Job Level
About the role
- Implement a custom WordPress theme (based on _s) with clean, componentized templates, translating annotated Figma designs into production-ready HTML/CSS/JS.
- Model content with ACF Pro (repeaters, options pages, field validation) and connect it to dynamic theme views.
- Build responsive, reusable sections (e.g., hero, grids, accordions, tabs, sliders, forms) with keyboard/focus support and enforce accessibility best practices (WCAG 2.0 AA, semantic structure, ARIA, reduced-motion).
- Optimize performance (Core Web Vitals), including image handling, lazy loading, CLS prevention, caching-friendly markup, and ensure proper integration of Gravity Forms and GTM/GA4 tracking.
- Collaborate with QA on cross-browser/device compliance, resolve defects quickly, contribute to a lightweight design system, and follow code reviews, branching, CI practices, and ticket visibility.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience building custom WordPress themes (not limited to page builders), with strong proficiency in PHP and WordPress query optimization.
- Expertise in semantic HTML, modern CSS (Grid, Flexbox, custom properties), and vanilla JavaScript/TypeScript.
- Strong experience with ACF Pro (repeaters, options pages, and structured data modeling) and familiarity with Gutenberg block development.
- Solid understanding of accessibility best practices (focus management, ARIA patterns for components like accordions, tabs, and menus) and responsive, cross-browser development across modern desktop and mobile devices (iOS/Android).
- Experience with performance optimization (image handling, srcset, lazy loading, minimizing layout shift, and practical Lighthouse improvements) and building UI elements such as megamenus and sticky headers.
- Familiarity with Git and CI workflows, including pull requests and pipelines, as well as integrating GA4 via GTM, cookie consent solutions, and basic consent mode implementations
