Introduction

Come work at SiteCare as a WordPress Developer, building, maintaining, and improving websites in meaningful ways. We’re passionate about the web, open source, and delivering a first-in-class client experience.

We serve many clients from startups to large well-known brands serving tens of millions of website visitors every month.

Candidate qualities

Before we dive into code and your day-to-day, there are a few things that are vitally important for every member of our team. They include:
  • Positive attitude, strong work ethic, and enjoyment from helping others.
  • Willingness to raise a hand and ask for assistance when it’s needed.
  • Personal accountability including completing tasks on time and communicating in advance if that’s not possible for some reason.
  • Comfortable with communication in an asynchronous work environment (we use tools like Zoom, Github, ClickUp, and Slack.)

  • Being flexible and adaptable to address high priority bugs or other issues as they arise.
  • You’re able to ask smart questions that get to the core of the problem needing to be solved more quickly.

Typical workday

You will scope incoming projects and provide accurate quotes for problem resolution or new feature creation. Common tasks might include debugging WooCommerce Subscriptions hiccups, building new landing pages, Core Web Vitals performance optimization, or designing a task automation system for internal sales lead flow.
