- Keep codebase up-to-date with upstream (PHP versions, library dependencies, WordPress core, plugins, JavaScript frameworks)
- Stay current with latest platform capabilities and technology trends, ensure marketing & operations teams have the best tools possible
- Refactor and rewrite code to manage technical debt, ensuring high performance and availability
- Open source contributions to improve WordPress platform and wider ecosystem
What do you need to succeed?
- Required back-end: Extensive experience of writing PHP for WordPress in high-availability and high-traffic environments

- Helpful additional back-end skills: Experience of Node.js and Python, container platforms (Kubernetes, Docker, and OpenShift)

- Proficient with code management (GitHub) and CI/CD tooling
