## About the Role

* Experience with hosting platforms: Kinsta, WP Engine, Cloudways, SiteGround

## Description

* Build pixel-perfect, responsive websites from Figma designs - no approximations, no 'close enough'
 * Develop custom WordPress themes and templates from scratch - not just Elementor configurations
 * Build and maintain landing pages, microsites, and campaign pages at speed - one page per day is the baseline, not the ceiling
 * Integrate third-party APIs: CRMs, marketing automation tools, analytics platforms, form handlers
 * Work in Webflow when clients require it - you don't need to be an expert but you can't be a beginner
 * Write clean, commented code that another developer can pick up without a 45-minute handover call

Web Ops & Maintenance (40%):

 * Own L1 and L2 incident response: site down, pages not loading, SSL errors, plugin conflicts, DB connection failures, frontend breaking due to plugin conflicts, SEO hack attacks, PHP mismatch, builder conflicts - you have a diagnostic process and you run it
 * Manage server-side configuration: hosting environments, caching layers (Redis, Varnish, WP Super Cache), CDN setup, PHP and MySQL tuning
 * Own website performance: Core Web Vitals, GTmetrix/PageSpeedInsight scores, image optimisation (WebP, lazy loading, compression), and caching strategy
 * Manage WordPress multisite setups where required for multi-lingual or multi-geography sites
 * Run and verify staging-to-production deployments - you don't push untested code to live
 * Keep plugins, themes, and core updated without breaking things - you test before you update
 * Own DNS management and domain configurations when clients need changes
 * Set up and maintain uptime monitoring - you know when a site goes down before the client does

Technical Requirements

Must-Have

 * WordPress: custom theme dev from Figma, hooks/filters, child themes
 * Page builders: Elementor and/or Divi - know when to use them and when not to
 * PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript - not a full-stack dev but comfortable in all four
 * Basic React/JS - enough to build interactive components and integrate headless setups
 * Server management: cPanel/Plesk/WHM, SSH, FTP, DNS configuration, shared and VPS servers, 1Panel, Cloudflare, DigitalOcean, Hostinger
 * Performance optimisation: Core Web Vitals, image formats, caching, CDN
 * Multisite WordPress setup and management
 * API integrations: REST APIs, webhooks, third-party plugin development
 * Git-based version control and staging/production workflows
 * SSL certificate installation and renewal

Strong Advantage

 * Webflow - build and manage sites, not just edit content
 * WooCommerce - setup, configuration, and troubleshooting
 * Headless WordPress with React front-end
 * Basic SEO technical implementation: schema markup, sitemap setup, robots.txt, redirect management
 * Google Search Console and GTmetrix - can read a report and act on it, * Variety: no two client sites are the same - SaaS, climate tech, enterprise software, all with different stacks and different problems
 * Ownership: you're not a ticket-taker. You make the technical calls.
 * Remote, async-first: your output matters more than when you're online
 * Speed over bureaucracy: decisions get made fast, you won't wait two weeks for approval to fix something
 * Work that actually ships: no 6-month projects that die in review
