Experienced Full-Stack WordPress Developer [CLOSED]

Full Time 3750.00 USD Type: Monthly

HTML5 CSS3 Javascript Advanced... PHP Wordpress

Two questions for you:

  • Are you an exceptional web developer with expertise in WordPress?
  • Do you want to be part of an emerging online pet company that aims to be the world’s biggest and most helpful resource for pet owners?

If you said “yes” to both, this could be the position for you.

About Us

We’re a hard-working, high-energy, 16-person remote team on a mission. Our pet magazine sites include DoggieDesigner.com, Excitedcats.com, and others.

We help millions of readers every month and our audience is growing daily, and we also recently launched a new modern, high-end cat furniture brand that runs on WooCommerce.

About the Position

We’re looking for a talented full-time WordPress developer to take ownership of all web development-related aspects of our sites. You will be responsible for:

  • Site-wide design and functionality (creating the best user-experience)
  • Website maintenance (regularly updating plugins, themes, WordPress versions)
  • Innovating (How can we make the user experience better? A new plugin? New automation?)
  • Troubleshooting issues
  • Miscellaneous tasks (optimizing for Google’s Core Web Vitals page speed, etc.)

You’ll be working autonomously—empowered to take initiative and work on the things that you think are most important. It’s a relationship built on trust. You’re the expert, so you know best what’s most important to work on. This is NOT a position where you will be trained or told what to do.

Until now, we have worked with dozens of great freelance web-developers, but constantly hiring and instructing web developers on how we work and what we like is ineffective, and makes it impossible for us to become the biggest, most helpful pet company.

We’re now looking to find the person who will get to intimately know our business inside-out, and be passionate about improving the lives of pet owners worldwide.

Requirements

You MUST have expert-level skills in WordPress. You can code a plugin from scratch, debug errors, optimize a site for speed, etc.

The following are non-negotiable requirements for the position:

  • You must be an expert in WordPress, and have experience with Elementor and Gutenberg
  • You must be an expert in HTML, CSS, PHP, and JS
  • Basic English communication skills
  • Basic understanding of SEO
  • Self-motivation: you must be a hard-worker that sets the bar REALLY high. We are extremely picky when it comes to our web design.
  • A great communicator with a serious respect for deadlines.

Ideally, you’re a master of both frontend and backend web development; however, being a really good backend web developer is most important. Do plugins affect loading speed? Please answer this in your cover letter. We work with graphic artists, so if you can communicate your ideas with them, and implement their work, then this should be manageable.

Compensation

The remuneration (pay) for this role will be in the range of $3000 to $4500 per month. This will depend on your experience and skills. This is for a full-time position (8 hours a day, 5 days a week).

If you hit your goals consistently, you’ll be rewarded with bonuses. There is ample opportunity for advancement and higher compensation.

This is a long-term position in a long-term company. We’re a 3-year old company, and we’re expecting to run this company for the next 10+ years.

You’ll be working directly with the CEO. We get together once a week for 30-minute one-on-one meetings to discuss goals, challenges and getting to the next level.

Benefits/perks

  • Flexible work hours
  • 21 days of paid time off (vacation)
  • Opportunity to move up in the company, and earn bonuses
  • Work from anywhere (we’re 100% remote)
  • We’ll pay for 100% of your monthly coworking membership and coffee
  • Level up with a great, talented and exciting team
