    • Manage and audit plugins for security, compatibility, and performance.
    • Support the editorial team with CMS tooling and workflow improvements.
  • Performance & Quality
    • Optimize site speed, Core Web Vitals, and SEO-technical foundations.
    • Implement A/B testing and conversion rate optimization experiments.
    • Maintain staging environments and enforce a reliable deployment pipeline.
    • Write clean, documented, testable code and participate in code reviews.
  • Collaboration & Strategy
    • Partner with design to translate Figma mockups into pixel-perfect, responsive builds.
    • Work with marketing on campaign landing pages, product launches, and promotional mechanics.
    • Contribute to architectural decisions, platform roadmap, and technology selection.

Qualifications

  • 4+ years of professional WordPress development experience.
  • 3+ years of WooCommerce development, including custom plugin and extension development.
  • Strong proficiency in PHP, JavaScript (ES6+), HTML5, and CSS3/SCSS.
  • Experience with REST APIs, webhooks, and third-party integrations.
  • Familiarity with WordPress multisite, staging environments, and CI/CD workflows.
  • Solid understanding of e-commerce UX principles and checkout optimization.
  • Experience with version control (Git) and collaborative development workflows.
  • Ability to work independently in a fast-moving, mission-driven startup environment.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with headless WordPress or block-based (FSE) theme development.
  • Familiarity with WooCommerce Subscriptions, Bookings, or similar extensions.
  • Experience with performance tooling: Lighthouse, GTmetrix, caching layers (Redis, Varnish).
  • Background in DTC e-commerce, healthcare, or wellness verticals.
  • Working knowledge of React or Vue.js for Gutenberg or front-end enhancements.
  • Exposure to Google Analytics 4, Tag Manager, and conversion tracking.

Benefits
