Senior WordPress Web Developer job

Applications close on Monday 12th Jan at 5 pm.

Hiyield is a climate conscious digital product studio that’s proudly B Corp and 80% employee owned. We help purpose-driven organisations do more good in the world by creating showstopping websites, apps, and digital tools – and we’re looking for a new Senior WordPress Developer to join our growing team.

We have a serious curiosity streak and a healthy obsession with building brilliant things! We’re a friendly bunch who care about the planet, our clients, and each other. We take our work seriously, but not ourselves. Check out our about page to get to know us a little better.

Spoiler alert: when you work with us, there will be an abundance of bad jokes and allotment updates on our weekly team catch-up call. 

Why work at Hiyield

We want you to do your best work and live a good life when you’re off the clock. So we’ve built a culture (backed up with policies) that puts people first:

• Flexible hours & remote-friendly working – life happens, kids need to get to school, we need to get outside and move in daylight, etc – we get it 
• Work from home, our Bristol Hub, or our HQ in Truro, Cornwall
• You get 25 days leave (increasing annually) + Bank Holidays + a Christmas closure that doesn’t come out of your holiday allowance
• Enhanced sick pay and private healthcare 
• Genuinely supportive wellbeing policies that help us be our best selves
• Robust policies for equality, equity, diversity and inclusion – we’re committed to being a supportive and empowering workplace where everyone can succeed 
• Training budget & development time to keep you growing
• Climate-conscious approach – we’re always trying to do better
• No ego, no drama, no “team rockstars” – just a supportive, collaborative team

Is this you?

You’re someone who lights up when creating clever, custom WordPress builds. You know your way around PHP, Gutenberg, modern tooling, and the ins and outs of building secure, fast, accessible sites.

But you’re also great with people – whether you’re chatting with clients, pairing with a designer, or guiding other developers through a tricky build. You enjoy sharing knowledge, asking questions, and championing best practices.

You don’t need to tick every box to apply. If you care about doing good work and growing your craft, we’d love to hear from you.

We’re looking for:

• Deep experience with WordPress, PHP, and modern theme/plugin development
• A solid grasp of HTML, CSS/Sass, JavaScript, and build tools
• An understanding of accessibility, performance, and best practices
• Experience working across multiple projects (agency or similar)
• Confidence in discussing ideas with clients and colleagues
• A collaborative, curious personality

Bonus points if you have:

• Headless WordPress experience
• React knowledge
• CI/CD familiarity
• An eye for UX and user-centred thinking

What you’ll be doing

• Building bespoke WordPress themes and plugins that are polished, performant, and easy to maintain
• Working with our designers to bring digital experiences to life
• Leading technical decisions on projects
• Helping shape our WordPress approach as we grow
• Supporting other devs through pairing, reviews, and knowledge sharing
• Working on projects that sit in that sweet spot between purposeful and creatively satisfying

Our hiring process

• Apply online using the handy form below 
• If we think we’re a good match, you’ll be invited to a remote interview 
• We will share the questions in advance 
• Then if you’re through to the next round, you’ll be set a technical task

• Then we will make a job offer to our new hire
