Job Opportunities

Word Press Developer

Looking for an experienced WordPress / PHP Developer with at least 2 years of hands-on experience to manage, maintain, and optimize our custom-built WordPress website. Because our site is custom-developed (not built using generic drag-and-drop page builders), the candidate must possess strong core PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, and custom WordPress theme and plugin development skills. The candidate will be responsible for both back-end and front-end development, ensuring high performance, security, availability, and seamless UI/UX.

Key Responsibilities
1. Site Maintenance & Custom Development
Manage, maintain, and enhance our custom-coded WordPress theme and custom plugins.
Write clean, well-documented, and efficient PHP, HTML5, CSS3/SASS, and JavaScript code.

Ensure code quality and consistency across all site templates and modules.
2. Performance & Speed Optimization
Monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize website loading speeds (Core Web Vitals, GTmetrix, PageSpeed Insights).
Implement and manage database optimization, object caching (Redis/Memcached), and server-level caching.
Diagnose and resolve bottle-necks in database queries and PHP execution.
3. Security, Updates & Compliance
Perform regular, safe core updates, plugin audits, and custom code refactoring.
Implement robust security best practices (firewalls, malware scanning, hardening WP installations, input sanitization).
Manage daily/weekly automated backups and maintain a working staging environment for testing changes before pushing live.
4. API Integration & Database Management
Create, consume, and integrate RESTful APIs and 3rd-party services (e.g., CRM systems, payment gateways, marketing tools).
Manage MySQL database structures, write custom SQL queries where needed, and ensure data integrity.
5. Collaboration & UI/UX Support
Work alongside marketing, design, and content teams to build landing pages, custom layouts, and interactive elements.
Ensure cross-browser compatibility and seamless responsiveness across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
