Senior WordPress Developer

We are seeking a Senior WordPress Plugin & Theme Developer to own our custom WordPress engineering. This role is not about page-building or design — it's about writing code and building plugins/themes from scratch.

Day-to-day, you'll build everything from lightweight feature plugins that add specific site functionality to larger, scalable plugins/themes architected for long-term use. You should also have the skills (or willingness to learn quickly) to work with e-commerce platforms built on WordPress, extending or customizing them to deliver advanced commerce features.

In addition, you'll handle technical WordPress support tickets — debugging, troubleshooting, and resolving backend issues — but not design or cosmetic edits.

This is a remote role, open to international candidates, supporting a US-based company.
