Keep the site's PHP version and dependencies current and supported on WPEngine

Requirements:

5+ years of professional WordPress development experience, with a focus on custom themes rather than page builders

Deep experience with ACF, custom post types, taxonomies, and WordPress template hierarchy

Experience maintaining and troubleshooting production WordPress sites, including plugin conflicts, updates, and security hardening

Hands-on experience with WPEngine or a similar managed WordPress host

Comfort working in Git and GitHub with a pull-request-based workflow
