About Thunk
Thunk is a Digital Innovation & AI company based in Kings Cross, London. We work with forward-thinking organisations — from FIFA and Google to the NHS and McDonald''s — to help them discover, prove, and deliver breakthrough digital experiences. We don''t do theory. We deliver impact.We''re building internal tooling to support our growing content operation, and we need a sharp developer to bring it to life.
The Role
We''re building a fully automated content publishing pipeline that connects Notion (our single source of truth) to WordPress (our publish target). Authors write in Notion automation handles the rest — HTML conversion, image processing, SEO metadata, and publishing — without anyone ever logging into WordPress.You''ll own the build end-to-end: from WordPress CPT registration to n8n workflow wiring to the Node.js microservice at the heart of the pipeline. A detailed spec covering every phase, field mapping, and edge case is ready and waiting. You''re the person who executes it.
What You''ll Build
Content Publishing Pipeline
- Notion → WordPress one-directional publish flow, triggered by status changes
- Automated handling for three content types: Thinking (articles, videos, whitepapers), Jargon Busters (SEO glossary), and Stories (case studies — manual only)
- Staging and production environment toggle inside n8n
Node.js Microservice
- Notion block → HTML conversion
- Image download from Notion (expiring URLs) and re-upload to WordPress Media Library
- URL swapping in generated HTML
- Slug-based deduplication via WordPress REST API (resilient to partial failures)
n8n Workflow Automation
- Self-hosted on a Hetzner VPS
- Watches Notion for status changes, orchestrates the full pipeline
- Optional cross-posting to Medium and Dev.to with canonical URLs
- Manual-assist LinkedIn flow: generates a Todoist task with everything needed to paste and publish
- Error handling writes back to Notion (status + error message) so the team sees failures without touching n8n
WordPress Configuration
- Custom Post Type registration
- ACF Pro field groups for all content types
- RankMath Free SEO/OG metadata — written via REST API
- Related terms (Jargon Busters) stored as slugs in Notion, resolved to WP Post IDs at publish time

Must-Have Skills
What We''re Looking For
- Node.js — comfortable building and maintaining microservices
- WordPress REST API — field mapping, CPT registration, ACF, RankMath
- n8n — workflow building, error handling, multi-environment config
- Notion API — reading databases, writing back status and metadata
- REST API integrations — Medium, Dev.to, Todoist
- 6–8 years of professional development experience
Nice to Have
- Experience with self-hosted infrastructure (Hetzner, Linux VPS)
- Familiarity with ACF Pro and RankMath via API
- Prior work on content or publishing automation systems
How You Work
- You read a spec and execute it — you don''t need to be handheld
- You write clean, maintainable code and document what matters
- You flag blockers early and communicate clearly
- You care about reliability — this pipeline will run unattended in production
How The Build Is Sequenced
We have a phased approach to de-risk the build and validate the full pipeline early:
- Phase 1 — WordPress setup: CPT registration, ACF field groups, RankMath config
- Phase 2 — Notion database setup: schemas, field mapping, status conventions
- Phase 3 — Node.js microservice: conversion, image handling, slug deduplication
- Phase 4 — Jargon Busters pipeline: simpler content type, validates end-to-end flow
- Phase 5 — Thinking pipeline: full content type with cross-posting to Medium and Dev.to
- Phase 6 — LinkedIn manual-assist flow and polish
