In this role, you’ll work on both new builds and existing properties, including the development of feature-rich, fast-loading websites.

Optimize websites for performance, Web Core Vitals, and mobile responsiveness
Manage and monitor bug tracking, QA, and ongoing maintenance
Implement both backend and frontend features to spec
Support WooCommerce development and optimization
Improve site speed via caching, lazy loading, and optimized code
Configure complex hosting setups, load balancers, and Git-based version control
Integrate third-party APIs and dynamic content
Translate project briefs into development roadmaps and deliverables
Coordinate with internal teams and plugin/theme developers when needed
Requirements
3+ years of hands-on WordPress development experience
Strong skills in HTML, CSS, PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, and related toolkits
Experience working with REST APIs (advantage)
Familiarity with Git workflows and version control (advantage)
Understanding of cross-browser compatibility and responsive design
Ability to plan structured, scalable builds and follow through independently
Excellent communication and fluent written English
Experience working remotely and managing tasks asynchronously
Familiarity with page builders like Elementor (advantage)
Experience with affiliate marketing tools or link tracking (advantage)
Additional Bonus Points If You Have:
Prior work developing listing-based, comparison, or directory-style websites
Comfort working with structured content, advanced filtering, and UX-driven data presentation
Experience creating CMS-driven experiences tailored for performance and scalability
Benefits
Fully remote or hybrid work (NYC-based optional)
Flexible working hours and project scope
Competitive rates, defined individually per project and experience level
Opportunity to work on technically challenging, high-visibility builds with a skilled and collaborative team
