and libraries like jQuery is important. Experience with build tools like gulp and webpack, package managers like Composer and NPM, and working with third-party APIs is also necessary. Version control experience using git and GitHub and the ability to iterate ideas quickly are important. Exceptional troubleshooting skills and the ability to simplify complex ideas are highly valued. Prior freelance or remote work experience is an added advantage.
Additional expertise in advanced JavaScript frameworks such as VueJS or React, experience with e-commerce platforms and related APIs, as well as skills in DevOps or infrastructure management, will be advantageous in this role.
