Staff WordPress Engineer at Nexcess | chakrie

Requirements

Additional Requirements

React, for admin interfaces, Block Editor UI, and control-panel surfaces
Block Editor and block development, and the @wordpress/* package ecosystem
WooCommerce at scale: large catalogs, high order volume, checkout performance
Magento or Adobe Commerce — architecting for it, operating it, or hosting it at scale
Configuration management and fleet automation with Ansible, or a comparable tool such as Puppet, Chef, or Salt
Observability and profiling with New Relic, Xdebug, Query Monitor, or comparable APM tooling
Infrastructure as code with Terraform or similar, containers, and owning a CI/CD pipeline rather than only using one
Multi-tenant architecture and capacity planning
Accessible site building to WCAG 2.1 AA and WAI-ARIA
Contributions to WordPress core or the wider open-source ecosystem
8+ years of professional software engineering with deep PHP throughout, including mastery of modern PHP 8.x: object-oriented design, dependency injection, Composer and autoloading, PSR standards, and static analysis
Demonstrated technical leadership across multiple teams. You have set direction that other teams followed, and you can talk about a time it went wrong
Deep WordPress expertise: hooks and filters, the REST API, WP-CLI, plugin architecture, and hard-won understanding of what it takes to ship upgrade-safe code to a very large uncontrolled installed base
Genuine comfort on Linux as an operating system, not just as the place your code happens to run: process and service management, systemd, filesystems and permissions, networking fundamentals, and reading a system that is under load
Working shell scripting, and a track record of automating operational work rather than repeating it. You write bash for deployments, migrations, and diagnostics, and you have opinions about when a shell script should have become something else
Deep familiarity with the hosting stack: nginx or Apache, PHP-FPM worker pools and tuning, MySQL or MariaDB query performance, and object caching with Redis or Memcached. You can profile a slow request, say which layer is responsible, and architect for those constraints rather than discovering them in production
A migration, consolidation, or platform rewrite you led, with backward compatibility, a phased rollout, and a rollback plan you either needed or could genuinely have used
The ability to reason about cost, reliability, and operational burden, not only correctness. A design that is right and unaffordable is not right
Experience with automated testing using PHPUnit, Codeception and wp-browser, or equivalent, and a point of view on what is worth testing
Excellent written communication. You can disagree with a director in writing and be right about it, and also be wrong about it and move on without drama
A degree in Computer Science or a related field is welcome; equivalent practical experience is equally welcome
