Job description

About the Role

We are hiring a front-end WordPress developer. This is a remote contractor position to start, with potential for a long-term ongoing role based on fit and performance.

We prefer candidates based in LATAM for timezone alignment. You’ll work directly with our small team on new builds, maintenance, and optimizations, always balancing conversion-first principles with good user experience (UX).

We are looking for someone who is resourceful, self-directed, and thinks critically — not just someone who executes tasks, but someone who makes good decisions and brings ideas forward.

Responsibilities

• Build custom WordPress themes and templates (no page builders unless necessary)
• Prioritize conversion best practices (clear CTAs, fast load times, mobile-first) while keeping clean, simple UX
• Work with ACF (Advanced Custom Fields), WooCommerce, and Elementor (if required)
• Optimize sites for speed, responsiveness, and engagement
• Follow best practices for SEO, accessibility, and mobile optimization
• Problem-solve issues independently before asking for help
• Collaborate via Slack, Asana, and Git

Requirements

• 2+ years of WordPress front-end development experience
• Strong skills in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and basic PHP
• Experience with Gutenberg, ACF, or similar
• Strong critical thinking and independent problem-solving skills
• Ability to manage deadlines without heavy supervision
• Good written communication in English

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with Shopify or other CMS
• Knowledge of Tailwind CSS, React basics, or Figma-to-HTML skills

Offer

• Contractor role to start (with opportunity for long-term position)
• Pay in USD:
• Junior (0–2 years): $1,200–$1,800 USD/month
• Intermediate (2–5 years): $1,800–$2,500 USD/month
• Flexible working hours (with 3–4 hours of timezone overlap with PST/EST)
• Focused, fast-moving team environment
• Paid in USD, work from anywhere in LATAM
