About the role
We are looking for a WordPress Engineer to manage and evolve our WordPress

- Manage site deployments, staging environments, and production releases.
- Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues across plugins, integrations, and code.
Core skills and experience
- Deep expertise in WordPress backend development, hooks, filters, and architecture.

Nice to have

- Experience with headless or decoupled WordPress environments.
- SEO integration (technical level only, not content).

equivalent practical experience). - 2–5 years of experience as a WordPress Engineer or in a similar technical role.
