This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys both day-to-day upkeep and building new functionality.

-   Manage updates to WordPress core, themes, and plugins, ensuring compatibility and stability.
-   Implement and maintain security best practices, backups, and recovery procedures.
-   Integrate third-party services and APIs (payment gateways, shipping, CRM, analytics, marketing tools).
-   Collaborate with designers and content teams to implement layouts, landing pages, and campaigns.
-   Ensure responsive, cross-browser, and mobile-friendly experiences.
-   Maintain SEO-friendly, well-structured, and documented code.
-   Set up and manage staging environments, version control, and safe deployment workflows.

## Requirements

-   2–4 years of professional WordPress development experience.
-   Strong proficiency in PHP, HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and MySQL.
-   Hands-on experience with WooCommerce and e-commerce workflows (checkout, payments, orders, inventory).
-   Experience building and customizing custom themes and plugins (not just page builders).
-   Familiarity with REST APIs and third-party integrations.
-   Understanding of website security, performance optimization, and caching.
-   Experience with Git and standard deployment practices.
-   Working knowledge of responsive design and cross-browser compatibility.
-   Good problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
-   Solid written and verbal communication in English

### Nice to Have

-   Experience with headless WordPress or modern JS frameworks (React, Vue).
-   Familiarity with SEO principles and tools.
-   Experience with page builders (Elementor, WPBakery) and ACF.
-   Basic server administration and hosting management (cPanel, Nginx/Apache, CDN).
-   UI/UX sensibility and basic design skills.

## Benefits

-   Competitive remuneration package adjusted to proven skills and experience;
-   Excellent working conditions;
