Role

Who you are

8+ years professional web development experience; 4+ years hands-on WordPress/PHP development at scale
Demonstrated lead-level influence (mentoring, establishing standards)
Deep proficiency in PHP, modern JavaScript (ES6+), HTML5, and CSS3/SCSS, with a strong grasp of code architecture principles (Model-View-Controller). Skilled in asynchronous programming patterns and API integrations (REST/JSON)
Proven record of improving page performance and Core Web Vitals on marketing or content-heavy sites
Testing mindset: comfortable with unit (PHPUnit), integration, and end-to-end (Playwright or similar) test strategies
Hands-on experience diagnosing and resolving cross-browser/front-end compatibility issues (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) and responsive layout bugs across major mobile viewports
Experience conducting rigorous code reviews and enforcing coding standards
Ability to coordinate and technically lead contractors (provide clear tasks, feedback, quality gates)
Ability to context switch between architectural work and hands-on feature implementation

What the job involves

You’ll operate as a senior individual contributor and the de facto technical lead across our marketing web properties—owning architecture direction, enforcing coding standards, driving performance excellence, and accelerating high-quality feature delivery
You’ll mentor and oversee contractors, elevate engineering practices, and ensure our WordPress + modern JavaScript stack remains fast, maintainable, and experimentation-ready
Architecture Ownership: Evaluate, refactor, and evolve the WordPress/PHP and frontend JavaScript architecture to ensure scalability, maintainability, and performance across all marketing web properties
Coding Standards & Governance: Establish and document front-end/back-end standards (PHP, JS, HTML, CSS, performance, security basics); drive adoption through PR reviews and mentoring
Performance Optimization: Partner with WebOps to enhance site performance
Feature Delivery: Plan and implement new site features, embedding best practices for performance, accessibility, and maintainability in every release
Code Review & Quality: Maintain timely PR reviews, strengthen automated testing across unit, integration, and end-to-end levels, and ensure regressions are detected early through robust review and test practices
Technical Leadership: Provide direction, unblock issues, and ensure consistent output quality
Tech Debt Management: Systematically reduce technical debt by refactoring outdated templates, consolidating redundant scripts, and eliminating non-standard plugin dependencies to enhance platform stability and scalability
Analytics & Experimentation Enablement: Design, implement, and maintain robust tracking infrastructure and data layer taxonomy to support accurate analytics, event tagging, and A/B testing

Our take

Digital finance innovations across the last decade have dramatically changed how financial operations are conducted, with businesses managing their payables workloads digitally. Despite such innovations, many workflows are still conducted manually, leading to time-consuming, repetitive and inefficient workflows.

Tipalti provides a global payments, accounts payable and purchase order automation platform, with tools for each area to reduce manual workflows and optimize operations. The platform’s functionalities are designed to be flexible for the scaling of growing businesses, helping to optimize financial visibility, efficiency and control without the need for business infrastructure changes.

Whilst individual platforms exist for these functions, Tipalti has recognized that businesses do not want to juggle fragmented software solutions inefficiently, and delivers everything in one place. It continues to develop its offering, with a recent influx of funding supporting the incorporation of agentic artificial intelligence capabilities.
