We are looking for an experienced and passionate WordPress Developer to join our team!
We build our apps on a WordPress backend and also build some client websites connected to the same WordPress DB as the apps. Working with the app developers to update code existing code base and improve quality of meditation apps for our existing estate and also get stuck in on an upcoming new app and website we are in the process of planning and building.
As a WordPress Developer at Interconnected, you will be responsible for both back-end and front-end development, including creating WordPress themes and plugins, managing WordPress infrastructure and site security.
We are expecting you to have a strong understanding of latest industry trends and content management systems.
We are a small, but growing team and albeit the role is primarily WordPress Development, we do need someone who is happy to work flexibly with other areas, such as some support, some app publishing to app stores and replying to user feedback and so on. Longer term as the team grows, those positions will have dedicated staff. We have the start-up approach that we “can do” anything if we put our minds to it and try to do it with a smile. We want you to join the team and feel a part of that approach.
