Your Role

Our team is growing! We're looking for an Intermediate WordPress Full-Stack Developer to join us. The role is mainly backend-focused, but you'll be expected to operate independently across all technical stages of a project, from backend to frontend.

Our stack runs on a custom WordPress theme with tailored Gutenberg blocks and a modular codebase. We value performance, maintainability, and clean code. You’ll work end-to-end on real-world projects in a dynamic environment where initiative, rigour, and product sense are key.

This is a 100% remote role: you can work from anywhere, as long as you're available during standard business hours in the Quebec time zone (UTC−5 / UTC−4 during daylight saving time).

Your Main Responsibilities

Backend Development (WordPress/PHP)

  • Build backend functionality with WordPress (hooks, actions, filters, CPTs, custom taxonomies)
  • Create secure REST routes (register_rest_route) with validation, sanitization, and permission handling
  • Interact safely with the database ($wpdb, prepared queries, and custom metadata)
  • Understand WordPress architecture (template hierarchy, WP loop, lifecycle) to better extend or adapt it
  • Write modular, readable, and maintainable code (namespaces, PHP classes, PSR standards, naming conventions)

Frontend Development (JavaScript/TypeScript)

  • Integrate APIs on the Frontend (fetch, async/await) and manipulate JSON data in the DOM
  • Organize modern JavaScript using ES6+ modules, structured imports, and TypeScript
  • Contribute to custom Gutenberg blocks (@wordpress/scripts, JSX, and reusable components)

Performance, Storage & Data Handling

  • Manage client-side storage (localStorage, sessionStorage), WordPress transients, and other efficient persistence methods
  • Optimize frontend performance (load speed, code structure, data reuse)

Maintenance, Refactoring & Documentation

  • Read, understand, and modernize legacy code while continuously improving the codebase
  • Document your code clearly and systematically

Tools & Collaboration

  • Use Git with discipline: branch management, commit conventions, rebase
  • Manage dependencies with npm/yarn (Frontend) and Composer (PHP), and compile with Webpack
  • Participate in code reviews, QA, manual testing, and deployments with the team
  • Work with modern collaboration tools (Slack, Notion, Jira) to ensure smooth communication and project coordination with the entire Milesopedia team

What We Are Looking For

  • 2 to 4 years of professional experience in web development, with solid experience in WordPress
  • Comfortable working on projects without theme builders or heavy plugins (able to program without over-reliance on off-the-shelf solutions)
  • Strong grasp of backend fundamentals (vanilla PHP, WP Core) and ability to work independently
  • Ability to work within an existing codebase, improve code quality, and follow project conventions
  • Comfortable with modern JavaScript, understands ES6+ modules, and knows how to structure a project effectively
  • User experience–driven with a product mindset (i.e. able to propose practical technical solutions)
  • Proactive, autonomous, and solutions-oriented; able to adapt quickly to a constantly evolving environment
  • Clear communicator (in French and/or English), able to document code and collaborate in a team
  • Curious about TypeScript, with a willingness to adopt it if not already doing so

What We Offer

  • Annual salary between $70,000 $ and $80,000 (depends on experience and expertise)
  • 35-hour work week
  • 100% remote work with occasional participation in meetings at our coworking space in Montreal (access available at all times depending on your needs)
  • Ability to work from anywhere in the world as long as you respect Quebec business hours (perfect for digital nomads !)
  • 3 weeks of vacation, plus 1 paid week off between Christmas and New Year’s
  • RRSP with Milesopedia contribution 
  • Flexible spending account to use according to your needs 
  • … And most importantly, a small, skilled and driven team where you’ll have a direct impact on our international development

Why Join Us?

  • To contribute to the development of the leading bilingual platform for travel rewards and financial products in Canada
  • To be part of an agile, technical, and proactive team
  • To take on a key role with real decision-making freedom
  • To thrive in a flexible and stimulating work environment
  • To put your expertise to work on concrete, high-visibility projects that have a real impact on high-traffic platforms
