Senior WordPress Engineer (React, WordPress/PHP, Java)
Location: Remote – LATAM
Contract: Full-Time Vendor
Overview
Our client’s Platform Team is seeking a Senior WordPress Engineer with strong hands-on experience developing complex, custom solutions — not just plugin work. You will maintain and evolve large-scale WordPress environments while preparing for the next generation of headless CMS architecture based on React.
This is a role for a true builder: someone comfortable writing custom code from scratch, with the flexibility to learn and adapt as the tech stack transitions over the next year toward React, Java, and Python.
What You’ll Do
Develop and maintain high-performance, custom WordPress solutions (themes, plugins, and integrations) — no reliance on third-party builders.
Implement headless architectures, connecting WordPress backends with React frontends via GraphQL or REST APIs.
Collaborate with engineers, designers, and product teams to optimize homepages and localized landing pages across 90+ locales.
Build reusable, modular PHP code and ensure scalability, reliability, and security.
Contribute to modernization efforts, gradually integrating React components and supporting migration toward Java/Python-based services.
Troubleshoot, test, and continuously enhance system performance.
Participate in code reviews and knowledge-sharing within a globally distributed engineering team.
What You Bring
5+ years of experience developing advanced WordPress applications (custom plugins, themes, APIs).
Strong proficiency in PHP and WordPress Core, including performance optimization and multisite management.
Experience integrating React with WordPress (headless setups, Next.js, or similar).
Solid understanding of GraphQL and frontend best practices.
Basic to intermediate exposure to Java or Python, or willingness to learn these stacks.
Familiarity with GraphQL, REST APIs, and CI/CD workflows.
Excellent debugging, problem-solving, and communication skills.
Fluent English (B2+ minimum) — able to collaborate effectively with international teams.
Nice to Have
Experience with AWS (S3, CloudFront) and Terraform.
Monitoring exposure with Datadog or similar tools.
Familiarity with SEO optimization and performance tuning for content-heavy platforms.
Prior experience in agile, distributed environments.
What’s Next
This role begins focused on WordPress for approximately 9–12 months, after which the stack will evolve toward React frontends and Java backends. We’re looking for engineers excited to grow with this transition — not afraid to learn, adapt, and help shape the next generation of the platform.
