Dignotion is looking for an experienced and detail-oriented WordPress Developer to support a range of high-impact web projects.

In this role, you?ll work on both new builds and existing properties, including the development of feature-rich, fast-loading websites. Many of our projects involve complex content structures, dynamic listings, and third-party integrations—so strong experience with custom development beyond basic theming is essential.

• Implement both backend and frontend features to spec

• Support WooCommerce development and optimization

• Improve site speed via caching, lazy loading, and optimized code

• Configure complex hosting setups, load balancers, and Git-based version control

• Integrate third-party APIs and dynamic content

• Translate project briefs into development roadmaps and deliverables

• Coordinate with internal teams and plugin/theme developers when needed

Requirements - 3+ years of hands-on WordPress development experience

• Strong skills in HTML, CSS, PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, and related toolkits
• Experience working with REST APIs (advantage)
• Familiarity with Git workflows and version control (advantage)
• Understanding of cross-browser compatibility and responsive design
• Ability to plan structured, scalable builds and follow through independently
• Excellent communication and fluent written English
• Experience working remotely and managing tasks asynchronously
• Familiarity with page builders like Elementor (advantage)
• Experience with affiliate marketing tools or link tracking (advantage)

Additional Bonus Points If You Have:

• Prior work developing listing-based, comparison, or directory-style websites

• Comfort working with structured content, advanced filtering, and UX-driven data presentation

• Experience creating CMS-driven experiences tailored for performance and scalability

Benefits - Fully remote or hybrid work (NYC-based optional)

• Competitive rates, defined individually per project and experience level
• Opportunity to work on technically challenging, high-visibility builds with a skilled and collaborative team
