What is a WordPress engineer?

A WordPress Engineer is a developer who specializes in building, maintaining, and optimizing websites using the WordPress platform. Their responsibilities typically include designing and developing custom themes and plugins, troubleshooting issues, optimizing site performance, and ensuring security best practices. WordPress Engineers may work with both front-end and back-end technologies, collaborating with designers and content creators to deliver high-quality websites tailored to client needs.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a WordPress engineer?

To thrive as a WordPress Engineer, you need expertise in PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and a strong understanding of WordPress core, themes, and plugins, often supported by a computer science degree or relevant certifications. Familiarity with development tools like Git, WordPress CLI, and popular page builders, as well as experience with MySQL databases and REST APIs, is typically required. Problem-solving, attention to detail, and effective communication are crucial soft skills for working with clients and collaborating in teams. These skills ensure the development of robust, scalable, and user-friendly WordPress solutions that meet client and project needs.

What are some common challenges WordPress engineers face when working on large-scale or high-traffic websites?

WordPress Engineers working on large-scale or high-traffic websites often encounter challenges related to site performance optimization, security, and scalability. Managing complex plugin integrations, minimizing load times, and ensuring efficient database queries are crucial for maintaining a smooth user experience. Additionally, engineers must implement robust security measures to protect sensitive data and prevent attacks. Collaboration with designers, content creators, and system administrators is key to identifying potential bottlenecks and maintaining site reliability as traffic grows.

Job description

WordPress Developer (Elementor Expert) - Contract-to-Hire (6 Months)
Location: Austin, TX (Hybrid - In-Office M/W/F, Remote Tues/Thurs)
Reports To: Director of Design & Development
Team: Web Development / Delivery
The Opportunity
Intellibright is looking for a mid-level WordPress Developer with expert-level Elementor experience to help build, optimize, and maintain high-performing marketing websites and landing pages for our clients.
If you move fast without breaking things, care about clean implementation, and know how to get the most out of Elementor (Theme Builder, global systems, dynamic content, performance)-this role is for you. You'll work closely with designers, strategists, SEO, and paid media teams to ship conversion-focused experiences that are measurable and reliable.
This is a 6-month contract-to-hire role with a hybrid schedule requiring in-office collaboration 3 days per week.
About Intellibright
Intellibright is a performance-driven digital marketing agency built around accountability and close client partnerships. We believe that if something does not tie back to revenue, it does not matter.
Our proprietary revenue analytics connect marketing activity to pipeline, sales, and revenue across channels.
Recognized by Inc. 5000 and the Financial Times 500 as one of the fastest growing companies in the Americas five years running, Intellibright is a high performance agency headquartered in Austin, Texas.
What You Will Own
  • Build and maintain WordPress websites and landing pages primarily using Elementor (Theme Builder, templates, global widgets, reusable sections, dynamic content).
  • Implement design comps into pixel-clean, responsive pages with strong attention to spacing, typography, and consistency.
  • Create and enforce maintainable Elementor systems (global styles, design tokens, template standards, component reuse).
  • Configure and manage WordPress foundations: theme settings, plugins, environments, user roles, backups, and site hygiene.
  • Work with ACF and custom post types/taxonomies to support scalable content and dynamic page builds.
  • Troubleshoot complex Elementor + WordPress issues (layout bugs, responsiveness, plugin conflicts, performance bottlenecks).
  • Improve site performance (Core Web Vitals, caching, image optimization, asset loading, reducing Elementor bloat).
  • Implement marketing integrations: forms, tracking, analytics, tag manager support, CRM/email tooling integrations.
  • Support QA, staging-to-production releases, and documentation to keep delivery predictable across multiple client sites.
What Success Looks Like
  • Elementor builds are clean, consistent, reusable, and easy for the team to maintain.
  • Pages launch quickly without sacrificing quality, responsiveness, or performance.
  • Core templates, global styles, and component libraries reduce rework and speed up delivery.
  • Performance improves over time (faster load, fewer layout shifts, better CWV).
  • Issues are diagnosed efficiently and resolved with clear communication and strong ownership.
  • Stakeholders (design, strategy, SEO, paid media) feel supported because implementation is reliable and proactive.
  • Multiple projects can move forward in parallel because you can prioritize and execute without constant oversight.

Why This Role Matters
At Intellibright, strong strategy only creates value if it is executed well.
This role ensures our web experiences-often the center of a client's acquisition and conversion funnel-are built with speed, precision, and performance in mind. The WordPress Developer (Elementor Expert) turns creative and marketing direction into real, measurable outcomes by shipping pages that load fast, track correctly, and convert.
For the right person, this is an opportunity to be a key driver of website delivery quality in a high-performance agency where execution is just as important as ideas.
Requirements
What We Are Looking For
  • 3+ years of professional WordPress development experience (agency / multi-client work strongly preferred).
  • Expert-level Elementor experience: Theme Builder, templates, global widgets, responsive workflows, dynamic content, and system-based building.
  • Strong grasp of WordPress fundamentals (themes/plugins, WP admin, troubleshooting, content modeling).
  • Pro-level front-end implementation skills (HTML/CSS + enough JavaScript to debug and integrate confidently).
  • Proven ability to optimize WordPress/Elementor sites for performance (CWV, caching, asset optimization, image strategy).
  • Comfortable working across multiple projects and collaborating with cross-functional teams.
  • Clear communicator-able to explain tradeoffs, timelines, and technical constraints without drama.
  • Must be Austin-based or willing to relocate (hybrid schedule requires in-person work 3 days/week).
Nice to Have
  • ACF + custom post types/taxonomies depth (content modeling, dynamic Elementor builds).
  • Experience extending Elementor (custom widgets, hooks, custom functionality).
  • WooCommerce experience (especially with Elementor).
  • Familiarity with managed hosting (WP Engine/Kinsta), CDN setups, and deployment workflows (Git/staging).

Benefits
Compensation and Engagement
  • Engagement Type: Contract-to-hire
  • Contract Duration: 6 months
  • Hours: 30-40/week
  • Pay: Competitive, based on experience (hourly or salary conversion upon hire)

Fraud Warning
Our team will only contact you through official company email addresses or phone numbers and will conduct interviews via live video. We will never ask you to send money, purchase equipment, provide gift cards, or share any financial information.
