About the Company

Our client is a pioneering pet end-of-life care company dedicated to empowering families through one of life's most tender moments. Operating a first-of-its-kind Comfort Center alongside an e-commerce memorial products store, they offer in-home euthanasia, aquamation (water cremation), and a curated range of keepsakes and urns. Their mission: every pet and every family deserves a goodbye as meaningful as the bond they shared.

Role Overview

We are looking for a skilled Software Engineer with deep WordPress and WooCommerce expertise to own and evolve our client's digital storefront and broader marketing/content ecosystem. You will work closely with the product, marketing, and operations teams to build a seamless, compassionate online experience for their customers.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own the WooCommerce storefront end-to-end: theme customization, plugin management, performance, and reliability
  • Develop and maintain custom WooCommerce plugins and extensions tailored to a unique memorial product catalog (urns, keepsakes, gift boxes, jewelry)
  • Implement and optimize product variant logic, pricing rules, and checkout flows
  • Integrate third-party services: payment gateways, shipping APIs, CRM, and email marketing platforms

WordPress Engineering

  • Build and maintain custom WordPress themes and child themes aligned with brand guidelines
  • Develop custom Gutenberg blocks and page templates for marketing and content pages
  • Manage and audit plugins for security, compatibility, and performance
  • Support the editorial team with CMS tooling and workflow improvements

Performance & Quality

  • Optimize site speed, Core Web Vitals, and SEO-technical foundations
  • Implement A/B testing and conversion rate optimization experiments
  • Maintain staging environments and enforce a reliable deployment pipeline
  • Write clean, documented, testable code and participate in code reviews

Collaboration & Strategy

  • Partner with design to translate Figma mockups into pixel-perfect, responsive builds
  • Work with marketing on campaign landing pages, product launches, and promotional mechanics
  • Contribute to architectural decisions, platform roadmap, and technology selection

Required Qualifications

  • 4+ years of professional WordPress development experience
  • 3+ years of WooCommerce development, including custom plugin and extension development
  • Strong proficiency in PHP, JavaScript (ES6+), HTML5, and CSS3/SCSS
  • Experience with REST APIs, webhooks, and third-party integrations
  • Familiarity with WordPress multisite, staging environments, and CI/CD workflows
  • Solid understanding of e-commerce UX principles and checkout optimization
  • Experience with version control (Git) and collaborative development workflows
  • Ability to work independently in a fast-moving, mission-driven startup environment

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with headless WordPress or block-based (FSE) theme development
  • Familiarity with WooCommerce Subscriptions, Bookings, or similar extensions
  • Experience with performance tooling: Lighthouse, GTmetrix, caching layers (Redis, Varnish)
  • Background in DTC e-commerce, healthcare, or wellness verticals
  • Working knowledge of React or Vue.js for Gutenberg or front-end enhancements
  • Exposure to Google Analytics 4, Tag Manager, and conversion tracking

What Our Client Offers

  • Competitive compensation commensurate with experience
  • Meaningful work at the intersection of technology and compassionate care
  • Collaborative, human-centered team culture
  • Remote-first flexibility
  • Opportunity to shape the digital future of an emerging category leader
