We’re building a flexible WordPress framework to spin up beautiful, modular websites—leveraging custom content modules alongside native Gutenberg blocks. As a Mid-Level WordPress Developer, you’ll turn designs and IA blueprints into robust, maintainable solutions: from custom Gutenberg blocks and ACF integrations to plugins and themes.

Responsibilities:

  • Architect, build, and maintain custom Gutenberg blocks using React and the WordPress Block API.
  • Develop ACF-powered block types and integrate them seamlessly into our block library.
  • Create custom plugins to extend WordPress core functionality, adhering to best practices and security standards.
  • Build and customize WordPress themes—ensuring responsive, performant, and accessible front-end implementations.
  • Collaborate with designers, content strategists, and DevOps to translate IA and wireframes into working code.
  • Manage code in Git repositories, participate in code reviews, branch strategies, and resolve merge conflicts.
  • Troubleshoot and optimize WordPress performance, including PHP, JS, and database layers.
  • Document code, block patterns, and deployment processes for team use.
Requirements
  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science or related field.
  • 3 years of professional WordPress development experience.
  • Proven experience creating custom Gutenberg blocks with React.
  • Hands-on experience building ACF block types.
  • Strong proficiency with Git version control in a team environment.
  • Experience developing custom WordPress plugins and themes from the ground up.
  • Solid understanding of PHP, JavaScript (ES6+), HTML5, and CSS3.
  • Familiarity with REST APIs and integrating third-party services.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to maintainable, well-documented code.

Nice-to-Haves

  • Experience working with Bootstrap or other CSS frameworks.
  • Familiarity with Web Components (Stencil, LitElement, etc.).
  • Prior work integrating third-party APIs (payment gateways, CRM, analytics).
