This work currently sits with an outside agency and we're looking for someone who can own it internally - with faster turnaround, better institutional knowledge, and closer collaboration with our Marketing and front-end teams.The platform is a WordPress Multisite environment. You'll work alongside an internal front-end developer who handles content management, page building, and UX - your focus is the backend: keeping the platform healthy, building custom functionality, and managing deployments.\nKey Responsibilities\nKeep all six brand sites up to date - security patches, plugin updates, and core updates on a routine and emergency basis.\nMonitor site health, uptime, and performance; coordinate with our hosting provider (Pantheon) on backups, restores, and incident response.\nServe as the internal point of contact for WordPress-related technical requests, triaging and prioritising work coming from Marketing and other teams.\nHandle day-to-day development requests: bug fixes, small feature builds, and plugin configuration.\nBuild and maintain custom Gutenberg blocks (PHP + JS) and handle PHP theme modifications as needed.\nManage the Webpack-based build process and SCSS structure for the shared theme.\nOwn the deployment pipeline - Git-based deployments across Dev, Test, and Live on Pantheon - and review front-end changes before they go live.\nSet up and configure hosting environments, domain onboarding, and SSL on Pantheon.\nMaintain third-party integrations - forms, GTM, translation connectors, and APIs.\nRespond to critical incidents: site down, data loss, or security breach across any brand site.\nConduct accessibility technical reviews (axe DevTools, screen reader testing) and implement approved fixes.\nBuild and maintain internal technical documentation - this role replaces an outside agency, so knowledge retention matters from day one.\nAdditional Job Details:\nREQUIREMENTS\nEducation/Experience\n3+ years of WordPress development experience, ideally including Multisite environments.\nSolid PHP skills and hands-on experience with Gutenberg block development (PHP + JS).\nComfortable with SCSS/CSS, BEM methodology, and a build tool such as Webpack.\nFamiliar with WordPress security fundamentals - patching, hardening, vulnerability response.\nExperience with Git and staging/production deployment workflows.\nGood communicator - you'll work closely with Marketing, front-end, and IT and need to translate technical issues clearly.\nAdditional Qualifications\nExperience with Pantheon or a comparable managed WordPress hosting platform.\nFamiliarity with multilingual WordPress setups (MultilingualPress, WPML, or similar).\nExperience with Composer for PHP dependency management.\nWorking knowledge of DNS, domain configuration, and SSL basics.\nExposure to translation management integrations (Phrase, Smartling, or similar).","description_format":"text","description_chars":3510,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Translation Services","AI Training Data & Annotation"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-23T09:12:57Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":30,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.666,"p_room":0.45,"age_days":45,"expected_fill_days":25,"reasons":["conf:9","velocity","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-24T06:02:35Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/welocalize-wordpress-developer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/welocalize-wordpress-developer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-24T12:35:00Z","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":18112,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-25T00:00:00Z"}},"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":1937083},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1937083"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fwelocalize-wordpress-developer"},{"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%2Fwelocalize-wordpress-developer"},{"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%2Fwelocalize-wordpress-developer"},{"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/welocalize-wordpress-developer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fwelocalize-wordpress-developer"}]}
