• Ensure sites meet performance, accessibility, and SEO standards (Lighthouse, Core Web Vitals).
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams (frontend, DevOps, QA, design) following Agile practices.
• Write clean, well‑documented, and unit‑tested code following OOP principles and WordPress coding standards.

Minimum Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional WordPress development experience, focusing on backend and custom plugin work.

• Proficient in ACF, CPT UI, Gutenberg, and WooCommerce.
• Solid understanding of the WordPress REST API, webhooks, and API integrations.
• Familiarity with version control (Git) and CI/CD pipelines.
