  • Participate in discovery, technical estimation, solution design, and client-facing technical discussions.
  • Review code and provide technical guidance across front-end and back-end development.
  • Contribute to reusable WordPress standards, patterns, and best practices across projects.
  • Troubleshoot complex production, performance, and architectural issues.
  • Support and mentor other developers and act as a senior technical escalation point.
We're Looking For

  • Experience with hosting platforms such as WordPress VIP, WP Engine, Pantheon, or AWS.
  • Ability to estimate technical work and balance technical quality with project scope and budget.
  • Strong communication skills and confidence in customer-facing technical discussions.
  • A hands-on mindset with the ability to take ownership of complex technical tasks.
