Wordpress Developer
Chrome Brains, Pakistan
Job Description
ChromeBrains is looking to grow its first-class WordPress development team, and is seeking to hire a full time, aspiring PHP programmer with the desire to become a top shelf WordPress theme and plug-in engineer.
Qualifications
Experience building custom WordPress themes and plug-ins and using the WordPress API is a major plus, but non-essential. Good fundamental programming skills, with at least basic experience writing PHP code is a must. Basic familiarity with MySQL and HTML/CSS is important; applicants with stronger HTML/CSS skills will be highly preferred. Experience with JavaScript, and ideally, frameworks like jQuery is also highly desirable.
Candidates with strong communication and time management skills will also be highly preferred. In order for the candidate to grow beyond a basic developer, the ability to effectively coordinate directly with multiple clients in a given week is essential.
While Chromebrains WordPress team will be on hand to mentor and assist the new developer, the right candidate would have a self-starter attitude with an aptitude for independently researching and implementing solutions.
Job Specification
The developer will support a wide variety of programming projects that use WordPress as the underlying platform. Projects will typically focus on plug-in and theme development for both self-hosted WordPress installs and WordPress.com VIP clients. While the projects will primarily entail server-side PHP programming, they will invariably require some level of client-side programming, including HTML/CSS and JavaScript.
The developer will typically be assigned several deadlines over a given period, and is expected to effectively manage his or her time to meet those deadlines.
