We are looking for an AI-First Full Stack WordPress Engineer who builds clean, scalable, and performance-optimized WordPress solutions while actively leveraging AI tools to improve productivity, quality, and delivery speed.
This role is for engineers who already have strong WordPress fundamentals and want to grow into architectural thinking using AI as a daily engineering companion, not just an occasional assistant.
Role Overview
As an AI-First WordPress Engineer, you will contribute to the development of scalable WordPress systems across backend, frontend, and integrations. You will work closely with senior engineers to implement well-structured, production-ready solutions while improving engineering velocity through AI-assisted workflows.
You are not just writing code, you are learning to build systems that scale, perform, and last.

AI-Enhanced Engineering Workflow (Core Expectation)
This is an AI-First role. You should actively use AI tools (ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, Cursor etc.) in your development workflow to:
● Debug faster and troubleshoot issues efficiently
● Refactor and improve legacy code
● Integrate frameworks with AI tools
● Connect and use MCP agents for design and development
● Analyse performance issues
● Identify potential security vulnerabilities
● Automate repetitive development tasks
You must:
● Validate AI outputs critically (not blindly copy-paste)
● Demonstrate strong engineering judgment
● Continuously experiment with AI tools to improve productivity
AI is not optional — it is part of your daily workflow.
Performance & Quality Ownership
● Implement basic performance optimizations
● Follow WordPress security best practices
● Write reusable and maintainable code
● Support Core Web Vitals improvements

You move beyond “it works” toward “it works correctly and cleanly.
Collaboration & Growth
● Work closely with senior engineers and product teams
● Translate business requirements into technical implementation
● Communicate blockers and technical decisions clearly
● Continuously improve through feedback and learning
Requirements
● 3–4 years of WordPress development experience
● Strong understanding of:
o PHP (OOP basics)

o Hooks & filters
o MySQL fundamentals
o REST APIs
o Website Security - Strong familiarity required
o AI Tools and Vibe Coding at Abstract Level (Cursor, Claude etc)
o ACF Blocks
o Multilingual website development
o Accessibility and WCAG 2.0
o Basic SEO
● Experience building at least 1–2 custom plugins from scratch
● Experience integrating third-party APIs
● Practical usage of AI tools in development workflow
● Strong debugging and problem-solving skills
Strong Plus:
● Cloud hosting experience
● Familiarity with caching layers and CDNs(WP Rocket, Cloudflare etc.)
● SEO technical understanding (Schemas, Markups, Metas, Heading Structures etc)
● Experience optimizing performance issues
What Matters Most
● Strong engineering fundamentals
● Clean and readable code
