TeamUpdraft is the global team behind some of the most popular WordPress plugins in the world! Used by more than 5 million WordPress website owners, our plugins have a reputation for being reliable and powerful. 

Web Developer

As a freelancer, you will have the option to choose your own hours up to 40 per week, and you can work remotely from anywhere in the world. We simply ask that you have 4 hours of crossover with UK working hours per day. 

The Job

You will be responsible for working on our website and WooCommerce related plugins, working together with a small, global team involved in development and testing.

The day-to-day role

• Collaborate with the team on our codebase to implement new features, bug fixes and improvements
• Work in PHP, JavaScript and WordPress libraries to write clean, efficient and secure code
• Write inline documentation for your code
• Test and produce testing guides for your code
• Manage your own time to fulfil your tasks
• Research / debug problems on your own or in collaboration with other developers and our support team

Your exact responsibilities will depend on your experience and how this fits with the work being done by other members of the team.

Requirements

You’ll definitely need experience with:

1. PHP – with experience of the latest frameworks and libraries.
2. WordPress plugin development.
3. WooCommerce development.

It would be nice if you have experience with:

1. JavaScript / jQuery.
2. GitHub / GitLab / Git – nice to have, but can be learnt quickly by good developers used to alternatives like SVN.
3. React.

Benefits

• Trust -

  We trust our employees to work autonomously. You won’t be micromanaged but will be free to use your time as effectively as possible to get your job done in your unique and individual style.

• Flexibility -

  You can choose to work from the comfort of your own home or, if you’re local, come to our shared workspace in Newport, Wales. For those who aren’t local, feel free to find a shared workspace close to you and we’ll pick up the tab. Some of us prefer the traditional arrangement of 9-5 working, and others don’t.  You can work your hours to suit you.  All we ask is that you are able to commit to a 4 hour crossover with the UK timezone so you’re available to collaborate with the team!

• Development opportunities -

  We are committed to investing in all of our employees and we are supportive of personal development and training. We see personal development as part of your day to day role so training and courses are all considered part of your working day. In some cases, we can also fund the cost of paid courses if they are relevant and benefit your role.
