Need to have qualifications:
- 5+ years of proven experience developing custom WordPress solutions (themes, plugins, REST API integrations).
- 2+ years of direct, hands-on experience working with MemberPress at scale (multi-tier membership models, subscription management, Stripe integrations).
- Expertise architecting backend systems, including custom post types, hooks/filters, MySQL queries, and scalable plugin development.
- Familiarity with modern PHP development practices (object-oriented programming, Composer, namespacing, error handling).
- Deep understanding of WordPress security, performance optimization, and SEO best practices.
- Experience with version control systems (Git) and collaborative code review workflows.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable working directly with US-based stakeholders.
- Full availability to work 40 hours per week, Monday to Friday, fully aligned with Eastern Time Zone (ET).
Nice to have:
- Exposure to Webflow and/or Kajabi platforms.
- Familiarity with caching layers (Redis, Varnish, WP Rocket) and CDNs like Cloudflare.
- Experience with basic DevOps tools (Docker, GitHub Actions, CI/CD pipelines).
- Prior work in membership sites, online education platforms, or subscription businesses.
Other areas we’ll consider:
- Ability to advise on backend architecture and propose best practices, not just execute assigned tasks.
- Strong troubleshooting and debugging skills across WordPress core, plugin conflicts, and third-party API integrations.
- Mindset for documentation-first development, creating clear technical notes for future teams.
- Adaptability to collaborate with cross-functional teams, including designers, marketers, and non-technical founders.
Responsibilities:
- Architect, build, and optimize membership websites on WordPress using MemberPress as the core membership engine.
- Design and implement custom plugins, shortcodes, API integrations, and backend features to meet client business needs.
- Conduct full-stack performance audits and implement optimizations to improve Core Web Vitals and user experience.
- Collaborate closely with design and marketing teams to advise on technical feasibility and suggest scalable solutions.
- Own deployment workflows, version control, and environment management across staging and production instances.
- Proactively identify technical debt, performance bottlenecks, or security risks and recommend long-term solutions.
- Write clear documentation for technical configurations, processes, and support handoffs.
- Participate in code reviews, feedback cycles, and technical discussions with the broader engineering team.
