MonetizeMore enables digital publishers to build sustainable businesses by maximizing their advertising revenue with privacy‑first, cutting‑edge ad tech. We are a fully remote, globally distributed team that values ownership, curiosity, and continuous improvement.

The Role

We’re looking for a Software Engineer (WordPress) with strong PHP and WordPress experience to help us build, scale, and maintain high‑performance publisher sites and WordPress‑based products that integrate with our ad tech stack. You’ll collaborate with product managers, designers, and other engineers to ship features end‑to‑end in an agile, asynchronous environment.

What You’ll Do

Design, develop, and maintain custom WordPress plugins and themes using modern PHP
Build REST APIs and integrations with internal services and third‑party platforms (analytics, ad tech, SSO, etc.)
Optimize performance (Core Web Vitals), security, and reliability across high‑traffic sites
Implement CI/CD pipelines, automated tests, and code quality tooling
Diagnose and resolve production issues; participate in an on‑call rotation (reasonable schedule, follow‑the‑sun)
Partner with stakeholders to estimate effort, break down work, and deliver iterative value
Contribute to engineering standards, documentation, and knowledge sharing

You’ll Thrive Here If You

Enjoy owning features from design to deployment
Communicate clearly in an async, remote‑first culture (Slack, docs, PRs)
Care about developer experience, code quality, and maintainability
