Senior WordPress Engineer
Full-time Remote (Africa / UK)
You'll lead the engineering of platforms that handle real users, real transactions, and real workloads. Not brochure sites — systems people depend on. You'll own architecture decisions, set the bar on code quality, and work closely with design and strategy from day one.
01
What you'll do
- Architect and build custom WordPress platforms — LMS, membership, eCommerce, editorial.
- Write custom plugins and themes from scratch — no page builders, no bloat.
- Own performance, security, and reliability across the platforms you ship.
- Pair with designers early so what gets built is actually what was designed.
- Mentor newer engineers and shape how we build going forward.
02
Who you are
- 4+ years building production WordPress at platform scale (not just sites).
- Strong PHP, MySQL, and modern JavaScript. Comfortable in the WP REST API and block editor internals.
- You think in systems — data models, caching, queues, edge cases.
- You write clean, readable code and care about the person who reads it next.
03
Nice to have
- Experience with LearnDash, MemberPress, WooCommerce at scale.
- DevOps comfort — Cloudways, server tuning, CI/CD.
- Past work as a tech lead or solo platform owner.
