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 the 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 and 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 WPBakery (for integration purposes).
• Experience with form tools (HubSpot Forms, WPForms, 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 in a similar technical role.
