Candidate's Portrait
We're looking for a senior WordPress developer who treats WordPress as a serious engineering platform, not a theme-and-plugins shortcut. You'll build and scale a portfolio of high-traffic, multilingual sites that support our international events and media business. You'll care about architecture, performance, and security as much as shipping features. If you write code that other developers are glad to inherit, and you think about how each block, plugin, and API fits the bigger picture, we want to hear from you.
Must-haves
5+ years of proven work experience as a WordPress Developer in Object Oriented PHP (8.x, namespaces, PSR-4, Composer)
Deep knowledge of the WP core APIs: hooks, custom post types and taxonomies, meta and custom fields (ACF Pro and native), and WP_Query
Strong modern JavaScript (ES6+), plus build tooling (webpack/Vite) and modern CSS (Sass or PostCSS; Tailwind is a plus)
Experience designing and building RESTful APIs, including custom WP REST endpoints
Solid grasp of WordPress security (escaping, sanitization, nonces, capabilities) and performance (object caching, query optimization)
Comfortable with Git-based workflows, pull requests, and CI/CD pipelines
Comfortable working in an AI-assisted workflow (e.g. Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor), with the judgment to review, verify, and take ownership of generated code
Good written and spoken English
Nice-to-have
Block themes, FSE, theme.json, and the Interactivity API
Experience with Bedrock or similar Composer-based WordPress project structures
Automated testing and static analysis: PHPUnit, Playwright, PHPStan, PHPCS/WPCS
Templating engines or frameworks: Timber/Twig, Blade
Multisite and multilingual setups (WPML, Polylang, or similar)
Headless WordPress (WPGraphQL, Next.js)
Accessibility (WCAG 2.2) and technical SEO
