About the Role
We’re seeking an experienced Senior WooCommerce Developer to lead the buildout of an MVP for a B2B e-commerce marketplace connecting natural product brands with independent retailers. The platform is being rebuilt on WordPress using WooCommerce and key B2B plugins.
You’ll be responsible for standing up the MVP from a functional and architectural perspective, with an emphasis on custom workflows, multi-distributor logic, and a clean, modular codebase that supports long-term extensibility. The ideal candidate has deep experience working with WooCommerce in a B2B context and is comfortable collaborating with non-technical stakeholders.
Responsibilities
- Set up WooCommerce using the Bacola theme on a staging environment.
- Integrate and configure B2B-specific plugins (e.g., B2B King, Dokan).
- Implement multi-distributor logic:
- Retailer selects a distribution center (DC) upon registration.
- Product catalog filtered by selected DC.
- Orders split by DC and routed to appropriate contacts via email and PDF.
- Build PO-based order checkout (no credit card processing).
- Create and manage:
- Buyer account number fields.
- Approval workflows for new accounts.
- CSV importer for bulk product uploads.
- Maintain and share documentation, plugin configurations, and GitHub repositories.
- Collaborate closely with the internal team to ensure clarity, transparency, and maintainability throughout the build.
Required Skills
- Proven expertise with WooCommerce and custom B2B e-commerce implementations.
- Strong PHP and WordPress development experience.
- Familiarity with multi-warehouse or multi-vendor workflows.
- Proficiency working with WooCommerce plugins like B2B King and Dokan.
- Experience building and automating workflows for purchase order routing, distributor selection, and dynamic product filtering.
- Solid understanding of Git version control and code documentation best practices.
- Excellent communication and ability to work asynchronously with distributed teams.
Nice to Have Skills
- Prior experience working on marketplaces or distribution platforms in the CPG or retail sector.
- Familiarity with tools like Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) or WP All Import for custom data handling.
- Experience building scalable MVPs with a clear path to long-term platform evolution.
- Comfort working in a contractor-friendly environment where code ownership and handoff are important.
Additional Information
- Candidates should be capable of working independently and producing clean, well-documented, and maintainable code.
- The team places strong emphasis on developer ownership, transparency, and code handover - avoiding long-term dependency on a single developer is a key objective.
