Experienced Software Engineer Overview

Requirements

What we're looking for

Enough about us, let’s talk more about you. Working at Automattic might be a good fit if:

• You care and often obsess over the quality and the details of your work.
• Debugging any problem is a fun challenge and not a chore.
• Understanding the layers of abstraction below and above your work isn’t something extra, but how you operate.
• You have production experience with several programming languages, frameworks, and paradigms. We mostly use PHP and JavaScript at Automattic, we expect you to be comfortable with the idea of becoming an expert in these languages, even if being one isn’t a requirement to apply.
• In your mind abstraction is associated as much with cost as it is with value.
• You have experience working at scale – it can be on the backend and performance side, or via the complexity of interacting with a multi-million diverse userbase.

Pay & benefits

Salary range: $70,000-$170,000 USD. Please note that salary ranges are global, regardless of location, and we pay in local currency.

The role

WordPress doesn’t try to keep its users inside walled gardens, a rare thing in a world that is dangerously moving away from the open web. Instead, WordPress gives them the freedom to build a business website, an online store, or a personal blog – the way they like it. Big sites or small, using the community-run open source project or Automattic’s WordPress.com , vanilla or customized with hundreds of plugins, WordPress users always get to own and control their data, their expression, and their freedom.

We’re always looking for talented and experienced engineers worldwide, excited to help Automattic’s product ecosystem, and join our mission to make the web a better place.

How you'll work

• Are open and able to travel 3-4 weeks per year to meet up with your teammates in person.

These are exciting times at Automattic and you’ll have a unique opportunity to shape the future of our products. Join us! We look forward to hearing from you.

What have we worked on recently?

• AI is at the heart of many new product developments and powers a lot of our day-to-day development workflows.
• WooCommerce is the most popular and most flexible e-commerce platform on the web. We’re working tirelessly on giving you all the control, while keeping the platform fast and stable.
• Gutenberg is a new block-level editor for WordPress with clean abstractions for users, too, not just developers.
• Tumblr is a microblogging social network where users create, share, and follow what they love.
