You will combine hands-on development with technical leadership, reviewing work delivered by internal teams and external vendors while improving platform performance, security and maintainability.

The platform currently runs on WordPress Multisite. At the same time, we are exploring a longer-term evolution towards a modern Next.js-based architecture. The right engineer will strengthen the current platform while helping shape and validate its future technical direction.

Develop and improve WordPress themes, ACF configurations and custom PHP plugins.

Work with DevOps to improve deployment workflows, CDN caching and production reliability.

Maintain integrations across marketing automation, analytics, tag management and cookie consent.

Improve page speed, structured data, multilingual configuration, sitemaps and technical SEO/AEO.

Contribute to a proof of concept and architectural decisions for a potential Next.js platform.

What you will bring:

Solid hands-on experience with WordPress, including custom themes, plugins, ACF and PHP, with the ability to work confidently in an existing large-scale WordPress environment.

Production experience with Next.js and TypeScript.

Experience working with AI-assisted development workflows and AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or similar), including review and validation of generated code.

A full-cycle engineering mindset spanning development, testing, infrastructure, deployment and production support.

Practical knowledge of web security, performance optimisation and maintainable architecture.

Experience reviewing other developers’ work and assessing vendor solutions and estimates.

Proactive ownership: you identify risks and opportunities, propose solutions and drive improvements through delivery.

Nice to have:

Experience introducing or improving code review, automated testing and CI/CD practices.

Backend development experience with Node.js or NestJS.

Experience with multilingual marketing websites, MarTech integrations and technical SEO/AEO.

We offer:

Competitive monthly compensation in USD, based on experience and skills.
