Role Overview
We are hiring a full stack engineer with strong frontend bias who can operate across modern JS frameworks and independently own end-to-end WordPress website development.
This role sits at the intersection of:

- Work with MongoDB or similar databases for data management
- Ensure performance optimization, SEO readiness, and responsiveness
2) WordPress Development (Core Requirement)
- Independently design, develop, and deploy complete WordPress websites

- Deployment & hosting
- Convert Figma/Design files into production-ready WordPress builds
