Summary

# Senior WordPress / WooCommerce Marketplace Developer ### Long-Term Opportunity | Expert Level Only We're building a premium marketplace for buying and selling social media accounts. The foundation is already in place, and we're looking for an experienced WordPress developer to help transform it into a polished, scalable platform. This is **not** a beginner WordPress project. We're looking for someone who understands software architecture, WooCommerce customization, performance optimization, security, and user experience—not just someone who installs plugins. If you're passionate about building products that scale and enjoy solving technical challenges, we'd like to hear from you. --- ## Current Technology Stack * WordPress * Kadence Theme (PRO) * WooCommerce * Existing hosting environment * Existing site foundation already built --- ## Responsibilities You'll help us: * Transform WooCommerce into a professional marketplace experience * Develop custom functionality where plugins aren't sufficient * Improve the overall user experience * Optimize performance and page speed * Strengthen security and reliability * Build scalable solutions for future expansion * Recommend better technical approaches whenever appropriate We value developers who think strategically rather than simply completing assigned tasks. --- ## Required Experience Please apply only if you have extensive experience with: * WordPress * WooCommerce * PHP * JavaScript * CSS * Custom plugin development * Hooks & Filters * REST APIs * Performance optimization * Security best practices ### Highly Preferred Experience building: * Marketplace platforms * Multi-vendor systems * Digital asset marketplaces * Custom approval workflows * User dashboards * Payment or escrow-style workflows --- ## What We're Looking For We're searching for someone who: * Communicates exceptionally well in English * Writes clean, maintainable code * Documents custom development * Meets deadlines consistently * Offers thoughtful technical recommendations * Takes ownership of projects * Wants to become a long-term development partner --- ## To Apply Please include: 1. Links to your **three best** WordPress/WooCommerce projects. 2. Examples of custom functionality you've built (not simply plugins you've installed). 3. Briefly describe the most technically challenging project you've completed and what made it challenging. 4. In one or two paragraphs, explain **the first architectural decisions you would make before writing any code for a WooCommerce marketplace like ours.** 5. Somewhere in your proposal, include the word **Atlas** so we know you've read the entire job posting. Applications that don't follow these instructions will not be considered. --- ## Engagement This begins as a paid contract with the expectation of ongoing work as the platform grows. We're looking for a developer who wants to help build a serious product—not just complete a one-time task. If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.
