The posting

WordPress Developer (Elementor, PHP, Site Speed Optimization) – Remote | U.S. Hours

Position Type: Full-Time, Remote Working Hours: U.S. Client Business Hours (flexibility for deployments & urgent fixes)

About the Role

We’re hiring a WordPress Developer who can build, customize, and optimize high-performing websites — not just assemble pages.

This role combines development, performance optimization, and problem-solving. You’ll work across landing pages, blogs, and full websites, ensuring everything is fast, secure, SEO-optimized, and conversion-ready.

If you’ve worked with Elementor + custom code + performance optimization, this role is a strong fit.

What You’ll Own

WordPress Development (Core Focus)

  • Build and customize WordPress websites using:
  • Elementor
  • Divi
  • WPBakery
  • Develop and maintain child themes for scalability
  • Create custom templates for:
  • Landing pages
  • Blogs
  • Marketing pages

Plugin Development & Customization

  • Work with key plugins:
  • WooCommerce
  • Yoast SEO
  • Contact Form 7
  • Customize or extend plugins using PHP
  • Ensure compatibility across themes, plugins, and updates

Front-End Development & UX

  • Convert designs from:
  • Figma
  • Sketch
  • Adobe XD
  • Build pixel-perfect, responsive layouts
  • Ensure:
  • Cross-browser compatibility
  • Mobile optimization
  • Accessibility (WCAG standards)

Performance Optimization (Critical)

  • Improve site speed using:
  • Caching
  • Minification
  • Lazy loading
  • CDN integration
  • Run audits using:
  • Google Lighthouse
  • GTmetrix
  • Optimize Core Web Vitals for SEO + UX

Security & Maintenance

  • Manage updates (WordPress core, plugins, themes)
  • Implement security using:
  • Wordfence
  • Sucuri
  • Set up backups and recovery processes

Collaboration & Support

  • Work with marketing, design, and content teams
  • Troubleshoot bugs and site issues
  • Support non-technical team members with CMS usage

What Makes You a Strong Fit

  • You are both developer + problem-solver
  • You care about performance, speed, and clean builds
  • You can debug issues independently
  • You communicate clearly with non-technical teams

Required Experience & Skills

  • 2+ years of WordPress development experience
  • Strong skills in:
  • PHP
  • HTML
  • CSS
  • JavaScript
  • Experience with:
  • Elementor / Divi / WPBakery
  • Experience with hosting platforms:
  • cPanel
  • WP Engine
  • SiteGround
  • Kinsta

Nice to Have (High-Value Candidates)

  • WooCommerce store builds and customization
  • Custom plugin development
  • SEO knowledge (technical + on-page)
  • Git / version control workflows
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines

What a Typical Day Looks Like

  • Fix bugs, update content, and handle support tickets
  • Build new landing pages or features
  • Optimize performance and run speed audits
  • Collaborate with marketing on campaigns
  • Apply updates and ensure site security
  • Push changes via staging or Git

In short: You ensure every WordPress site is fast, secure, scalable, and conversion-ready.

Key Metrics (KPIs)

  • On-time delivery of builds and updates
  • Page load speed < 3 seconds
  • Core Web Vitals ≥ 90%
  • Minimal downtime and security issues
  • Strong internal team satisfaction

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Real ownership of websites (not just maintenance)
  • Work across performance, UX, and development
  • Exposure to marketing + conversion-focused builds
  • Opportunity to grow into senior dev / tech lead roles

Interview Process

  • Initial Phone Screen
  • Video Interview with Recruiter
  • Practical Task:
  • Build a landing page from Figma OR optimize a demo site
  • Client Interview
  • Offer & Background Verification

Apply Now

If you:

  • Know WordPress beyond drag-and-drop
  • Care about speed, performance, and UX
  • Can build and troubleshoot independently

This role is a strong fit.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
