Senior Wordpress Developer

About Praella :

We are a proud Great Place to Work certified organization.

We strive for excellence, and we chase perfection for our merchants and team. We build relationships with our merchants that are not reflective of a vendor-like or even a partner-like relationship. We strive to become an extension of who our merchants are. And we strive to become a reflection of our team as an organization.

We are also a Webby-winning agency. We are a Shopify Plus partner. We are grateful to be an extension of some of the best e-commerce brands.

We are a merchant-first, results-driven team. We have the nothing is impossible mentality. We work together and support each other and our clients. Collaboration and camaraderie are everything. We are data-driven, ambitious, and creative - we work hard, and we work smart. 

• Our founders started one of the first Shopify Plus agencies, which was eventually sold.
• We are Shopify Plus Partners and partner with other e-commerce leaders like ReCharge, Klaviyo, Omnisend, Yotpo, Smile, etc.
• We have a remote team, but our headquarters is in Chicago. We have a small team in Chicago. Outside of Chicago, we have teams located in Atlanta, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Toronto, Athens (Greece), Sarajevo (Bosnia), and Surat (India).
• Do you want to work from Europe or India for a month and travel to nearby destinations on long weekends? Why not?
• Majority of our clients are e-commerce-based merchants with annual revenue between $2M-$350MM.

We are ambitious. And, we want you to be too. We need people that want to be pushed and who want to be challenged. We want people who will push us and who will challenge us. Is that you?
