WordPress Engineer

We are looking for a skilled WordPress Engineer to join our Engineering team. As a key member of our team, you will be responsible for ensuring our websites, web-services, and back-office tools work and perform as needed, meeting our quality and performance standards, and best practices.

Your primary focus will be on implementing and maintaining WP Media's services for internal and external users, delivering the marketing and product visions by contributing to features related to user journey, payment systems, data pipelines, and back-office processes.

Our stack is mainly composed of PHP (WordPress), Python (Django), and JavaScript. While previous experiences with WordPress, PHP, and JavaScript are required, knowledge of Python and Django is appreciated but not required.

As a WordPress Engineer, you will:

• Maintain and continuously improve high-traffic web applications and WordPress websites.
• Seek opportunities to make our web stack run faster, be easier to maintain, and be more reliable, robust, and scalable.
• Prioritize solutions with the team and then develop and deploy them.
• Be a key asset for our Product, Marketing, and Support teams, developing and maintaining the tools and data they need to make our business grow and provide an outstanding experience for our customers.
• Contribute to groomings, reviews, process improvements, and technical decisions as a member of the Engineering Service team.

We are looking for a passionate and humble software engineer who is friendly, collaborative, and supportive. You should consider how your work impacts others, value personal growth and constructive feedback, and be comfortable writing, speaking, and listening in English with technical and non-technical teammates.

At WP Media, one of our values is 'user first.' We do what is best for them and work to offer them an exceptional experience with our products. You should be a skilled WordPress Developer who already released and maintained WordPress websites, know how to integrate third-party tools, test, validate, and monitor the code you produce, and be willing to own your developments and drive continuous improvement.

We are an equal opportunity employer with a distributed team of +40 teammates living around the world. We care about the work you do, not about the hours you sit at your desk. We offer a budget for setting up your home office, a monthly budget for your remote-work expenses, and an annual trip with the whole team.

We are looking for someone who shares our values of mutual respect, collaboration, and inclusivity, and who is willing to learn and grow with us.
