Ready to Make An Impact On The Web?
ElegantThemes.com is a leader in WordPress Theme & Plugin Development. We have been building the top premium WordPress themes and plugins for the past 16 years and we maintain the largest customer bases in the ecosystem. 974,872 users, freelance developers and web design agencies depend on our beautiful designs and we work hard everyday to make sure we are creating the best WordPress products on the web. Divi, our flagship theme and page builder plugin is pushing the boundaries and has inspired an absolutely amazing community to form around it. A focus on community is a core part of our culture and it makes our work environment a truly rewarding one.
As a WordPress and React Developer at Elegant Themes, you will be working with a small and agile team made up of talented devs from all around the world.

Self-motivated individuals tend to thrive best here, and we are looking for someone filled with inspiration and who isn't afraid to take initiative.
This position is for someone with a deep understanding of WordPress as well as React. You have built your own themes and plugins before and possibly even contributed to WordPress Core. You enjoy finding elegant solutions to complex problems and are familiar with the WordPress motto - "code is poetry." You are up-to-date with the latest and greatest trends and technologies because you are engaged in the open source community and you enjoy building software that pushes the web forward. While WordPress is a PHP-based application, our flagship product uses a front-end interface built with React and Flux. A good amount of your time will be spent developing with JavaScript.
