Full Time Ahmedabad 6+ Years

Every project needs a developer who can turn requirements into clean, working WordPress builds — custom themes, plugin customization, and PHP-based solutions — without needing constant hand-holding. This role exists to do exactly that: build and extend WordPress sites for client projects, working closely with PMs and delivery leads to translate requirements into solid, standards-compliant code.

This role is for someone who enjoys:

- Building custom WordPress functionality rather than just configuring plugins
- Writing clean, well-documented, standards-compliant code
- Solving backend problems — plugin conflicts, PHP errors, integration issues — with real technical depth
- Working across multiple concurrent client projects without losing quality

If you’re someone who takes pride in solid WordPress builds and enjoys the technical side of the platform, this role gives you real project ownership with room to grow.

What you’ll really be doing

1. Custom Theme & Plugin Development

- Build and customize WordPress themes and plugins using PHP, hooks, filters, and actions
- Write clean, well-documented, and standards-compliant code for current builds and existing sites
- Implement customizations based on requirements received from PMs or delivery leads

2. Bug Fixing & Troubleshooting

- Diagnose and resolve backend issues, plugin conflicts, PHP errors, and performance bottlenecks
- Work across staging and production environments with minimal turnaround time
- Provide clear documentation of issues identified and resolutions applied

3. Performance & Security Best Practices

- Apply WordPress security best practices during development and customization
- Optimize code and database queries for performance




- Apply caching strategies where relevant to project requirements

4. Third-Party Integrations

- Integrate REST APIs, payment gateways, CRMs, and third-party services into WordPress environments
- Troubleshoot integration issues during development and testing

5. WooCommerce Support

- Build and customize WooCommerce-based sites including product configuration, checkout customization, and order management logic
- Manage plugin compatibility and flag issues proactively

6. Documentation & Task Management

- Maintain clear documentation for custom code and site-specific configurations
- Track tasks and progress in the team’s project management tool (Orbit)

7. AI & Development Assistance

- Utilize AI-assisted tools such as ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, or similar platforms to accelerate development, improve debugging efficiency, and support documentation
- Explore productivity tools to enhance coding efficiency and workflow management

Who will thrive in this role

- You write clean, standards-compliant code without needing to be told to document it
- You can diagnose a backend issue quickly and explain the fix clearly
- You take a requirement and build it correctly the first time, most of the time
- You’re comfortable working across multiple concurrent client projects
- You want to keep growing technically toward more senior development work
