Job description

In the past 4 years, we've grown to £6M+ annual revenue, and we are continuing to scale quickly with a significantly expanded product range.

We are also launching a second website focused on B2B sales.

To support this growth, we are building a proper in-house technical setup with senior external oversight.

Why This Role Exists

Our current platform has suffered from typical agency issues - too many plugins, fragile updates, and performance limitations.

We're fixing that properly.

We need a developer who understands how e-commerce sites actually behave in production - not just how to build them.

The Role

You'll be working on a live WooCommerce platform and supporting the build of a second B2B site.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Implementing features across front-end and back-end

  • Fixing bugs and improving stability

  • Supporting performance improvements

  • Maintaining clean, reliable code

  • Managing updates safely (no breaking live site)

  • Supporting checkout, payments, and order flows

You'll work under clear technical direction from a senior consultant.

Requirements

2-5 years experience with WordPress / WooCommerce

  • Hands-on experience working on live e-commerce stores

  • Good understanding of:

  • PHP

  • JavaScript

  • MySQL

  • Experience working with:

  • checkout flows

  • payment gateways

  • shipping / order logic

  • Comfortable debugging real issues on production systems

What Matters Most

  • You understand that breaking a live site costs money

  • You work carefully and test changes properly

  • You don't rely on plugins for everything

  • You're comfortable working within a structured setup, If you have real experience working on live e-commerce stores and want to be part of that, we'd like to hear from you.

  • Ability to work independently as well as collaboratively within a team environment; excellent organisational skills are essential.
  • Relevant qualifications in Computer Science or related fields are preferred but not mandatory. Join our team to contribute to innovative projects that push the boundaries of web development while enhancing your skills within a supportive environment committed to excellence.
