WordPress Engineer

DevriX is hiring a WordPress Engineer for our office in Sofia, Bulgaria – fully on-site – for our existing portfolio of WordPress-driven clients: B2B SaaS, publishers, healthcare, booking platforms, non-profits, and more.

Retention is customer NPS are strong units in our core system, with half of our portfolio with us for 4+ years, and several partners going through mergers, acquisitions, exits, and retaining our core capabilities in the process.

Innovation is at the forefront of our core stack – building on top of WordPress and custom solutions, through big data pipelines and workflows within Google and Amazon’s ecosystems, to MCP integrations, agentic microtools and n8n workflows, and vibe coding demos within the team and during discovery sessions.

This engineering role requires a strong command of WordPress development + scalability traits, and a command of copilot development, GPT integrations, and vibe coding principles for prototyping and UX modeling in use internally.

Key goals

• Independently deliver features, enhacements, optimizations, and technical debt clean up recommendations across different projects within the organization
• Work in parallel with other in-house engineers, coordinating priority assignments in the process
• Support core teams in high-scale WordPress solutions, building 3rd party integrations, scaling for high-traffic load, leveraging core WordPress APIs and building on top of underlying frameworks
• Seamless end-to-end delivery – from task completion through GitHub pipelines and deployment cycles to server provisioning and debugging as needed
• Operate in a multi-platform environment, with PHP and JavaScript as underlying layers, in addition to Python and different JS-flavored frameworks
• Maximize delivery through copilots, automation tools (n8n/Make), UI prototyping with v0, and up and coming market solutions

Role requirements

• Strong command of PHP and MySQL for traditional web platforms (within WordPress, Laravel, micro apps and custom builds)
• Comfortable with vanilla JavaScript and a Node.js-driven stack (React experience is a plus)
• Proven experience in building WordPress plugins or themes – in-depth understanding of the life cycle of a WordPress application, hook systems, and general CMS patterns for our portfolio of tech projects
• Broader engineering experience (Python/Go) is a plus, with vibe-coded internal apps or ML/NLP projects also acceptable
• Comfortable with Git flows and branching, and basic CI/CD environment (linters/hinters and deployment workflow)
• Active participation and contribution to an Open Source community is a plus – WordPress, PHP, JavaScript, or other communities you’re involved in or contribute to. GitHub, BitBucket, or other public projects are welcome
• High level of proactivity and passion for the craft and the ongoing evolution of software engineering
• Responsible to the team, code, deadlines, and maintaining profitability and efficiency within the organization
• Getting the job done is a priority, but being able to enjoy the ride is essential

Extended availability (evening shifts, on-call) for our US portfolio of clients is a competitive advantage for career growth or involvement with our account managers across Google, Meta, HubSpot, and other orgs.
