About Thunk

Thunk is a Digital Innovation & AI company based in Kings Cross, London. We work with forward-thinking organisations — from FIFA and Google to the NHS and McDonald''''''''s — to help them discover, prove, and deliver breakthrough digital experiences. We don''''''''t do theory. We deliver impact.

We''''''''re building internal tooling to support our growing content operation, and we need a sharp developer to bring it to life.

The Role

We''''''''re building a fully automated content publishing pipeline that connects Notion (our single source of truth) to WordPress (our publish target). Authors write in Notion automation handles the rest — HTML conversion, image processing, SEO metadata, and publishing — without anyone ever logging into WordPress.

You''''''''ll own the build end-to-end: from WordPress CPT registration to n8n workflow wiring to the Node.js microservice at the heart of the pipeline. A detailed spec covering every phase, field mapping, and edge case is ready and waiting. You''''''''re the person who executes it.

What You''''''''ll Build

Content Publishing Pipeline

• Notion → WordPress one-directional publish flow, triggered by status changes
• Automated handling for three content types: Thinking (articles, videos, whitepapers), Jargon Busters (SEO glossary), and Stories (case studies — manual only)
• Staging and production environment toggle inside n8n

Node.js Microservice

• Notion block → HTML conversion
• Image download from Notion (expiring URLs) and re-upload to WordPress Media Library
• URL swapping in generated HTML
• Slug-based deduplication via WordPress REST API (resilient to partial failures)

n8n Workflow Automation

• Self-hosted on a Hetzner VPS
• Watches Notion for status changes, orchestrates the full pipeline
• Optional cross-posting to Medium and Dev.to with canonical URLs
• Manual-assist LinkedIn flow: generates a Todoist task with everything needed to paste and publish
• Error handling writes back to Notion (status + error message) so the team sees failures without touching n8n

WordPress Configuration

• Custom Post Type registration
• ACF Pro field groups for all content types
• RankMath Free SEO/OG metadata — written via REST API
• Related terms (Jargon Busters) stored as slugs in Notion, resolved to WP Post IDs at publish time

Compensation

$4,000 per month

Remote (overlap with UK hours preferred)

Stack

Node.js, WordPress REST API, n8n, Notion API

Must-Have Skills

What We''''''''re Looking For

• Node.js — comfortable building and maintaining microservices
• WordPress REST API — field mapping, CPT registration, ACF, RankMath
• n8n — workflow building, error handling, multi-environment config
• Notion API — reading databases, writing back status and metadata
• REST API integrations — Medium, Dev.to, Todoist
• 6–8 years of professional development experience

Nice to Have

• Experience with self-hosted infrastructure (Hetzner, Linux VPS)
• Familiarity with ACF Pro and RankMath via API
• Prior work on content or publishing automation systems

How You Work

• You read a spec and execute it — you don''''''''t need to be handheld
• You write clean, maintainable code and document what matters
• You flag blockers early and communicate clearly
• You care about reliability — this pipeline will run unattended in production

How The Build Is Sequenced

We have a phased approach to de-risk the build and validate the full pipeline early:

• Phase 1 — WordPress setup: CPT registration, ACF field groups, RankMath config
• Phase 2 — Notion database setup: schemas, field mapping, status conventions
• Phase 3 — Node.js microservice: conversion, image handling, slug deduplication
• Phase 4 — Jargon Busters pipeline: simpler content type, validates end-to-end flow
• Phase 5 — Thinking pipeline: full content type with cross-posting to Medium and Dev.to
• Phase 6 — LinkedIn manual-assist flow and polish
