WordPress Full Stack Developer –Remote, U.S. Only

About PartnerComm: PartnerComm, Inc., a winner of 63 Gold Quills and counting, is one of the nation’s leading internal and human resources communication agencies. We help multinational corporations — many Fortune 500 companies — communicate with their employees using the right media at the right time. We take complicated information and make it easy for employees to understand, so they can get on with their lives.  Our 120+ clients are some of the best companies in the world and include Cisco Systems, American Airlines, Whirlpool, Michael’s Stores, Nestle, PepsiCo, Memorial Sloan Kettering, and REI.

The Job: We are looking for a strong PHP developer with experience building custom and complex WordPress themes and plugins. Experience with the Laravel framework is a strong plus. We are a communication agency that builds custom solutions for our clients. We value experimenting with new technology and continuing to push ourselves forward. We primarily build on top of WordPress, but this isn’t your typical WordPress: We use a custom-built theme as the starting point for all our projects, rely heavily on the WordPress REST API (including using custom endpoints to meet our clients’ needs), and use Vue JS for front end templating. When WordPress isn’t the right solution, we typically lean on Laravel, and we maintain a couple Laravel applications. But WordPress is our bread and butter, and we’re looking for a skilled developer with experience creating complex WordPress sites to help us continue to deliver the best solutions for our clients.

• Experience writing custom plug-ins and API integrations
• Experience using Git

Personal skills
