As a Word Press Developer, you’re responsible for Making Stuff Go. You’ll build and maintain integrations that connect Word Press to hundreds of external services—from CRMs and email platforms to payment gateways and social networks. You’ll own features from conception to completion, handling scoping, development, and testing.

• Build new Automator integrations (triggers and actions) for third-party plugins and apps
• Scope, develop, and test product enhancements, new product features and product add-ons of all sizes
• Work with support to fix bugs reported by our internal team or by customers
• Refactor legacy code while maintaining backward compatibility
• Review pull requests from teammates and provide constructive feedback (Git Hub PRs)
• Jump between front-end and back-end tasks as needed
• Communicate with the team and support your peers using chat, audio, and video

These are actual requirements, not a wish list:

• 3+ years of Word Press plugin development
  — professional experience with plugin architecture and Word Press standards, not just plugin and theme tweaks
• 4+ years of Advanced PHP proficiency
  — OOP, autoloading, namespacing, traits, interfaces, modern PHP practices. You write classes, not 2000-line functions.php files
• AI-assisted development expertise
  — you know how to leverage AI to amplify and accelerate your work – not replace your brain
• Third-party API experience
  — consuming APIs from services like Stripe, Drip, Zapier, Google, Mail Chimp, etc.
• Word Press hooks mastery
  — actions, filters, priorities. You know when to use each and why
• Security awareness
  — escaping, sanitization, nonces, capability checks are second nature
• Build tools
  — ability to use and extend webpack and similar tools
• Package managers
  — familiarity with Composer and NPM
• Git proficiency
  — competent with version control through git and Git Hub. You’ve worked on a team codebase before
• Keep it simple
  — ability to keep complex ideas and features simple (simplicity is a core value!)
• Previous remote work experience

• Strong English communication
  — fluent in both verbal and written English. Remote work requires clear async communication, and there’s no such thing as over communicating on our team
• Personal Computer with Internet Access
• Availability

  — if you’ve worked to extend Uncanny Automator, we want to talk
• Claude Code
  — you’re an expert at giving Claude Code the guidance and context necessary to plan and execute a project, resulting in code that is equal in quality to what you could produce yourself, but created in a fraction of the time
• HTML/CSS/SCSS experience
  — layout, specificity, cross-browser compatibility, accessibility
• JavaScript expertise
  — vanilla JS, jQuery, ES6, DOM manipulation, async programming, closures, promises, web components, VueJS or React proficiency
