What the work is
Most GoDesign websites and stores run on WordPress and WooCommerce, built on Elementor, Kadence or custom themes. A developer here builds those sites from Figma designs, extends them with custom plugins when the bundled features stop short, fixes performance and security problems, and migrates sites between hosts and platforms. Recent examples are in the case studies: custom WooCommerce templates and German Market integration for a coffee roastery, a recipe management system for a food site, a booking integration for a transport company.
Responsibilities
- Build pixel-accurate WordPress sites from Figma, mobile first, passing Core Web Vitals.
- Write custom plugins and theme functions in PHP: custom post types, ACF-driven templates, WooCommerce hooks, REST endpoints.
- Extend existing plugins without forking them, so client sites stay updatable.
- Diagnose slow sites and fix the cause: queries, caching, images, bloated builders.
- Handle migrations, staging, backups and deployments through the host's tooling and Git.
- Document what you built so the project manager and the client can run the site.
Skills we expect
- PHP 8 and modern WordPress: hooks, the block editor, WP-CLI, security basics.
- WooCommerce internals: product types, checkout, payment gateways, order emails.
- HTML, CSS and JavaScript well enough to build a layout without a builder when needed.
- Git, staging workflows and at least one of Hostinger, Cloudways, Kinsta or cPanel hosting.
- Bonus: React or Next.js, Shopify Liquid, or Zoho and n8n integrations.
How hiring works
A short application through the listing, a paid test task on a real problem from a past project, then a technical conversation with our CTO and a call with a project manager. We tell every applicant the outcome. Open roles, including WordPress and full-stack development, are listed at app.godesign.pk/jobs.

Common questions
- Is the WordPress developer role remote?
- Hybrid. The core team works from the Islamabad office; experienced developers elsewhere in Pakistan work remotely with a monthly visit. Hours overlap with UK, Gulf and US client time zones.
- Do you hire junior developers?
- Occasionally, when a senior developer has capacity to mentor. Junior listings say so explicitly; the standing role expects two or more years of WordPress delivery.
- Where do I apply?
- At app.godesign.pk/jobs. Applications by email are not tracked.
