WordPress Developer

We’re a remote-first team spread across more than 10 countries, helping software makers grow globally with our “business in a box” solution. We handle payment processing, subscription management, sales tax compliance, licensing, and analytics so they can focus on building amazing products.

There are no nap pods or kombucha on tap, but if you’re hungry to build, ready to take ownership, and energized by meaningful work that pushes you out of your comfort zone, you probably belong here.

We ship fast, learn as we go, and take ideas from spark to live in days. This is an exciting time to join Freemius as we’re rapidly growing and transforming how software products are sold in the WordPress and micro-SaaS market.

About the role

Who Are We Looking For

You are a self-taught web developer who enjoys challenges, is not scared of learning new things, and gets a buzz of satisfaction after solving interesting problems.

The WP Admin is your 2nd home. You like tinkering with plugins and making them work for you exactly the way you want them, whether through configuration or code customization.

You want to be part of a product company with a strong technical team.

You prefer to work on a single evolving website and perfect it to the last pixel rather than scattering your attention and time on multiple projects.

You know that attention to detail is what separates the good from the great.

You have a good eye for UI and a solid understanding of UX.

While you enjoy working and collaborating with people, you do your best work in isolation without interruption.

You’re great at written communication through instant messaging and emails. You can convey your message in a clear and concise form, an essential skill for a distributed team.

You embrace failures and learn from them. You push yourself to grow & get better professionally. You’re open to constructive feedback and humble enough to receive it from any team member.

You want to take part in a journey of an agile & fast-growing startup.
