WordPress Plugin Developer

About this role

We're hiring a product-focused senior WordPress developer to own and lead the build of our Block Protocol Gutenberg plugin. In this role, you'll be tasked with getting an initial MVP out the door fast, and working to evolve it into a high-quality product that unlocks the entire Block Protocol ecosystem of blocks for all users of WordPress (both technical and not). In doing so you'll extend the range of blocks available to users within Gutenberg and multiply the utility of WordPress as a tool for content-management and website building as a whole. This project has some notable watchers, including WordPress creator Matt Mullenweg.

We are hiring globally for this role, with a preference for those operating on European timezones, or based in-person in London where HASH's Block Protocol team are currently based. Depending on circumstance and preference, the opportunity exists for in-person or remote work.
