We are looking for a WordPress Product Developer with 2 - 4 years’ experience to join our GiveWP team. Someone who is excited to learn and has a passion for WordPress, who knows how quality themes and plugins are built and have built a few themselves.

This position requires experience going beyond building websites into building web applications. You would be working in a complex application that spans dozens of add-ons which do everything from integrating with 3rd party services, to processing money through gateways, and improving the base product with exciting new features. GiveWP has a core plugin that is constantly growing and improving, so this requires thinking about how to create a core product that is extensible. This requires a strong understanding of application architecture, OOP PHP skills, and JS + React skills. We push the boundaries of modern WordPress architecture, so if you feel ready to jump into this and hit the ground running, then we’re looking for you!

As a WordPress Product Developer you would:

• Develop new software solutions and maintain existing applications
• Work with stakeholders to understand requirements and objectives
• Work in teams of 2-3 with project specifications and execute as a team
• Create, review, and update technical documentation
• Collaborate with the team to explore individual and product growth opportunities
• Write unit and integration tests to validate code function
• Execute bug fixes with long-term prevention in mind
• Measure results of implemented solutions
• Participate in troubleshooting/triaging of issues and document them appropriately
  
  

You Have:

• 2+ years experience building custom WordPress solutions
• Skilled at crafting modern PHP (ex: autoloading, dependency management, dependency injection, templating libraries, automated testing, OOP, and/or frameworks like Symfony or Laravel, etc.)
• Mid-level vanilla JavaScript + React experience
• Thorough knowledge of MySQL
• Basic knowledge of the product development life cycle
• Exceptional organizational and communication skills
• Exceptional HTML & CSS (including experience with PostCSS or Sass and BEM) skills
• A passion for improving software/systems
• Ability to work remotely with little-to-no supervision
  
  

Bonus Points for:

• Advanced JS knowledge (state management, testing, async operations, etc.)
• Experience with developing blocks for the Block Editor
• Experience with continuous integration and automated deployment pipelines
• Experience with JS application frameworks
• Experience with server technologies like Redis or Elasticsearch
• Experience building sites that are accessible (you’ve worked with WAI-ARIA and done WCAG 2.0+ AA/Section 508 work) and performant (working knowledge of best practices)
