Job Description
Pyyne is seeking a WordPress Developer with strong PHP skills and a deep understanding of the WordPress engine to work with a large US-based client out of our Brazilian office.
The successful candidate will help us migrate and modernize the client’s public-facing site. This role goes beyond admin work — you'll be the go-to technical expert for how content is structured and delivered, and you'll collaborate closely with agency partners during our theme migration.
What You’ll Do
* Migrate our legacy WordPress site to a modern Gutenberg block-based experience using a custom theme
* Serve as the technical lead on backend WordPress matters — helping guide decisions and troubleshoot issues during the migration
* Support, manage, and secure the production WordPress environment
* Build and deploy new sections and improve performance via caching and backend optimization
* Implement and configure editor-friendly plugins (e.g., polling tools) — no plugin development or WooCommerce
* Integrate Zendesk Live Chat and build tools to extract support data
* Set up MixPanel event tracking and instrument Gravity Forms appropriately
What You Bring
* Fluent English, written and spoken
* Strong backend development experience with WordPress and PHP — you understand the core engine, content workflows, and template architecture
* Ability to answer detailed technical questions from agency partners during the migration process
* Experience optimizing WordPress performance and security
* Familiarity with third-party integrations (e.g., Zendesk, Gravity Forms) and event tracking tools (e.g., MixPanel)
* Comfortable managing day-to-day updates and keeping progress moving independently
Benefits
* Salary Range from 18,000 - 24,000
* Flexible remote working environment
* Career development opportunities in a fast-growing company
