Strong candidates typically have: * Fluency in WordPress, with experience building both traditional themes and Gutenberg block themes * Comfort working with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript Experience translating design references (Figma or similar) into accurate, responsive, production-ready code * Familiarity with Git workflows and collaborative development practices * Experience working within a continuous deployment or CI/CD pipeline * Experience working with tools like Claude Code, Copilot, or Codex * An eye for detail and a commitment to clean, maintainable code Excellent written and verbal communication skills * Fluent English for written and spoken communication * Bonus points: + Experience building custom Gutenberg blocks + Experience with React or similar component-based frameworks + Experience working in a multi-client or agency environment ## Description * Build websites and site features from design references, using industry-standard code and best practices * Develop and maintain WordPress block themes using Gutenberg, templates, parts, patterns, and theme.json configuration * Work with traditional WordPress themes when needed, and occasionally with other page builder platforms * Write clean, well-structured HTML, CSS, and JavaScript * Build or extend front-end functionality using React or similar component-based approaches when the project calls for it * Use Git and GitHub for version control, following team branching and code review conventions * Work within a continuous deployment workflow, ensuring changes move smoothly and safely from development to production * Troubleshoot cross-browser and cross-device issues to ensure consistent, polished results * Collaborate with designers, project managers, and strategists to bring projects to life * Look for new and more efficient ways to deliver our work, whether that's through better tooling, reusable components, or refined processes * Contribute to internal documentation, component libraries, and knowledge sharing * Stay current with WordPress, Gutenberg, and front-end development trends and best practices, * You prefer 100% concrete specs handed to you with no ambiguity and no changes. We do our best to provide final, locked designs and specs, but things inevitably change as a project progresses * You're not interested in learning or working within Gutenberg block themes * You'd rather work solo than collaborate with designers, PMs, and strategists * You're reluctant to incorporate AI into your workflow Front-end development here is a mix of code and configuration, and often requires curiosity, flexibility, and a willingness to find the most efficient path to a great result. ## Related Videos - [Watch Tests Go Brrrr! : Getting Started with Cypress in ReactJS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/282-watch-tests-go-brrrr-getting-started-with-cypress-in-reactjs) - [Boost Productivity with AI: Figma & Playwright MCP Workflows - Aris Markogiannakis](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1768-boost-productivity-with-ai-figma-playwright-mcp-workflows-aris-markogiannakis) - [The Resilience of the World Wide Web](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1281-the-resilience-of-the-world-wide-web) - [Kill Your WordPress.
