Software WordPress Developer

This role requires strong technical WordPress expertise, creative problem-solving, and the ability to develop, optimize, and enhance large-scale automated website generation systems. The platform’s headquarters and daily operations are based in Egypt, and this position is fully managed and executed from within Egypt. A separate US entity handles international sales and billing, while all development and product execution remain locally operated.

• Implement and customize REST APIs, webhooks, and integrations between AI systems and WordPress.
• Extend and optimize automated site-generation scripts to improve build time, performance, and reliability.
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues related to permissions, user access, and builder compatibility.
• Collaborate with AI and product teams to deliver smooth automation and scalable WordPress deployments.
• Enhance mobile responsiveness, multilingual capabilities, and template flexibility.
• Maintain clean, modular, and well-documented code using version control (Git).
• Participate in code reviews, QA workflows, and continuous deployment cycles.
• Proactively recommend improvements to security, performance, and user experience.

Success Metrics

• High platform uptime and site-build success rate.
• Faster and more efficient website generation performance.
• Reduced bugs and fewer customer-reported issues.
• Strong code quality, structure, and documentation.
• Meaningful contributions to new features and overall product velocity.

Must-Have Qualifications

• 2+ years of experience in WordPress development (themes, plugins, APIs).
• Strong knowledge of PHP, JavaScript (ES6+), HTML5, CSS3, and MySQL.
• Experience with WordPress hooks, filters, CPTs, ACF, and security best practices.
• Proficiency working with REST APIs, AJAX, and JSON.
• Familiarity with Git, SSH, cPanel, and cloud hosting environments.
• Strong debugging and performance optimization skills.
• Fluency in English & Arabic (spoken and written).
• Self-driven, organized, and motivated to solve complex technical challenges.

Nice-to-Have

• Experience with React.js or Vue.js (for UI and builder integrations).
• Knowledge of automation scripts, AI integrations, or no-code builder platforms.
• Previous experience in SaaS or startup environments.
• Familiarity with DevOps pipelines, Docker, or CI/CD workflows.

Compensation & Perks

• Competitive salary based on experience and technical level.
• Flexible hybrid work model (office + remote).
• Clear career development path toward Senior Developer or Platform Engineer roles.
• Opportunity to contribute to a cutting-edge international product shaping the future of website creation.
