Full Stack WordPress Developer Role

Solve complex problems while collaborating with an awesome development team working on innovative and large-scale WordPress installations.

We are also looking for a FullStack WordPress Developer who has worked with WordPress Gutenberg block system, templates, and custom plugins. We want someone who can dive into both the front-end composition of a WordPress site and take it to the next level while handling the back-end.

A strong knowledge of WordPress plugin architecture and how WordPress organizes data is preferred. The ideal candidate can also find a needle in a haystack and be able to follow processes when troubleshooting website issues. You know when to check the error logs and when to check the Git repos for uncommitted changes.

Ways you work:

You should have a desire to work behind the scenes with a team to get things done. You like to see a large project through from start to finish. You need to be up to speed and knowledgeable about the most recent releases and standards of WordPress.

You also take pride in how you communicate with others. You can explain a technical issue or function in a way that someone who isn’t a developer can digest. You recognize the importance of asking for help and having code reviews, both to help yourself and others on the team.

We want you to be as excited and as passionate as we are about what we are creating with the platform.

  • Communication – Our operational style emphasizes flexibility and encourages autonomy. As a result, uncommonly good common sense, and exceptional communication skills are indispensable for every team member.
  • Time Management – We know that nothing is ever ‘done.' The proven ability to manage your time sensibly and proportionately with project priorities is critical.
  • Analyst - Analyze user story acceptance criteria to ensure technical feasibility and point out potential issues.
  • Architect - Architect and develop new backend features and plugins, custom functionality, and theme integration as needed.

View company profile

We are Lone Rock Point, a team deeply rooted in the belief that technology can be a powerful storytelling device. Our journey began in 2016 with a clear mission: to improve the world by perfecting the way knowledge is shared. From the very beginning, we established ourselves as a remote-first company, a decision that has allowed us to build a distributed team of dedicated, detail-obsessed experts spread across the United States and Europe. This structure has not only enabled us to weather global shifts seamlessly but has also enriched our culture, bringing together diverse perspectives and skills. We are pioneers who have been innovating in the digital space since the dot-com wave, and we carry that spirit of exploration and innovation in everything we do. We specialize in crafting bespoke technology solutions, particularly for the public sector, helping organizations harness the power of digital transformation to better serve their communities.

Our work is driven by a user-first approach. We believe in collaboration, innovation, and integrity above all else. This philosophy has guided our most significant projects, including our work with NASA to modernize their web presence using WordPress. We are proud to have led the development of their enterprise web strategy and the launch of the new NASA.gov beta site. This project, like all our endeavors, was about more than just technology; it was about creating a more accessible, engaging, and effective way for a vital public institution to connect with citizens and stakeholders. We are not just developers and strategists; we are problem-solvers who thrive on tackling complex challenges. We are passionate about open-source technologies like WordPress and are active contributors to the community. At Lone Rock Point, we are building more than just websites and applications; we are building systems that tell stories, share knowledge, and create meaningful change.
