4. Build and customize WordPress themes—ensuring responsive, performant, and accessible front-end implementations.
5. Collaborate with designers, content strategists, and DevOps to translate IA and wireframes into working code.
6. Manage code in Git repositories, participate in code reviews, branch strategies, and resolve merge conflicts.
7. Troubleshoot and optimize WordPress performance, including PHP, JS, and database layers.
8. Document code, block patterns, and deployment processes for team use.

1. Bachelor’s degree in computer science or related field.
2. 3 years of professional WordPress development experience.
