About Devasaa

Devasaa is a full-service Technology & Digital Marketing agency built on one belief: that the right digital strategy is a growth engine, not just a support function. Our team of creative thinkers and technical experts partners with businesses to navigate the complexities of the digital landscape — delivering targeted, high-impact solutions that solve real problems and drive measurable results. We don’t just deliver projects; we build long-term partnerships that evolve with your business.

The Role

We are seeking an experienced Senior WordPress Developer to take full ownership of Devasaa’s core web platform. This is a hands-on, end-to-end role — you will be the primary developer responsible for architecture, performance, security, UI/UX implementation, and continuous improvement of a high-traffic, production-grade WordPress environment. This is not a ticket-closing role. We are looking for someone who thinks like an owner, takes initiative, and brings solutions to the table.

Core Responsibilities

Development: Build and maintain custom themes, blocks, and plugins using PHP 8+, React, and Gutenberg. Write clean, scalable, and well-documented code.
UI/UX Implementation: Translate Figma / Adobe XD design files into pixel-perfect, fully responsive WordPress builds across all devices and screen sizes. Collaborate closely with UI/UX designers to ensure design accuracy, consistency, and a seamless user experience across mobile, tablet, and desktop.
E-Commerce: Manage complex WooCommerce ecosystems, including custom extension development, payment gateway integrations, and REST API connections.
Email Setup & Administration: Configure and manage professional email environments across G Suite (Google Workspace), Microsoft 365, cPanel/hPanel Email, and SMTP relay. Handle MX record setup, SPF / DKIM / DMARC configuration, domain-linked mailbox creation, email troubleshooting, and cross-provider email migrations.
Analytics, Tracking & Webmaster Setup: Full setup and ongoing management of Google Analytics 4 (GA4), Google Tag Manager (GTM), Google Search Console, Bing Webmaster Tools, Meta Pixel, Microsoft Clarity, and Hotjar.
Performance & Security: Optimize site speed via caching, CDN configuration, Core Web Vitals, and Google PageSpeed improvements. Implement rigorous security hardening, SEO best practices, and structured data markup. Conduct Lighthouse audits and apply image optimization (WebP, lazy loading).
WordPress Plugin Management: Install, configure, customize, and maintain the full WordPress plugin ecosystem including SEO, performance, security, forms, WooCommerce extensions, membership, and LMS plugins.
Social Media Integration: Set up and manage Open Graph and social meta tags, Facebook / Instagram feed integrations, LinkedIn and Twitter / X embeds, social sharing optimization, and social media API connections.
Third Party Integrations: Integrate CRM platforms (HubSpot, Zoho), marketing automation tools (Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign, Klaviyo), and webhook / Zapier-based automations with WordPress environments.
Staging & Backup Management: Maintain staging environments for all active projects, implement backup and restoration protocols, and manage safe deployments from staging to live.
Process & Collaboration: Operate within an Agile/Scrum framework using Jira / Shortcut for sprint and task management, Google Workspace for all documentation and team communication, and Slack for day-to-day collaboration.
Accessibility & Compliance: Ensure all builds meet WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards, GDPR compliance requirements, and technical SEO best practices.
Maintenance (AMC): Execute proactive Annual Maintenance Contract deliverables — including PHP version upgrades, security patching, 24/7 uptime monitoring, and database optimization.

Tech Stack Requirements

WordPress: WordPress Core APIs, Advanced Custom Fields (ACF), Gutenberg block development, Page Builder customization (Elementor / WPBakery / Divi / Beaver Builder).
Languages: PHP 8+, JavaScript (React), HTML5, CSS3.
UI/UX Tools: Figma, Adobe XD.
E-Commerce: WooCommerce, REST API integrations, payment gateway setup.
