Location: Remote - Anywhere (Open to applicants located anywhere around the globe.) Fueled is a leading digital strategy, design, and engineering agency. United with 10up – now the brand of our WordPress practice – we are a 300+ person team that has designed and built hundreds of digital products and experiences for brands like Google, Apple, The New York Times, ESPN, Victoria’s Secret, MGM Resorts, Albertsons, and CLEAR. As a Contract Senior Web Engineer, your mission is to architect the foundational systems that power dynamic, large-scale digital experiences. You will define the technical backbone of our projects, leveraging deep WordPress expertise to build robust, scalable solutions with modern PHP and sophisticated Gutenberg architecture. Your work bridges critical business needs and elegant technical execution, ensuring the platforms you build are performant, maintainable, and capable of evolving with our clients' ambitions. By setting a high bar for back-end craftsmanship and mentoring through your code, you'll leave a lasting imprint on our products, our team, and the millions of users who interact with your work. Intentionally remote and globally distributed across six continents, our team thrives in a culture that values flexibility, creativity, and cutting-edge technology. Together, we’re shaping the future of digital experiences. What you will do: Architect and build the core of enterprise-level WordPress solutions, developing high-performance plugins and themes with modern PHP and sophisticated Gutenberg blocks in React.js. Define the back-end technical vision and strategy for large-scale projects, making critical decisions on architecture, performance, and scalability that set the stage for long-term success. Elevate the entire team's output by providing expert code reviews that champion code quality, security, and maintainability. Solve complex performance and caching challenges, transforming slow, brittle systems into fast, resilient platforms that can handle millions of visitors. Your work will become the foundation upon which our clients build, creating the tools and systems that power digital experiences for a global audience. What you will achieve: Within your first month, you'll have taken ownership of a significant back-end feature or system, shipping code that demonstrates your architectural expertise. By the 3-month mark, a performance or caching improvement you championed will have resulted in a measurable increase in site speed or stability for a client project. Your technical guidance will have directly shaped a project's strategy, with your architectural recommendations being implemented and praised by both the team and the client. You will have established a new pattern or best practice for WordPress development that has been adopted by other engineers, elevating the team's collective output. By the end of your contract, you'll leave behind a legacy of robust, well-architected systems that continue to perform at scale and a standing invitation for future collaboration. About you: You have a deep passion for pushing WordPress to its limits, with expert-level mastery in modern PHP and a sophisticated understanding of the Gutenberg ecosystem. Your GitHub is a testament to your craft, filled with real-world WordPress code that demonstrates your ability to build elegant, scalable solutions—no whiteboard tests needed. You are a strategic partner and communicator, comfortable leading technical discussions with clients and translating their business needs into a powerful technical vision. You are a master of the back-end development lifecycle, with extensive Git workflow experience and a proven ability to expertly debug and optimize complex systems. You thrive on a distributed team, proactively collaborating and leading from the remote location of your choice to deliver exceptional results.
