Senior WordPress/Shopify Developer

Timezone: EST

Fully Remote - Work from anywhere!

Hi! We're Search Atlas, a SaaS B2B company focused on engineering products and services that help businesses improve their performance on Google. We are a rapidly growing organization with clients from Fortune 500 companies to leading Silicon Valley tech startups.

Reports to: Director of Web Operations & Delivery

We're looking for a Senior WordPress/Shopify Developer to join our Web Operations team — a technically strong, collaborative leader who brings both hands-on expertise and a team-first mindset. You're as comfortable architecting scalable web solutions as you are mentoring junior developers, communicating complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders, and rolling up your sleeves to solve hard problems. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment and take pride in clean, performant, maintainable code, we want to hear from you.

• Lead & Mentor Lead a team of developers by providing guidance, conducting code reviews, and fostering a culture of technical excellence. You'll set the tone for quality and help others grow.
• Architect & Implement Architect and implement scalable, secure, and high-performance web solutions using WordPress, PHP, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
• Set Technical Standards Define and enforce technical standards and best practices for the team, ensuring code quality, security, and long-term maintainability. You hold yourself and your team to a high bar — sloppy, rushed, or untested work is not acceptable. Every deliverable should be something you're proud to put your name on.
• Collaborate & Communicate Work closely with product managers and designers to define project scope and translate requirements into a clear technical roadmap. You communicate with clarity and confidence — whether you're in a sprint planning session or presenting a technical proposal to leadership.
• Domain & Infrastructure Management Oversee website hosting (Kinsta, WPEngine, etc.), domain management (Cloudflare, GoDaddy, Squarespace), and infrastructure with a focus on performance, security, and uptime.
• Hands-On Development Design, develop, and maintain custom WordPress, Shopify, and Webflow websites from concept to launch.
• Optimize for SEO Lead the implementation of technical and on-page SEO best practices to improve search rankings, including optimizing site structure, schema markup, and page performance.
• Troubleshoot & Innovate Proactively identify and resolve complex issues across browsers and devices. Stay current on emerging web technologies and bring fresh ideas to the team.

Required:

• 5+ years of professional experience in WordPress and/or Shopify development
• Deep proficiency in PHP, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
• Proven experience leading or mentoring a development team
• Strong problem-solving skills — you break down complex challenges methodically and drive them to resolution
• Exceptional communication skills — you can clearly articulate technical decisions to both technical and non-technical audiences
