Employer: Cornershop Creative
Join the Cornershop team!
- We are seeking an awesome, U.S.-based WordPress developer to join our 20+ distributed team.

- We are looking for a great developer with demonstrable WordPress core skills and experience.
- This position will be responsible for interpreting loose client requirements and turning them into beautiful websites by creating optimized PHP, JS, and CSS code. Strong React skills are also needed to create custom Gutenberg blocks.
- Our ideal candidate is a hard-working, curious self-starter comfortable working independently with little supervision, but also able to work as part of a team that includes developers and non-developers.
- Since we’re a permanently distributed shop (not just during the pandemic), you’ll get to work from home! Cool, right?
Desired Skills/Knowledge

- Wireframe, UI experience and excellent web design skills not required but a PLUS
- Ability to laugh at our stupid jokes (and the occasional good one)
- Familiarity with command line tools like ssh, git, gulp and wp-cli
- Won’t lose your s#!% if you occasionally get feedback like “can we make the logo bigger?†or “change the padding by 1px,†which may happen despite our best efforts
- Willingness to work in a fast-paced environment and work across multiple clients (we keep pretty busy!)
- Ability to “put yourself in someone else’s shoes†to consider the client’s (and client’s users’) needs
- Being passionate about progressive causes
