  • 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.

  • 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;
  • Exposure to training and professional development capabilities, including the ability to engage in cutting-edge research;
