Test-First Mindset: Implement and advocate for ATDD (Acceptance Test-Driven Development) and TDD (Test-Driven Development) practices to ensure an executable understanding of the intended behavior that will drive development. CD Pipeline Stewardship: Own and optimize Continuous Delivery pipelines using VIP-CLI and GitHub Actions, ensuring every commit is "deploy-ready" through automated linting, unit testing, and integration tests. Agile Collaboration & Servant Leadership Act as a servant leader by removing technical blockers and facilitating pair programming to socialize testing best practices across the team. Proactively identify technical debt and platform risks, taking the initiative to refactor code for better testability and performance. Who you are: 7+ years of professional PHP experience, with deep expertise in the WordPress VIP ecosystem. Testing Mastery: Proven experience with testing frameworks (e.g., PHPUnit, Playwright, Behat, or Cypress) and a commitment to TDD/BDD workflows. CI/CD Proficiency: Expert knowledge of modern Continuous Delivery practices and WPVIP-specific deployment constraints. Full-Stack Skills: Strong command of React (Gutenberg), ES6+, and REST/GraphQL API integration. Performance & Security Tooling: Extensive experience with tools such as PHPCS, New Relic, Query Monitor, WPScan and K6/WebPageTest. Engineering Excellence: BDD, ATDD, TDD and CI/CD. Technical Stewardship: WPVIP architecture and high-scale PHP. Servant Leadership: Empowering others through mentorship and knowledge sharing. Proactive Initiative: A self-starter who defines "done" as tested, documented, and deployed.
