Thank you! NOTICE:   For Privacy Policy please review here Job Responsibilities: Welocalize is looking for a WordPress Developer to bring website maintenance and backend development in-house across our six brand sites: welocalize.com, welodata.ai, parkip.com, adaptworldwide.com, welolifesciences.com, and weloglobal.com. This work currently sits with an outside agency and we're looking for someone who can own it internally — with faster turnaround, better institutional knowledge, and closer collaboration with our Marketing and front-end teams. The platform is a WordPress Multisite environment. You'll work alongside an internal front-end developer who handles content management, page building, and UX — your focus is the backend: keeping the platform healthy, building custom functionality, and managing deployments. Key Responsibilities Keep all six brand sites up to date — security patches, plugin updates, and core updates on a routine and emergency basis.

Serve as the internal point of contact for WordPress-related technical requests, triaging and prioritising work coming from Marketing and other teams. Handle day-to-day development requests: bug fixes, small feature builds, and plugin configuration. Build and maintain custom Gutenberg blocks (PHP + JS) and handle PHP theme modifications as needed. Manage the Webpack-based build process and SCSS structure for the shared theme. Own the deployment pipeline — Git-based deployments across Dev, Test, and Live on Pantheon — and review front-end changes before they go live. Set up and configure hosting environments, domain onboarding, and SSL on Pantheon. Maintain third-party integrations — forms, GTM, translation connectors, and APIs. Respond to critical incidents: site down, data loss, or security breach across any brand site. Conduct accessibility technical reviews (axe DevTools, screen reader testing) and implement approved fixes. Build and maintain internal technical documentation — this role replaces an outside agency, so knowledge retention matters from day one. Additional Job Details: REQUIREMENTS Education/Experience 3+ years of WordPress development experience, ideally including Multisite environments. Solid PHP skills and hands-on experience with Gutenberg block development (PHP + JS). Comfortable with SCSS/CSS, BEM methodology, and a build tool such as Webpack. Familiar with WordPress security fundamentals — patching, hardening, vulnerability response. Experience with Git and…
