Powered by high-frequency data pipelines and custom architecture, they provide real-time trading insights, dynamic charts, and exclusive community resources to paying members in a fast-moving market environment.\nThey are powered by a lean, execution-focused team with a proven product, active subscribers, and a clear product roadmap. As an agile company scaling its technology, they offer an environment where independent engineers can make an immediate, high-visibility impact while working alongside technical leadership.\nWe are looking for a WordPress Implementation Engineer to join the engineering team and take ownership of platform deployment, maintenance, security, and operational stability. This role sits at the critical intersection of platform reliability, third-party integrations, and subscriber support. You will work directly with the Technical Lead to execute technical specs, keep the platform healthy between releases, and ensure seamless delivery of real-time trading data to members.\nWhat You’ll Do\nImplement and Deploy Features: Execute implementation plans from written specs and checklists. Write, test, and debug code across a proprietary family of custom plugins, ensuring seamless releases on staging before deploying to production.\n\nManage Platform Health and Maintenance: Own the technical release calendar, managing routine WordPress core, plugin, and infrastructure updates alongside backup verification and database sanity checks.\n\nMaintain Security and Infrastructure Standards: Enforce strict security protocols including input sanitization, nonces, cap checks, secret management, rate limiting, WAF rules, and access control on custom REST endpoints.\n\nTriage Front-Line Technical Issues: Act as the primary technical contact for member access issues, billing anomalies (MemberPress/Stripe), SSO glitches, and session bugs. Resolve routine issues directly and escalate complex defects with actionable technical write-ups.\n\nRun Post-Release Verification: Perform systematic regression testing across critical member journeys-including checkout, SSO, course progression, and community features-after every deployment.\n\nSupport Next-Gen Data Pipelines: Partner with the Technical Lead to maintain and integrate external Python microservices and real-time streaming architectures (Massive.com WebSockets, Firebase Firestore/RTDB) delivering high-frequency market data.\n\nMaintain Platform Runbooks: Build clear, standardized technical documentation and runbooks to guarantee platform operability and continuity.\n\nMust have tools:\nFirebase\n\nMemberPress\n\nBuddyBoss\n\nOAuth / SSO\n\nWho You Are\nExperienced WordPress Developer: 4+ years of hands-on experience working with advanced WordPress internals (hooks, REST APIs, custom routing, capabilities, transients, object caching).\n\nData Model & Plugin Specialist: Proficient with custom data modeling at scale (specifically JetEngine CPTs, meta fields, relations, and REST writes) and comfortable inspecting direct SQL databases (phpMyAdmin).\n\nMembership & Billing Expert: Demonstrated experience supporting production membership sites, with deep knowledge of MemberPress and Stripe integration troubleshooting.\n\nSecurity-Minded Engineering Mindset: Natural instinct to validate/sanitize input, secure REST endpoints, protect auth flows, and treat billing and SSO systems with high-risk rigor.\n\nProactive Problem Solver: Self-starter capable of root-cause analysis in complex ETL/API setups without hand-holding. You prefer surgical edits over unnecessary rewrites and test thoroughly on staging first.\n\nExceptional Technical Communicator: Advanced written and spoken English skills, able to translate technical root-causes clearly for non-technical team members and stakeholders.\n\nBonus Points:\nPython-based microservices.\n\nHands-on experience with financial market data APIs (Massive/Polygon REST & WebSockets).","description_format":"text","description_chars":4016,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["IT Outsourcing & Dedicated Teams","IT Staffing & Staff Augmentation"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-13T20:28:27Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":55,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.733,"p_room":0.75,"age_days":36,"expected_fill_days":46,"reasons":["conf:1","win:late"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/devsavant-wordpress-implementation-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/devsavant-wordpress-implementation-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-18T01:56:09Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3127,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-19T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":6778},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=6778"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fdevsavant-wordpress-implementation-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fdevsavant-wordpress-implementation-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fdevsavant-wordpress-implementation-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/devsavant-wordpress-implementation-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fdevsavant-wordpress-implementation-engineer"}]}
