• Develop and maintain cron jobs, background tasks, and data synchronization scripts.
• Build and maintain Gutenberg blocks or React-based admin components when required.
• 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.

• Experience with WordPress hooks (actions & filters), custom queries, and optimization strategies.
• Proficient in ACF, CPT UI, Gutenberg, and WooCommerce.
• Solid understanding of WordPress REST API, webhooks, and API integrations.
• Familiarity with version control (Git) and CI / CD pipelines.
• Experience with performance optimization, caching mechanisms, and scalable WordPress architectures.
