Job Description

About the Role:

We are looking for a WordPress Engineer to manage and evolve our WordPress infrastructure. You will be responsible for backend development, optimization, custom plugin and theme creation, and system-level integration. While a dedicated design team handles page-building and UI, your role focuses on performance, structure, and backend logic. Experience with frontend frameworks and some exposure to Express.js is desirable.


Key Responsibilities:

 Build and maintain secure, scalable, and high-performance WordPress sites.

 Develop and customize themes and plugins to meet business needs.

 Implement and manage advanced form functionality and integrations.

 Optimize site performance (database queries, caching, asset delivery, etc.).

 Ensure code quality, reusability, and proper documentation.

 Support the design team by enabling backend functionalities for pages they build.

 Integrate third-party APIs and Express.js-based services where needed.

 Manage site deployments, staging environments, and production releases.

 Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues across plugins, integrations, and code.


Core Skills & Experience:

 Deep expertise in WordPress backend development, hooks, filters, and architecture.

 Strong experience with custom plugin and theme development.

 Solid understanding of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and jQuery.

 Hands-on experience with Bootstrap and frontend frameworks.

 Familiar with page builders like Elementor or WP Bakery (for integration purposes).

 Experience with form tools (HubSpot Forms, WP Forms, Contact Form 7, etc.).

 Experience with REST API, AJAX, and JSON.

 Competent with Git and structured deployment processes.


Nice to Have:

 Basic DevOps knowledge (e.g., CI/CD, server tuning, cloud hosting).

 Knowledge of WordPress security best practices.

 Experience with headless or decoupled WordPress environments.

 SEO integration (technical level only, not content).

 Familiarity with basic Express.js and backend API consumption.`


Qualifications:

 Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related discipline (or equivalent practical experience).

 2–5 years of experience as a WordPress Engineer or similar technical role.
