Job Description

As a WordPress and React Developer at Elegant Themes, you will be working with a small and agile team of talented devs from around the world. We work with GitHub and chat on Slack. Self-motivated individuals tend to thrive best here, and we are looking for someone filled with inspiration who isn’t afraid to take initiative.

This position is for someone with a deep understanding of WordPress and React. You have built your own themes and plugins before and possibly even contributed to WordPress Core. You enjoy finding elegant solutions to complex problems and are familiar with the WordPress motto – “code is poetry.” You are up-to-date with the latest and most significant trends and technologies because you are engaged in the open-source community and enjoy building software that pushes the web forward.
