Wordpress Developer

About ZESWorks

ZESWorks builds high-converting websites for hotels across India. We're a lean, focused team that helps hoteliers increase direct bookings through systematic website delivery.

Job Overview

We're hiring a WordPress Developer to build hotel websites using our systematic process, pre-built blocks, and templates. You'll work directly with the founder (technical lead) who handles architecture decisions while you execute implementations.

This is high-volume, systematic delivery - not slow custom work. We use modern AI-assisted coding tools (Cursor) to deliver quality at speed.

Key Responsibilities

• Build WordPress hotel websites following our established processes
• Customize and maintain our proprietary hotel management plugin (custom post types, custom fields, admin interfaces)
• Convert UI/UX designs into functional WordPress pages and templates
• Implement and refine pre-built blocks and templates for faster delivery
• Handle website hosting setup, SSL certificates, backups, and server management
• Implement security best practices and performance optimization
• Execute on-page SEO implementation (meta tags, schema markup, site structure)
• Coordinate with UI/UX designer and founder for project execution
• Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues independently

Required Skills & Experience

• 2+ years of hands-on WordPress development experience
• Strong experience with custom plugin development (custom post types, custom fields, admin interfaces)
• Proficiency in PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript
• Experience with WordPress theme customization and child themes
• Working knowledge of cPanel or similar hosting control panels
• Understanding of website security, performance optimization, and SEO basics
• Experience with version control (Git)
• Comfortable using AI-assisted coding tools like Cursor (or willing to learn immediately)
• Portfolio demonstrating WordPress sites you've built
• Strong English communication skills (written and verbal)
• Self-motivated and able to meet deadlines consistently

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building websites for hotels, restaurants, or hospitality industry
• Prior work in high-volume agency or product environment
• Familiarity with page builders (Elementor, Gutenberg blocks, etc.)
• Experience with WooCommerce or booking system integrations
• Based in Kochi, Kerala (strongly preferred)

Tools & Technologies

• WordPress CMS
• Cursor (AI-assisted coding tool)
• Custom hotel management plugin (in-house developed)
• Pre-built blocks and template library
• Standard web technologies (PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript)
• cPanel/server management tools

What Makes This Role Different

• Direct collaboration with founder on technical direction
• Systematic, repeatable processes - not reinventing the wheel for every project
• Modern tools including AI-assisted coding to increase productivity
• High volume but structured - you'll master efficient delivery, not chase perfection
• Hotel industry focus - become an expert in hospitality digital presence
• Ground floor opportunity in a growing agency

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary: ₹25,000 - ₹35,000 per month (based on experience)
• Full-time position
• Hands-on learning and technical guidance from founder
• Opportunity to grow with the company
• Remote work may be considered for exceptional candidates

Work Environment

This is a fast-paced role focused on systematic delivery. You'll have clear technical direction from the founder, designs from UI/UX, and established processes to follow. The goal is delivering quality at speed using modern tools and repeatable systems.

If you prefer slow-paced custom work where every project is unique, this role won't be the right fit. If you want to master high-volume systematic delivery using cutting-edge tools, this is an excellent opportunity.

How to Apply

Please submit your application with:

• Resume/CV
• Portfolio with links to WordPress sites you've built
• Brief description of your most complex WordPress customization project
• Your experience with AI-assisted coding tools (Cursor, GitHub Copilot, etc.)

We review applications within 3 business days and will contact shortlisted candidates for the next steps.
