About Us
Polymorphic is a software development company that builds high-performance, scalable web solutions for startups, agencies, and enterprises. We specialize in delivering both custom and platform-based systems with an emphasis on maintainability, speed, and clean architecture.

About the Role
We’re looking for a Senior WordPress Developer with deep expertise in both modern and classic WordPress development. You should be comfortable using popular page builders like Elementor, Divi, and WP Bakery—but also capable of building fully custom themes using Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) and WordPress’ native APIs.

You’ll work closely with our design team to convert Figma designs into fully dynamic, editable WordPress themes that empower clients to manage their own content. A strong understanding of WordPress’ template hierarchy, custom post types, performance optimization, and caching strategies is critical. You must also be experienced with Git-based version control, working locally using WP Local, and migrating sites across environments.

Strong PHP skills are essential. You should be confident extending WordPress functionality using hooks, filters, and clean custom code.

While not required, candidates with design skills are strongly preferred. If you can take a rough idea and turn it into a polished layout—then build it—we’d love to hear from you.

This role requires availability during standard working hours in the Pacific Timezone (PST/PDT). All work is managed in Jira and communication is handled in Slack. We bill clients hourly, so you must be highly organized and enter your time daily with accurate notes.

Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain custom WordPress themes using ACF and WordPress APIs
  • Convert Figma designs into pixel-perfect, dynamic, and editable WordPress themes
  • Use page builders like Elementor, Divi, and WP Bakery when appropriate
  • Write clean, modular code with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP
  • Set up and work in local development environments (e.g., WP Local)
  • Migrate WordPress sites between servers and environments
  • Perform regular WordPress core, theme, and plugin updates
  • Implement caching and performance optimization strategies
  • Use Git for version control and team collaboration
  • Track hours daily and enter timesheets with detailed task notes in Jira
  • Communicate effectively with team members via Slack
  • Troubleshoot bugs and compatibility issues across devices and browsers

Requirements

  • 5+ years of hands-on WordPress development experience
  • Expert knowledge of PHP, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
  • Deep understanding of WordPress’ template hierarchy and architecture
  • Experience with custom post types, taxonomies, and ACF
  • Strong grasp of caching and optimization techniques for performance
  • Proficiency in local development tools (e.g., WP Local)
  • Experience migrating WordPress sites between hosting environments
  • Comfortable using Git for source control and collaboration
  • Must be organized and diligent with time tracking and task management in Jira
  • Must be available during Pacific Timezone working hours

Nice to Have

  • Design experience or strong design sensibility
  • WooCommerce development
  • Familiarity with headless WordPress (Next.js, Gatsby)
  • Experience with managed hosting platforms like WP Engine, Kinsta, or Cloudways

Why Work With Us

  • Fully remote and flexible work environment
  • Collaborative, talented team with high technical standards
  • Diverse and meaningful projects across industries
  • Emphasis on performance, quality, and long-term maintainability
  • Clear expectations, efficient workflows, and respect for your time
