Job Description
We are looking for a hands-on Web Developer who can take Figma designs and turn them into fully functioning, production-ready websites using WordPress or similar platforms. This role is primarily code-focused, not design-focused.
Beyond development, you will also own the technical health of the websites—including hosting management, performance optimization, security, and troubleshooting live issues.
This is a role for someone who builds, launches, and maintains real websites end-to-end.
Key Responsibilities
Website Development
- Convert Figma designs into fully functional, responsive websites
- Develop custom WordPress themes or modify existing themes using clean, structured code
- Write and maintain HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP as required
- Ensure cross-browser compatibility and mobile responsiveness
- Integrate plugins, forms, analytics, tracking tools, and third-party services
Hosting & Technical Management
- Set up and manage hosting environments (shared, VPS, or managed hosting)
- Monitor website performance, uptime, and stability
- Troubleshoot and resolve:
- Website slowdowns
- Server or hosting issues
- Plugin/theme conflicts
- Website crashes or errors
Performance, Security & Reliability
- Optimize website speed using caching, CDNs, and best practices
- Implement basic security hardening and protection against:
- Bot attacks
- Spam
- Brute-force attempts
- Perform updates, backups, and routine maintenance
- Ensure websites remain stable during updates and changes
Required Skills & Experience
- Proven experience developing websites using WordPress or similar CMS platforms
- Strong ability to convert Figma designs into live websites
- Solid understanding of HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, WordPress architecture (themes, plugins, hooks)
- Experience working with hosting panels and environments (cPanel, Cloudways, WP Engine, etc.)
- Ability to debug and solve real-world website issues independently
- Good understanding of website performance and security fundamentals
Nice to Have (Bonus Skills)
- Experience with Figma and basic UI/UX understanding
- Experience with custom PHP development or headless WordPress
- Familiarity with SEO best practices and analytics tools
- Experience working across multiple industries and project types
What This Role Is NOT
- Not a UI/UX or graphic design role
- Not a heavy backend or software engineering role
- Not a drag-and-drop, page-builder-only position
This role is about building and owning websites technically.
What We’re Looking For
- A developer who takes ownership of their work
- Someone comfortable working on live, production websites
- Strong problem-solving mindset with attention to detail
- Ability to work independently and collaborate with internal teams
What You’ll Get
- Exposure to websites across multiple industries
- Ownership of end-to-end web development projects
- A role focused on real technical skill and responsibility
- Competitive compensation based on experience and capability
