Part-Time/Freelance FullStack WordPress Developer

Job Description

Full Stack WordPress Developer Role

Solve complex problems while collaborating with an awesome development team working on innovative and large-scale WordPress installations.

We are also looking for a developer who has worked with WordPress Gutenberg block system, templates, and custom plugins. We want someone who can dive into both the front-end composition of a WordPress site and take it to the next level while handling the back-end.

A strong knowledge of WordPress plugin architecture and how WordPress organizes data is preferred. The ideal candidate can also find a needle in a haystack and be able to follow processes when troubleshooting website issues. You know when to check the error logs and when to check the Git repos for uncommitted changes.

Ways you work:

You should have a desire to work behind the scenes with a team to get things done. You like to see a large project through from start to finish. You need to be up to speed and knowledgeable about the most recent releases and standards of WordPress.

You also take pride in how you communicate with others. You can explain a technical issue or function in a way that someone who isn’t a developer can digest. You recognize the importance of asking for help and having code reviews, both to help yourself and others on the team.

We want you to be as excited and as passionate as we are about what we are creating with the platform.

NO AGENCIES!
ALL CANDIDATES MUST BE A RESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
