WordPress Developer

You know WordPress inside and out — from Full Site Editing and block themes to performance tuning and security hardening. You care about clean code, fast sites, and clients who actually understand what you built.

WordPress / FSE PHP Gutenberg WooCommerce Performance

About the role

We’re looking for a WordPress Developer who takes pride in shipping clean, fast, accessible websites — and who can hold a conversation with a client about why the decisions they made matter.

You’ll be embedded across a handful of ongoing client relationships, responsible for everything from block theme development and Full Site Editing to plugin configuration, performance audits, and security work. This isn’t a ticket-queue job. You’ll own your workstream and have real input into how things are done.

What you’ll work on

  • Building and maintaining block-based WordPress themes using Full Site Editing
  • WooCommerce store setup, customisation, and ongoing optimisation
  • WordPress migrations, staging environment management, and hosting configuration
  • Security hardening, plugin audits, and performance profiling
  • Collaborating directly with clients to understand requirements and explain technical decisions clearly

What we’re looking for

  • Solid PHP fundamentals and a real understanding of how WordPress works under the hood
  • Experience with Gutenberg / Full Site Editing — not just using it, building with it
  • Comfort working with WooCommerce at a customisation level (custom post types, hooks, REST API)
  • Strong instincts around performance: you know what kills Core Web Vitals and how to fix it
  • A clear, direct communication style — you can explain a technical decision to a non-technical client without talking down to them

Nice to have

  • Experience with headless WordPress or Astro-based hybrid setups
  • Familiarity with Cloudflare, WP Engine, or similar managed hosting environments
  • Any accessibility experience (WCAG 2.1+)

How we work

Fully remote, async-first. We use Notion for documentation, Linear for tasks, and Slack for communication. Client calls are usually weekly or fortnightly. You’ll have direct access to clients — no account manager sitting in between.

We’re a small team so your voice matters in how we build things. If you think something should be done differently, say so.

Sound like you?

We'd love to hear from you. Applications are reviewed personally — no ATS, no auto-rejections.
