  • Build, customize, and optimize WordPress themes and plugins (including custom post types, hooks, filters, REST API).
  • Develop and customize Shopify stores (Liquid, theme customization, app integrations).
  • Integrate third-party APIs and services (payment gateways, marketing tools, CRM, etc.).
  • Write clean, secure, scalable, and well-documented code.
  • Use AI tools to:
  • Speed up coding and refactoring
  • Generate boilerplate code and tests
  • Assist in debugging and research
  • Collaborate with frontend devs, designers, and product managers to deliver complete features.
  • Optimize performance, security, and reliability across platforms.
  • Troubleshoot production issues and implement long-term fixes.
  • Stay updated with new technologies, frameworks, and best practices, and be ready to adopt new platforms when needed.

  • Strong PHP skills, including OOP and modern PHP standards.
  • Deep experience with WordPress:

  • Hooks, filters, template hierarchy
  • WP REST API, custom post types, taxonomies
  • Strong experience with Shopify:
  • Liquid templates
  • Theme customization
  • App integrations and basic app development
  • Solid JavaScript skills:
  • Strong grasp of vanilla JS
  • Experience with at least one modern frontend framework (React, Vue, or similar) is a plus.
  • Comfortable using AI tools in your workflow (for code generation, refactoring, documentation, testing, etc.).
  • Solid understanding of REST APIs, HTTP, and JSON.
  • Experience with Git and collaborative workflows (branches, PRs, code reviews).
  • Experience working with databases (MySQL or similar) and writing efficient queries.
  • Familiarity with security best practices (XSS, CSRF, SQL injection prevention).

What We’re Looking For (Mindset & Traits)
