You own end-to-end delivery of Burst Statistics, our privacy-friendly analytics plugin for WordPress—spanning React UI, PHP backend, and WordPress plugin architecture. You’ll ship fast, secure features, optimize performance, and keep the admin experience smooth, all within a fully remote, high-ownership team at Team Updraft (makers of UpdraftPlus, WP-Optimize, AIOS, and more).

Key Responsibilities

• Build, extend, and maintain Burst Statistics (custom blocks, settings UIs, dashboards) using PHP, React, and WordPress APIs.

• Turn specs into clean, reusable components; write inline docs and testing guides.

• Optimize plugin performance (data prefetching, queries, caching) and ensure secure code paths.

• Integrate seamlessly with core WP workflows (REST API/WPGraphQL, hooks/filters, roles/capabilities).

• Triage and fix bugs; debug independently and alongside founders/support.

• Collaborate via code reviews and roadmap planning; communicate progress, risks, and trade-offs clearly.

• Keep admin UX approachable and accessible; safeguard site speed and footprint.

Ideal Candidate

• Expert PHP (WordPress core concepts, plugin structure, security best practices).

• Strong JavaScript & React (hooks, state management, async data).

• Proven WordPress plugin development experience (shipping features used in production).

• Comfortable with MySQL (schema awareness, query optimization) and performance profiling.

• Version control fluency (GitHub/GitLab); CI familiarity a plus.

• Nice to have: data prefetching strategies, data visualization interest, WPGraphQL/REST, SVN exposure.

• Organized, proactive communicator; self-starter who thrives in small, fast teams.

• Full-time preferred—flexible for an exceptional fit.

Benefits & Perks

• Fully remote role (global); flexibility to manage your schedule.

• Option to work from our Newport, Wales co-working space (UK-based candidates).

• Team meetups at WordCamp events across Europe, Asia, and the US.

• Regular 1:1s, team meetings, and company updates to stay connected.
