About the Role
We are looking for a motivated and detail-oriented WordPress Developer to join our development team. This role is ideal for someone with strong hands-on expertise in WordPress backend development — including custom theme development, plugin customization, and PHP-based solutions — who is comfortable owning the ongoing health and performance of live client websites.
The primary focus of this role is website maintenance. The majority of day-to-day work involves managing and supporting a portfolio of live WordPress sites — keeping them healthy, performant, and secure. In addition, you will take on ad hoc development tasks and project-based work as assigned. The ideal candidate is technically strong, process-oriented, and capable of working independently across multiple concurrent client sites.
Key Responsibilities
1. WordPress Site Maintenance
Own the ongoing health of a portfolio of live client websites.
Perform routine core, plugin, and theme updates across all managed sites.
Monitor uptime, manage environments, and proactively identify issues before they escalate.
2. Bug Fixing & Troubleshooting
Diagnose and resolve backend issues, plugin conflicts, PHP errors, and performance bottlenecks.
Work across staging and production environments with minimal turnaround time.
Provide clear documentation of issues identified and resolutions applied.
3. Security & Performance Optimization
Implement and enforce security best practices across all client sites.
Conduct performance audits and optimize load times.
Apply caching strategies and database optimization techniques as required.
4. Custom Theme & Plugin Development
Build and customize WordPress themes and plugins using PHP, hooks, filters, and actions.
Write clean, well-documented, and standards-compliant code for both new builds and existing sites.
Implement customizations based on requirements received from PMs or delivery leads.
5. Third-Party Integrations
Integrate REST APIs, payment gateways, CRMs, and third-party services into WordPress environments.
Troubleshoot and maintain existing integrations as part of ongoing site management.
6. WooCommerce Support
Support WooCommerce-based client sites including product configuration, checkout customization, and order management troubleshooting.
Manage plugin compatibility and flag issues proactively.
7. Documentation & Task Management
Maintain clear documentation for all maintenance activities, custom code, and site-specific configurations.
Track tasks and progress in the team's project management tool (Orbit).
8. AI & Development Assistance
Utilize AI-assisted tools such as ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, or similar platforms to accelerate development, improve debugging efficiency, and support documentation.
Explore productivity tools to enhance coding efficiency and workflow management.
Desired Skills & Experience
4–5 years of hands-on experience in WordPress backend development.
Strong command of PHP and WordPress core — hooks, filters, actions, and custom post types.
Proven experience in custom theme and plugin development.
Experience managing live WordPress sites including updates, security, and performance monitoring.
Solid understanding of MySQL and database management.
Knowledge of REST API integration within WordPress environments.
Proficiency with Git version control and structured deployment workflows.
Experience with HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript/jQuery for frontend implementation support.
Familiarity with WooCommerce and page builders such as Elementor.
Knowledge of hosting environments, staging setups, and server configurations.
Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple sites and tasks simultaneously.
Nice to Have
Experience managing a portfolio of maintenance retainer sites in an agency environment.
Familiarity with WordPress multisite configuration and management.
Exposure to caching tools such as WP Rocket, or similar.
Understanding of SEO fundamentals and technical SEO best practices.
Comfort working across multiple concurrent client projects with shifting priorities.
