Job Summary

We are looking for an experienced Word Press Full-Stack Developer to develop, maintain, and support custom Word Press websites.

This is primarily a development-focused role. You will work with designs provided by our design team and turn them into responsive, polished, and reliable Word Press websites.

The ideal candidate is a strong developer who also has a good eye for design, layout, typography, and color composition. You should be comfortable making minor visual and UX adjustments independently when needed, without requiring a designer for every small change.

We are looking for someone who understands Word Press beyond page builders and pre-built themes and is comfortable working directly with PHP, HTML, CSS, Java Script, custom themes, and custom plugins.

Responsibilities

- Develop responsive Word Press websites from provided Figma designs.
- Build, modify, and maintain custom Word Press themes.
- Develop, modify, and troubleshoot custom Word Press plugins.
- Write clean and maintainable PHP, HTML5, CSS, and Java Script.
- Accurately translate designs into polished, responsive web interfaces.
- Make sensible minor design adjustments involving spacing, layout, typography, colors, and responsive behaviour when required.
- Work with Word Press hooks, actions, filters, custom post types, taxonomies, metadata, and custom fields.
- Work with ACF and other commonly used Word Press development tools.
- Maintain and support existing custom-developed Word Press websites.
- Troubleshoot PHP, Java Script, CSS, database, theme, and plugin issues.
- Perform Word Press core, theme,



and plugin updates and resolve compatibility issues.
- Optimize websites for performance, responsiveness, SEO, and accessibility.
- Work with forms, AJAX, REST APIs, and third-party integrations when required.
- Perform website migrations, backups, restores, and staging-to-production updates.
- Manage Word Press websites through cPanel, including files, databases, PHP settings, SSL, redirects, and cron jobs.
- Use WP-CLI and basic SSH commands when needed.

Required Qualifications

- 3+ years of professional Word Press development experience.
- Strong PHP development skills.
- Excellent knowledge of HTML5 and CSS3.
- Strong practical knowledge of Java Script.
- Proven experience developing and maintaining custom Word Press themes and plugins.
- Solid understanding of Word Press architecture, templates, hooks, and APIs.
- Ability to accurately implement responsive websites from Figma designs.
- Strong visual judgment and attention to detail, particularly around layout, spacing, typography, and color.
- Ability to make minor design decisions and improvements independently while remaining consistent with the established visual style.
- Experience with MySQL/MariaDB.




- Experience managing Word Press websites through cPanel.
- Strong troubleshooting and debugging skills.
- Understanding of responsive design, browser compatibility, website performance, SEO, and accessibility.
- Ability to independently understand and modify an existing Word Press codebase.
- Familiarity with Docker and a practical understanding of containerized local development environments is a strong asset.

Preferred Experience

- Custom Elementor widgets
- REST API integrations
- Advanced Custom Fields (ACF)
- Woo Commerce
- WP-CLI
- SCSS/SASS
- Basic Linux/SSH

Who We're Looking For

You should be comfortable receiving a completed design and independently turning it into a polished, production-ready Word Press website.

You should have enough visual judgment to recognize when something doesn't look right and make reasonable adjustments without requiring detailed direction for every spacing, sizing, color, or responsive-design decision.

You should also be able to open an unfamiliar custom theme or plugin, understand how it works, troubleshoot problems, and make changes without rebuilding everything from scratch.

This is not a page-builder position.
