Job description

Full Stack WordPress Developer Role

Join to apply for the FullStack WordPress Developer role at Lone Rock Point.

Solve complex problems while collaborating with an awesome development team working on innovative and large-scale WordPress installations.

Ways You Work

You should have a desire to work behind the scenes with a team to get things done. You like to see a large project through from start to finish. You need to be up to speed and knowledgeable about the most recent releases and standards of WordPress.

You also take pride in how you communicate with others. You can explain a technical issue or function in a way that someone who isn’t a developer can digest. You recognize the importance of asking for help and having code reviews, both to help yourself and others on the team.

We want you to be as excited and as passionate as we are about what we are creating with the platform.

NO AGENCIES! ALL CANDIDATES MUST BE A RESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

Required Professional Skills

• Attention to Detail – Be naturally precise, and take genuine, personal pride in being meticulous about your craft.
• Project Management communication – Will communicate clearly to let Project Managers and/or the Lead Web Developer know that work has been completed or if you have a question.
• Collaboration – Collaborate with the project strategist and senior backend developers to articulate the best technological solution for the problem at hand. You enjoy working with others in an environment that balances team-wide communication with independent work.
• Communication – Our operational style emphasizes flexibility and encourages autonomy. As a result, uncommonly good common sense, and exceptional communication skills are indispensable for every team member.
• Time Management – We know that nothing is ever ‘done.' The proven ability to manage your time sensibly and proportionately with project priorities is critical.
• Analyst – Analyze user story acceptance criteria to ensure technical feasibility and point out potential issues.
• Architect – Architect and develop new backend features and plugins, custom functionality, and theme integration as needed.
• Quality – Write high quality code with readability, efficiency, and maintainability in mind.
• Develop – Develop and maintain complex WordPress-based applications. Implement complex features using modern PHP code and patterns.

Responsibilities/Duties

• Develop custom solutions using the WordPress framework.
• Oversee and execute the implementation of new feature requests.
• Advise on and support WordPress best practices.

• Review code and pull requests from other developers.
• Set up code repositories and remote development installations.
• Continuous integration and automated deployment pipelines.
• Coordinate releases with partner IT groups.

• Experience working with at least one automated testing framework.
• Demonstrated experience developing on the WordPress platform (e.g., solid experience with WordPress methods and development patterns, Gutenberg blocks, handling data securely within WordPress, plugin development, or leveraging the REST API).
• Thorough understanding of the software development life cycle (i.e., seeing a project through from spec to completion).
