Work with site content at scale, including bulk updates, imports, and cleanup of duplicated or broken posts.
·
Configure SEO basics, caching, and image optimization across sites.
·
Support integrations with internal tools, including the REST API, WP-CLI, and automated publishing.
·
Use AI coding tools in daily work and carefully review and test their output.
·
Work with Git and follow the team's development and code review workflow.
·
Follow tasks and priorities set by the team lead and keep work up to date in the task system.
**Requirements:**
·
1+ year of commercial or practical experience with WordPress (freelance and personal projects count).
·
Good knowledge of WordPress: themes, plugins, custom post types, taxonomies, and hooks (actions and filters).
·
Basic to intermediate PHP, including OOP basics.
·
Basic MySQL, including simple queries and an understanding of the WordPress database structure.
·
Good knowledge of HTML and CSS, and basic JavaScript.
·
Experience with Git.
·
Basic understanding of hosting: domains, DNS, SSL, FTP/SFTP, and cPanel or similar.
·
Ability to read and work with existing code, including third-party themes and plugins.
·
Ability to find solutions and learn new tools independently.
·
Strong attention to detail and a responsible attitude to tasks.
·
Good time management and ability to handle several small tasks in parallel.
·

**Nice to Have:**

Experience with WP-CLI and the WordPress REST API.
·
Experience with WordPress Multisite or managing many sites at once.
·
Basic Linux and command-line skills, including SSH.
