Role Overview
We are looking for an experienced WordPress Developer to help us build a high-performance, scalable WordPress site from the ground up. This isn't your typical WordPress development role — we need someone who can design and develop bespoke solutions tailored to modern WordPress architecture, utilizing the full potential of the Gutenberg editor, with a focus on performance, security, and minimal reliance on external plugins.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop a custom WordPress theme from scratch, or extend a lightweight starter theme, with an emphasis on minimalism and performance
- Heavily adopt the Gutenberg block editor experience, enabling editors to create complex templates and content layouts without developer intervention
- Architect a multi-site setup that supports publishing across multiple regions simultaneously, with region-specific overrides where necessary
- Build complex, multi-faceted content types using attributes on Gutenberg blocks, avoiding unnecessary reliance on custom fields or bulky plugins
- Ensure that the site primarily renders as static content for optimal performance, while progressively degrading if JavaScript is disabled
- Optimize the site to achieve high scores on Core Web Vitals, prioritizing user experience and page load speed
- Implement best practices in security, ensuring that the site is protected against common vulnerabilities
- Integrate with CDNs and full-page caching solutions to ensure that the site scales efficiently to handle large traffic volumes
- Keep the external plugin footprint minimal, focusing on bespoke solutions and avoiding large or cumbersome plugin stacks
- Ensure that JavaScript payloads are light and minimally intrusive, deferring scripts where possible and minimizing custom JS to avoid performance penalties
- Implement image optimization strategies, including responsive images and modern formats (e.g., WebP), to ensure fast load times and minimal bandwidth usage
- Establish reusable patterns and components that empower the marketing team to design and deploy no-code templates independently, without developer involvement
- Ensure accessibility compliance with WCAG AA standards to deliver an inclusive user experience
- Employ modern responsive CSS practices without relying on heavy-weight CSS frameworks, ensuring the design is adaptable across devices without unnecessary overhead
- Support analytics integration in a minimally intrusive way, avoiding performance impacts while ensuring accurate data collection
