Are you a creative and curious Software Engineer who enjoys blending WordPress development with modern frontend technologies? The Brand Experience area is looking for someone like you!

The Wow

Brand Experience is one of the largest and most visible areas within our product organisation. You’ll be joining a cross-functional team of designers, developers, and product owners, building tools and interfaces used by hundreds of thousands of users every day.

This role gives you the chance to work on a wide range of exciting projects – from building custom WordPress themes and Gutenberg blocks to integrating frontend components with cloud-native infrastructure. You’ll have impact from day one.

With more than 2,800 colleagues representing over 75 nationalities across a global network of offices – including 1,500 at our operational headquarters in Malta – every day brings new challenges and opportunities to grow.
