Senior WordPress Developer, Full Time, Long Term

We are an Australian branding and marketing agency managing around 30 WordPress sites for our clients. We are hiring an experienced, motivated WordPress developer to maintain our existing sites and build our new sites.

The role has two parts.

1. Builds and amendments.
New sites and pages from finished designs, plus the day to day queue: content updates, blog posts, events, forms, and on page SEO on everything you publish.

2. Maintenance and security.
Backups, uptime, security hardening, and fixing whatever breaks. Routine plugin updates are handled by another developer, so your focus is the standard, the response, and the builds.

If running a fleet of WordPress websites properly sounds like a job you would actually enjoy, keep reading.

You should have:

WordPress

• 5 or more years of professional WordPress development.
• Strong page builder skills. We use a modern visual builder; if you are good in Elementor, Divi or similar, you will pick ours up quickly.
• Comfortable using ACF and custom fields.
• Solid WordPress security knowledge and good on page SEO habits.

Development

• PHP and JavaScript you can genuinely read and write.
• Methodical debugging when a live site breaks.
• Experience with AI coding tools such as Claude Code or Cursor is a plus. We use them daily.
• Experience building automation systems in tools like Go High Level and Notion is a plus.

How you work

• An incredible eye for detail and for checking over your own work.
• Excellent written English.

Practical

• A reliable computer and a backup internet connection. An Apple Mac is preferred but not essential.
• Available to start within four weeks.

The offer

• Full time, Monday to Friday. Philippine daytime hours work well with our timezone.
• $1,200 to $1,600 USD per month, depending on experience.
• Paid monthly on the 5th of each month.
• Philippine regular holidays, 10 days paid leave, and 13th month pay after your first year.
• Salary review at 12 months.
• Fully remote, long term role.
• The option to work 6 hours a day instead of 8, salary pro rata.

To apply

There are two steps. We only interview candidates who complete both, and interview invitations are based on your application and your assessment results together.

Step 1.

Apply here on OnlineJobs.ph with the word 'Mango' in your subject line. Start your application by answering the below questions:

1. How many years of professional WordPress development experience do you have?
2. How many years of professional development experience do you have in total?
3. A client site shows a white screen after an update. What are your first five steps?
4. Have you built anything with an AI coding tool? Tell us about the coolest thing: what does it do, and how did you build it? (Optional, but we love seeing this.)

Then include links to three WordPress sites you built or maintain, with a note on what you did on each.

Step 2.

Complete our online assessment. It takes around one hour: ----------

Please complete the assessment yourself, without AI tools. The system detects assisted answers and disqualifies them.

We will not review applications without a completed assessment.

Please contact us only through OnlineJobs.ph; WhatsApp and email applications are ignored.

Good luck!
