About the Role
We are a leading medical communications agency building digital infrastructure — websites and mobile applications — for pharmaceutical and healthcare education brands. We’re looking for a WordPress App Developer who can own the full stack: a headless WordPress backend feeding a React Native/Expo mobile app, plus the Linux server environment that keeps it all running reliably.
This is a high-ownership role for someone who’s equally comfortable in WordPress’s PHP/plugin ecosystem, a modern JS-based mobile app, and the Linux server stack underneath both.
What You’ll Do
- Architect and build headless WordPress setups — exposing content via REST API/WPGraphQL for consumption by a mobile front end
- Develop and maintain the companion mobile application using React Native (Expo), including builds and releases via EAS Build
- Integrate Firebase Analytics (and other Firebase services as needed) into the mobile app
- Manage WordPress development including custom plugins, theme customization, and form/membership solutions (e.g., Ultimate Member)
- Own Linux server administration and hosting — provisioning, configuration, security hardening, and ongoing maintenance (current stack hosted on Hostinger)
- Handle DNS and email infrastructure — MX records, SPF, DKIM, and troubleshooting deliverability issues (e.g., migrating from host-default mail records to Google Workspace)
- Monitor server health, uptime, backups, and performance; troubleshoot issues proactively
- Implement security best practices across WordPress sites and server environments (SSL, firewalls, malware prevention, access control)
- Collaborate with design and content teams to implement features, forms, and custom functionality across multiple brand websites
- Maintain documentation for server configurations, deployment processes, and app build pipelines
What We’re Looking For
- 3-5 years of experience in WordPress development, with demonstrable experience building or maintaining a headless WordPress architecture
- Hands-on experience with React Native and Expo, including EAS Build for app deployment
- Working knowledge of Firebase (Analytics at minimum; Firestore/Auth a plus)
- Strong command of Linux server administration — comfortable in the command line, managing services, and basic hardening
- Practical experience with DNS management (MX, SPF, DKIM, CNAME records) and email deliverability troubleshooting
- Proficiency in PHP, MySQL, and the WordPress plugin/theme ecosystem
- Familiarity with hosting platforms (Hostinger or similar) and Google Workspace administration
- Understanding of REST APIs/WPGraphQL for headless content delivery
- Strong debugging skills across the stack — from PHP backend to mobile app to server config
Good to Have
- Experience publishing apps to the App Store and Google Play
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines for mobile or web deployment
- Experience with security compliance relevant to healthcare/pharma digital platforms
- Prior experience working with medical, pharma, or healthcare-sector clients
- Knowledge of caching, CDN setup, and site performance optimization
Why Join Us
- Full ownership of a modern headless WordPress + mobile app architecture from the ground up
- Work spans the entire stack — server to backend to mobile app — ideal for a developer who wants breadth, not just one layer
- Build digital products that directly support medical education and healthcare communication
- Collaborative environment working closely with design, content, and infrastructure stakeholders
