• Collaborate with ecommerce, marketing, and business stakeholders to understand requirements, translate needs into technical solutions, and deliver reliable software that supports online revenue.
• Participate in the full software development lifecycle, including solution design, development, testing, troubleshooting, deployment support, and continuous improvement.

• Strong proficiency with PHP 8.x and the Word Press plugin and theme development model, including hooks, filters, custom post types, and the WP REST API.

• Familiarity with Git, code review practices, Composer, WP-CLI, and modern deployment workflows across staging and production environments.
• Practical experience using AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code, Git Hub Copilot, or Cursor to accelerate delivery, with the judgment to review, test, and take ownership of the code they produce.
• Excellent problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills, with a practical understanding of how technical choices affect customer experience and business outcomes.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field preferred; equivalent practical experience considered.
