WordPress Playground needs a developer to help us shape the future of WordPress. We’re looking for a senior person, interested equally in the technology, the people using the technology, and the big picture. Some of your responsibilities will include: Build fundamental, low-level PHP tools intended for inclusion in WordPress Core (e.g. WP<->WP synchronization, streaming parsers, git clients). Read specifications, RFCs, web standards proposals (e.g. WHATWG HTML spec, git protocol, JSPI proposal). Publish rough, half-baked prototypes to inspire the community and draw out the early reactions (e.g. a WordPress IDE, recording WordPress (test runs) with Playwright, a Blueprints builder). Coordinate with the community and other Automattic teams. Responsibilities: Develop code for WordPress Playground, both in TypeScript and PHP, submit well described Github issues and pull requests, and engage in discussion and code reviews. Communicate in a friendly and professional way with community members and help them take submissions over the finish line. Make use of existing documentation resources and examples, and improve them where you see fit or make improvements to the APIs to help the community to achieve tasks faster. Requirements: We’d like you to have built something in one or two areas listed below which required a deep dive into those areas. Three is more than enough. Web Assembly, Offline apps, Live collaboration, Mobile apps, Stream-processing data, Parsers, Browser extensions, Web browser internals (e.g. chromium codebase), PHP internals (the C codebase), Git internals (the .git store, the protocol), Helping define new web standards (e.g. contributing to WASM standards discussions, participating in PHP mailing lists, proposing RFCs for WordPress – even if there’s no RFC process in place). Salary range: $70,000-$170,000 USD - Please note that salary ranges are global, regardless of location, and we pay in local currency. This isn’t your typical work-from-home job—we are a fully-remote company with an open vacation policy. Read more about our compensation philosophy.
