About the Role
We're looking for a Next.js + WordPress Developer to take ownership of both front-end and back-end performance across our portfolio of high-traffic, content-driven websites. In this role, you’ll be responsible for building fast, scalable interfaces, optimizing WordPress architecture, and designing clean integrations between systems.
This is a full-time, remote position with a focus on autonomy, problem-solving, and long-term impact.
What You’ll Do
- Develop high-performance user interfaces using Next.js and Tailwind CSS
- Customize and maintain the WordPress backend (themes, plugins, and REST APIs)
- Design clean, scalable APIs to connect frontend and backend systems
- Optimize performance using Cloudflare edge functions, CDNs, and caching strategies
- Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines
- Troubleshoot performance issues and identify long-term architectural improvements
- Ensure accessibility, SEO, and mobile responsiveness are built in from day one
- Work with RESTful APIs or GraphQL as needed
- Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code
- Participate in code reviews and contribute to continuous improvement
About You
You’re a resourceful, performance-minded developer who thrives on building scalable systems and solving technical challenges independently. You’re proactive, curious, and value clean architecture as much as end-user performance.
You should have:
- Strong experience with WordPress and Next.js
- Solid knowledge of PHP, JavaScript, HTML/CSS, and Tailwind CSS
- Familiarity with the WordPress REST API and custom endpoints
- Experience with state management (e.g., Redux or React Context)
- Understanding of CI/CD workflows and deployment pipelines
- A performance-first mindset: SEO, page speed, and scalability
- Excellent debugging skills and attention to detail
Bonus points for:
- Experience with PostgreSQL, MongoDB, or .NET
