WordPress Developer (AI First)

Qualifications and requirements

• 2–5 years of professional WordPress development experience
• Demonstrated experience using AI tools (Claude Code or a comparable coding agent) as an active part of your development process — this is core to how we work, not a nice-to-have
• Strong, hands-on experience with Elementor and Elementor Pro, including theme builder and template systems
• Proven experience developing WordPress as code: Git-based workflows, version-controlled themes/plugins, environment-aware deployments (not just editing in WP admin)
• Solid PHP skills, plus working knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
• Experience with WP-CLI, Composer, and dependency management
• Familiarity with custom post types, taxonomies, and ACF (or similar) for structured content
• An eye for performance (caching, image optimization, Core Web Vitals) and accessibility
• Experience working alongside other developers on shared WordPress projects — branching, code reviews, and coordinating changes without stepping on each other's work
• Comfortable working in a client-facing or consulting environment

Projects

Brand & Bot is a product strategy, platform modernization and AI enablement company that helps organizations maximize their digital investments to drive ROI and growth. We partner with companies across technology, manufacturing, finance, life sciences, and start-ups. We don't just ship code — we design resilient, human-focused, scalable products and systems that drive real business outcomes.

We're looking for a WordPress Developer who treats WordPress as a professional engineering platform — not a point-and-click CMS. You'll build and maintain high-quality WordPress sites using Elementor for design delivery, while managing the platform as code: version-controlled, repeatable, and deployable across environments.

Just as importantly, you'll work AI-first. We use Claude Code as a day-to-day part of how we build, and we expect you to be fluent with AI tools that accelerate your work — scaffolding themes and plugins, writing custom Elementor widgets, etc.

Job functions

• Build, customize, and maintain WordPress sites with a strong emphasis on performance, accessibility, and maintainability
• Design and deliver pages and templates in Elementor and Elementor Pro: reusable templates, global styles, theme builder layouts
• Develop custom Elementor widgets, dynamic content, and extensions when off-the-shelf capabilities fall short
• Use Claude Code (or comparable AI coding agents) daily to scaffold, refactor, debug, and document code
• Manage WordPress as code: version-controlled themes and plugins, local-to-production parity, scripted deployments
• Use Composer, WP-CLI, and Git-based workflows to manage plugins, dependencies, and configuration
• Build custom themes and child themes, custom post types, taxonomies, and ACF-driven content models
• Integrate WordPress with third-party services, REST APIs, forms, and marketing/automation tooling
• Work across DEV / STAGE / PROD environments and support clean, reliable releases
• Collaborate closely with another developer on a shared codebase and environments, coordinating changes and releases
• Write clear, maintainable code and contribute to technical documentation

Conditions

We believe in fostering an environment that encourages you to explore your creative side, grow your technical expertise and gain the satisfaction of delivering work that is challenging and rewarding. Brand & Bot's benefits include:

• A diverse, flexible work environment that values ownership, curiosity, and continuous growth
• Paid access to industry-leading AI platforms
• A flexible paid time off (PTO) policy and paid holidays
• Collaboration with exceptional software engineers, strategists, and builders across Latin America and the United States
• The chance to help shape meaningful digital products, platforms, and systems from strategy through execution for brands in the United States
• Mentorship and hands-on training with modern technologies, automation tools, and emerging platforms

Desirable skills

• Experience building or integrating AI features into WordPress sites (chatbots, content automation, search)
• Headless WordPress experience (REST API / WPGraphQL with a modern front end)
• Experience with managed hosting platforms (WP Engine, Kinsta) and CI/CD pipelines
