• Support reputed company development and optimization

• Improve site speed via caching, lazy loading, and optimized code

• Configure complex hosting setups, load balancers, and Git-based version control

• Integrate third-party APIs and dynamic content

• Translate project briefs into development roadmaps and deliverables

• Coordinate with internal teams and plugin/theme developers when needed

Requirements

• 3+ years of hands-on WordPress development experience

• Strong skills in HTML, CSS, PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, and related toolkits

• Experience working with REST APIs (advantage)

• Familiarity with Git workflows and version control (advantage)

• Understanding of cross-browser compatibility and responsive design

• Ability to plan structured, scalable builds and follow through independently

• Excellent communication and fluent written English

• Experience working remotely and managing tasks asynchronously

• Familiarity with page builders like Elementor (advantage)

• Experience with affiliate marketing tools or link tracking (advantage)

Additional Bonus Points If You Have:
• Prior work developing listing-based, comparison, or directory-style websites

• Comfort working with structured content, advanced filtering, and UX-driven data presentation

• Experience creating CMS-driven experiences tailored for performance and scalability

Benefits

• Fully remote or hybrid work (NYC-based optional)

• Flexible working hours and project scope

• Competitive rates, defined individually per project and experience level

• Opportunity to work on technically challenging, high-visibility builds with a skilled and collaborative team
