WordPress Theme Developer

Are you a passionate WordPress developer who breathes code and dreams in PHP? Do you take pride in transforming complex design mockups into flawless, functional, and fast WordPress themes? If so, we want you on our team.

We are looking for highly skilled and experienced WordPress Theme Developers to create exceptional custom themes from the ground up. You will be responsible for the entire theme development lifecycle, from initial concept and building demo data to deployment and handoff. The ideal candidate is a problem-solver who is meticulous about code quality, performance, and user experience.

Key Responsibilities:

· Develop custom WordPress themes for various niches (e.g., corporate, e-commerce, blog, magazine) based on specifications and design files (Figma, Adobe XD, Sketch).

· Build comprehensive one-click demo import packages that accurately replicate the live preview, including customizer settings, widgets, and navigation menus.

· Implement advanced custom fields (ACF Pro or Meta Box) to create intuitive and flexible content management experiences for clients.

· Develop custom page templates, template parts, and block patterns (Gutenberg).

· Create custom placeholders and fallback content to ensure a seamless user experience during initial setup.

· Ensure all themes are fully responsive, cross-browser compatible, and adhere to modern web standards (HTML5, CSS3).

· Optimize themes for maximum speed, performance, and SEO best practices.

· Write clean, well-documented, and secure code following WordPress PHP coding standards.

· Collaborate with designers, project managers, and other developers to deliver projects on time and to the highest standard.

· Conduct quality assurance testing and troubleshoot issues across various environments.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

· Proven Experience: 3+ years of professional experience in custom WordPress theme development (not just page builders or child themes).

· Core Technologies: Expert-level knowledge of PHP, MySQL, HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript (ES6+).

· WordPress Mastery: Deep understanding of the WordPress template hierarchy, theme structure, hooks (actions and filters), and the WordPress REST API.

· Advanced Custom Fields: Extensive hands-on experience with ACF Pro (or similar) to build complex meta boxes and option pages.

· Gutenberg: Strong experience developing for the block editor, including creating custom blocks (ideally with ACF Blocks or native WordPress methods).

· Demo Data Import: Proven ability to create and handle XML/WXR demo data imports and customizer settings export/import.

· Tools & Workflow: Proficiency in Git for version control, npm/yarn, and a modern build process (e.g., Webpack, Vite).

· Performance & Security: A strong focus on writing efficient, secure code and optimizing themes for performance (e.g., caching, image optimization, script loading).

· Responsive Design: Expertise in creating responsive layouts using CSS Flexbox/Grid or frameworks like Bootstrap/Tailwind CSS.

What Will Make You Stand Out (Bonus Skills):

· Experience with a popular JavaScript framework (e.g., React, ).

· Knowledge of WooCommerce integration and customization.

· Experience with WordPress plugin development.

· Understanding of accessibility (WCAG) guidelines.

· A portfolio that includes contributions to the WordPress core or popular open-source themes/plugins.

What We Offer:

· Competitive salary and performance bonuses.

· A collaborative and supportive work environment with a team of experts.
