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.

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.
