About The Position

We're looking for a WordPress Developer who's past the basics and ready to own real work. You bring solid technical skills, a sharp eye for detail, and Claude Code is already part of how you work - not something you're just getting started with. You can take a Figma prototype and turn it into a clean, fully responsive build independently - whether it's an internal Search Atlas property or a client deliverable. You don't need your hand held through a project, but you know when to ask questions and how to communicate clearly when you do. If you take pride in your work, move with purpose, and are always looking for smarter ways to build - we want to hear from you.

Requirements

3+ years of professional experience in WordPress
WordPress development — themes, plugins, custom builds
PHP, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
Elementor — building and customizing beyond pre-built templates
Solid Next.js chops
Figma — inspecting specs, navigating prototypes, and executing builds independently without hand-holding
Claude Code — hands-on experience in a real production workflow
Hosting platforms — Kinsta, WPEngine, or similar
Basic domain and DNS management — Cloudflare, GoDaddy, or similar
Highly organized with exceptional attention to detail
Proactive problem-solver who anticipates issues before they arise
Ability to maintain composure and prioritize during high-pressure situations
Strong follow-through and accountability
Collaborative team player with a service-oriented mindset
Adaptable and comfortable with changing priorities
Uncompromising commitment to quality — you don't ship work you wouldn't be proud of, and you raise the standard for everyone around you

Nice To Haves

Shopify development
Modern JavaScript framework — React, Vue, or Angular
Headless CMS familiarity
RESTful API knowledge
SEO and performance optimization tools

Responsibilities

Develop and maintain scalable, performant web solutions using WordPress, PHP, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript — translating Figma prototypes into responsive, production-ready builds for both internal projects and client work, and using Claude Code throughout to move faster and write better code.
Work within established technical standards and best practices, and actively contribute to improving them over time. You produce clean, maintainable code that holds up under review — you don't ship work you wouldn't put your name on.
Work closely with designers and senior developers during Figma handoff to understand project scope, flag questions early, and execute with confidence. You communicate clearly in writing and don't let ambiguity quietly become a problem.
Support website hosting (Kinsta, WPEngine, etc.) and domain management (Cloudflare, GoDaddy, Squarespace) tasks, with a growing understanding of performance, security, and uptime best practices.
Design, develop, and maintain custom WordPress, Webflow, and Elementor websites from concept to launch — working directly from Figma prototypes to deliver responsive, accurate implementations across both internal and client-facing properties, using Claude Code as a force multiplier throughout.
Implement technical and on-page SEO best practices to support search performance, including site structure, schema markup, and page speed improvements.
Identify and resolve front-end and WordPress issues across browsers and devices. Stay curious — you're always picking up new tools and techniques, and AI tooling is part of that.
