About this role

We are hiring a professional WordPress Developer for remote collaboration to build high-performance business websites. This is NOT a plugin-based role. We need a developer who understands WordPress architecture, writes clean code, and builds scalable and optimized solutions.

Daily work involves building custom WordPress themes from scratch, developing custom features with PHP, and integrating external APIs like CRM and dashboards. Handle REST APIs for sending and receiving data, manage authentication with API keys and tokens, and display dynamic data on sites. Optimize websites for speed, clean structure, and scalability using hooks, filters, and custom post types.

This remote position offers collaboration with Persian Horizon on business websites requiring pixel-perfect UI from Figma designs. Front-end skills in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript ensure responsive, professional results. Focus on custom development practices without relying on plugins.

Portfolio is mandatory with live website links, summary of WordPress and PHP experience, API project examples, availability, and expected rate. Applications without real work samples will NOT be reviewed. Long-term collaboration potential exists for the right candidate.

Requirements

Strong experience with WordPress core, themes, and overall structure
Ability to build custom WordPress themes (experience building from scratch is a strong advantage)
Solid PHP knowledge (must be able to develop custom features — not only use plugins)
Ability to deliver websites in the most optimized way possible (speed, clean structure, scalability)
Experience with WordPress Hooks, Filters, Custom Post Types, and clean development practices
Strong experience integrating WordPress with external APIs (CRM, dashboards, third-party systems)
Ability to send/receive data via REST APIs, handle authentication (API keys, tokens), and display dynamic data on the website
Good front-end skills in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, with the ability to implement pixel-perfect UI based on Figma designs (must match the design accurately, responsive, clean, and professional)
