As a WordPress Developer, you're responsible for Making Stuff Go. You'll build and maintain integrations that connect WordPress to hundreds of external services from CRMs and email platforms to payment gateways and social networks. You'll own features from conception to completion, handling scoping, development, and testing.

Day-to-day, you'll:

• Build new Automator integrations (triggers and actions) for third-party plugins and apps
• Scope, develop, and test product enhancements, new product features and product add-ons of all sizes
• Work with support to fix bugs reported by our internal team or by customers
• Refactor legacy code while maintaining backward compatibility
• Review pull requests from teammates and provide constructive feedback (GitHub PRs)
• Jump between front-end and back-end tasks as needed
• Communicate with the team and support your peers using chat, audio, and video

Requirements

You Must Have

• 3+ years of WordPress plugin development   professional experience with plugin architecture and WordPress standards, not just plugin and theme tweaks
• 4+ years of Advanced PHP proficiency   OOP, autoloading, namespacing, traits, interfaces, modern PHP practices. You write classes, not 2000-line functions.php files
• AI-assisted development expertise - you know how to leverage AI to amplify and accelerate your work - not replace your brain
• Third-party API experience   consuming APIs from services like Stripe, Drip, Zapier, Google, MailChimp, etc.
• WordPress hooks mastery   actions, filters, priorities. You know when to use each and why
• Security awareness   escaping, sanitization, nonces, capability checks are second nature

• Claude Code - you're an expert at giving Claude Code the guidance and context necessary to plan and execute a project, resulting in code that is equal in quality to what you could produce yourself, but created in a fraction of the time
• HTML/CSS/SCSS experience   layout, specificity, cross-browser compatibility, accessibility
• JavaScript expertise   vanilla JS, jQuery, ES6, DOM manipulation, async programming, closures, promises, web components, VueJS or React proficiency
