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
Ensure that JavaScript payloads are light and minimally intrusive, deferring scripts where possible and minimizing custom JS to avoid performance penalties.
Establish reusable patterns and components that empower the marketing team to design and deploy no- code templates independently, without developer involvement.
Implement best practices in security, ensuring that the site is protected against common vulnerabilities.
Ensure accessibility compliance with WCAG AA standards to deliver an inclusive user experience.
Support analytics integration in a minimally intrusive way, avoiding performance impacts while ensuring accurate data collection.
Optimize the site to achieve high scores on Core Web Vitals, prioritizing user experience and page load speed.
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.
Develop a custom WordPress theme from scratch, or extend a lightweight starter theme, with an emphasis on minimalism and performance.
Ensure that the site primarily renders as static content for optimal performance, while progressively degrading if JavaScript is disabled.
Integrate with CDNs and full- page caching solutions to ensure that the site scales efficiently to handle large traffic volumes.
Heavily adopt the Gutenberg block editor experience, enabling editors to create complex templates and content layouts without developer intervention.
Employ modern responsive CSS practices without relying on heavy- weight CSS frameworks, ensuring the design is adaptable across devices without unnecessary overhead.
Keep the external plugin footprint minimal, focusing on bespoke solutions and avoiding large or cumbersome plugin stacks.
Implement image optimization strategies, including responsive images and modern formats (e.g., WebP), to ensure fast load times and minimal bandwidth usage.
