As a Senior Developer at Awesome Motive, you’ll join the WPForms team, where you will collaborate with awesome team members and tackle a wide range of responsibilities.

We are looking for a Senior Developer to help us build and maintain our WordPress plugins, add-ons and APIs by creating high-quality, scalable, and maintainable code that powers millions of websites worldwide.

This role plays a critical part in our company’s product development process. Our ideal candidate will be developing new features, optimizing existing code, and ensuring our products deliver exceptional performance and user experience.

The ideal candidate displays extreme ownership in all aspects of their work.

To love this role, here’s the type of person you are:

• You’re a self-starter who loves taking the initiative and seeing things through from conception to completion.
• You understand Product and you are putting Customers first by solving problems that matter to users.
• You’re an excellent communicator, fluent in both verbal and written English, who makes sure nothing slips through the cracks. We believe communication is critical, and there is no such thing as over-communicating.
• You take pride in the quality and craftsmanship of your work rather than just doing it to get it done – with attention to detail.
• You love mentoring your peers and helping them “level up” just as much as writing code.
• You are comfortable giving constructive technical feedback to peers (respectfully and productively) and don’t take the feedback personally.
• You’re happy working on tasks of all sizes – from quick bug fixes to large architectural changes.
• You’re passionate about creating user-friendly solutions and improving the developer experience, while embodying our Core Value: Laboring for Simplicity.

Responsibilities:

• Write clean, efficient, and well-documented code following established coding standards.
• Collaborate with QA and Design to deliver exceptional user experiences.
• Perform code reviews and provide constructive feedback to team members.

• Mentor other developers and contribute to technical documentation.
• Research and implement new technologies to improve our development processes.
• Troubleshoot, debug, and resolve complex technical issues.
• Participate in architectural decisions and technical planning sessions.
• Prepare technical design documents (we call them Pitches) before starting any major work.

Requirements

• Proven work experience in web development, 5+ years.
• Strong proficiency in PHP, 4+ years.

• Proficiency with AI-powered coding assistants to accelerate development, debugging, and code refactoring workflows.
• Strong knowledge of software design patterns and principles.
• Experience with version control systems (Git) and branching strategies.
• Ability to keep complex ideas and features simple. (Simplicity is a core value!)
• Experience with RESTful APIs and third-party integrations.
• Understanding of security best practices and performance optimization.
• Experience writing unit and integration tests.
• English at the upper intermediate level or higher.
• Personal Computer with Internet Access.
• Availability to participate in audio/video meetings between 9 AM and 5 PM ET.

Bonus points if you also have:

• Experience with React or other modern JavaScript frameworks.
• Experience with Playwright or other browser testing frameworks.
• Experience integrating AI/ML APIs (OpenAI, Claude, etc.) into products or SaaS.
• Knowledge of DevOps practices and CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions preferred).
• Experience with SaaS platforms and subscription-based products.
• Contributions to open-source projects or WordPress core.
