Careers / WordPress Developer
WordPress Developer
STRATUSstaff is looking for WordPress developers who want more than theme tweaks forever. Take requirements to finished results, deepen your craft, and grow into owning sites, integrations, and technical delivery inside a POD.
What you could work on
Depending on your skills and the projects available, your work could include:
- Theme and block-based builds
- Plugins, forms, and site administration
- APIs and third-party integrations
- Performance and responsive troubleshooting
- Maintainable changes without leaving landmines
- Documentation teammates and clients can follow
- Partnering with content and ops roles
- Raising the quality bar for how we ship WordPress
The STRATUSstaff way
STRATUSstaff is built around small teams of three that we call PODS. Three people should operate as a team, share information, support each other, and collectively take responsibility for results. That means we care about how you work as much as the individual tasks you complete.
If you see something that needs attention, we want you to think about it — not simply decide that it is not “your task.”
- Read and follow written instructions
- Communicate clearly and keep the team informed
- Document work so others can continue without you
- Research before immediately asking for help
- Follow through on commitments
- Raise problems before they become emergencies
- Look for what needs to happen next
- Take responsibility for results — not only “your task”
Who we're looking for
Solid WordPress experience plus HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP is valuable. Comfort with Gutenberg/blocks, plugins, and responsive builds matters. Custom development and APIs are a plus — learning mindset is required.
- Strong written English and clear professional communication
- Previous professional work experience
- Reliable remote setup and solid computer / research skills
- Attention to detail and personal accountability
- Ability to work independently and inside a small POD
- Willingness to learn tools you do not already know
- Evidence of WordPress work you have owned end to end
- Good debugging instincts and clear written English
- Comfort reading docs before asking for help
The career opportunity
Someone might begin on scoped site work. Then own a client site stack. Then lead integrations and standards. Then mentor others or guide POD technical delivery. We notice builders who finish and document.
We cannot promise where that path will lead. What we can offer is an environment where initiative, learning, reliability, and leadership are noticed. Our goal is to find people who can grow from remote professionals into specialists, project owners, and leaders.
There is a difference between a job and an opportunity
If your only question is about today’s task list, STRATUSstaff may not be the right environment. If you are thinking about learning, ownership, and becoming more valuable, we want to meet you.
A job mindset
- “What tasks will you give me today?”
- Waiting to be told the next step
- Doing only what is explicitly assigned
An opportunity mindset
- “What can I learn?”
- “What can I become responsible for?”
- “How can I make this process better?”
- “What does the team need next?”
- “How can I become more valuable?”
