About the company

The role

- Troubleshoot and debug WordPress issues across hosting environments
What you'll need
- Strong WordPress development experience — themes, plugins, and custom PHP
- Solid HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for frontend work
- Comfortable with Git and deploying to shared or managed hosting
- Reliable and communicative — clients notice when things go wrong
Nice to have
- Experience with Elementor, ACF, or WooCommerce
- Familiarity with performance optimisation (caching, image compression, Core Web Vitals)
- Understanding of WordPress security best practices
What you'll get
- $550–$900 USD/month based on experience
- Fully remote and async-friendly
- Varied projects across industries — no two builds are the same
- Paid leave
- Path to Senior Developer or Technical Lead roles

About Remote World
Remote World was founded in 2023 with a simple belief: the future of work is remote, and everyone should have access to quality remote opportunities regardless of their location.
We noticed that while remote work is growing rapidly, many talented individuals around the world struggled to find legitimate, well-paying remote positions. At the same time, employers were struggling to find qualified remote talent from a global pool.
Remote World was created to solve this problem by building a comprehensive platform that not only connects job seekers with employers, but also empowers workers to develop the skills they need to succeed in remote environments.
Today, we're proud to have connected over 500 talented professionals with remote opportunities worldwide, and we're just getting started.
