We’re looking for a talented Full Stack WordPress Developer to join our 20-person marketing agency. Working alongside designers, marketers, SEO specialists, project managers and fellow developers, you’ll build, maintain and optimise high-quality websites for a diverse portfolio of clients.
We need a hands-on developer who combines strong technical skills with a collaborative approach, takes pride in their work and can manage multiple projects in a fast-paced agency environment.
- Solid understanding of WordPress themes, plugins, hooks, filters and template hierarchy
- Experience building bespoke functionality and responsive websites from designs, ideally using Figma
- Practical experience deploying, managing and troubleshooting WordPress websites on Cloudways, DigitalOcean and/or cPanel-based hosting
- Understanding of DNS, SSL, databases, PHP configuration, website migrations, backups and deployment workflows
- Familiarity with REST APIs, Git, website security, performance optimisation and technical SEO
- Strong problem-solving, communication and organisational skills, with the ability to work collaboratively and manage multiple priorities
Experience with ACF, custom Gutenberg blocks, WooCommerce, React, Composer, CI/CD, automated testing, SSH and Linux command-line tools would be advantageous. Advanced server administration is a plus, but not essential.
What We’re Looking For
A proactive, quality-driven developer who enjoys working as part of a close-knit team, takes ownership of projects and understands how effective websites support client and marketing objectives.
- Develop, maintain and enhance bespoke WordPress websites, themes, plugins and functionality.
- Build responsive, accessible front-end experiences from design files, working closely with our creative team.
- Develop back-end functionality, custom integrations, APIs and dynamic content systems.
- Manage hosting and deployments across Cloud-based and cPanel environments, including website migrations, DNS, SSL, databases, backups and staging environments.
- Troubleshoot website, hosting and server-side issues, working with hosting providers where required.
- Optimise website performance, Core Web Vitals, security and technical SEO.
- Collaborate with the wider team to estimate tasks, manage deadlines, review code and deliver successful client projects.
- Understand code optimisation techniques
- Be familiar with version control
- Have an awareness of coding standards
- Be able to manage your time effectively and provide accurate estimates
In return for this you will have the opportunity to work on a diverse range of clients and projects, and we can promise no day will ever be the same!
