Posted 2 years ago
We’re looking for full-stack developers to build WordPress themes, plugins and develop our API driven products.

Bizink is a leading provider of websites and digital marketing services to professional service firms across the world.

A typical week would consist of some or all of the following:

  • Driving product strategy
  • Coding themes created by our designer
  • Developing our plugin and its add-ons which is driven by the WordPress REST API
  • Working on our Laravel based email marketing app
  • Helping the support team with bugs and technical issues

Other responsibilities would include:

  • Technical support and enhancement of our own WooCommerce website
  • Keeping up to date with WordPress and the plugin stack we use

Required skills:
  • Front-end technologies including CSS, JavaScript, HTML, and jQuery
  • Experience of building WordPress themes and plugins from scratch
  • GitHub

Important skills:

  • Experience working with AWS (EC2, S3, RDS)
  • Adobe XD and other Creative Suite apps
  • WooCommerce

Nice to have skills:

  • Experience working with the WordPress REST API
  • Knowledge of the technical side of SEO
  • Experience with the plugins Advanced Custom Fields and Gravity Forms
  • Knowledge of Laravel

We’re looking for strategic thinkers, who are organised, have great communication skills and enjoy building products that customers love.

Ideally, you’ll live and breathe WordPress and have built a number of themes and plugins in the past.

We do a weekly sprint and currently have two other developers in the team. You’ll report directly to the CEO who is also the product owner.

You’ll be working across several projects at once. We’ve got systems and software to help you but you’ll still need to be organised and have good attention to detail. And as you’ll be working from home, being able to work under your own initiative is essential.

Preferably full time but would consider part time for the right person. Flexible and remote working between 7am and 7pm NZ time.
