Software Engineer

Job Description

What You’ll Do

• Develop new features and improvements for the Newbook Websites product, building and maintaining custom WordPress themes, plugins, and integrations that connect operator websites to the Newbook platform and booking flows.
• Use AI-assisted development tools to accelerate coding, debugging, testing, refactoring, documentation, technical discovery, and design work.
• Apply solid engineering fundamentals when reviewing AI-generated code, ensuring correctness, security, maintainability, and alignment with WordPress and system architecture.
• Build reliable frontend experiences with modern JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, applying React where appropriate for more interactive components.
• Integrate WordPress with the Newbook platform and third-party services via REST APIs, webhooks, and the WordPress REST API.
• Collaborate with infrastructure and platform teams when application work touches CI/CD, AWS services, deployment workflows, monitoring, or reliability concerns.
• Help reduce technical debt through thoughtful refactoring and incremental improvements to the themes, plugins, and code you work in.
• Care about performance, accessibility, SEO, and security across the customer-facing websites we ship.
• Troubleshoot internal bugs and customer-reported issues effectively, balancing speed with long-term code quality.
• Collaborate with product managers, designers, support teams, and other engineers to translate business and customer needs into reliable technical solutions.
• Participate actively in collaborative development practices, including stand-ups, retrospectives, backlog refinement, and technical design discussions, and contribute to technical design documents for the work you own.
• Write and maintain unit, integration, and functional tests to ensure confidence in the systems we build.
• Explore new tools, technologies, and AI-enabled workflows that can improve your productivity and the quality of what you ship.

What We’re Looking For

• 3–5 years of practical software engineering experience, preferably including experience building and maintaining production web applications.
• Required: hands-on, production WordPress experience, including building and maintaining custom themes and/or plugins, working with WordPress hooks (actions and filters), the block editor, and the WordPress REST API.
• Solid development experience with PHP and MySQL, plus modern JavaScript, HTML, and CSS on the frontend. Experience with TypeScript and React is a plus.
• Experience shipping software in real-world production environments where reliability, maintainability, and customer impact matter.
• Solid software engineering fundamentals, with demonstrated experience using AI-assisted development tools as part of a modern engineering workflow.
• Hands-on experience using AI-assisted development tools as a normal part of day-to-day engineering work.
• Strong ability to evaluate, correct, and improve AI-generated code rather than accepting outputs blindly.
• A working understanding of software architecture, debugging, testing, performance, scalability, and technical tradeoffs (including the performance, security, and SEO considerations specific to customer-facing WordPress sites).
• Some exposure to cloud infrastructure, CI/CD systems, AWS services, serverless functions, deployment workflows, or related infrastructure tooling is helpful, but not required.
• Good problem-solving skills and the ability to break down technical challenges into clear, executable steps.
• Strong communication skills. You should be able to explain your technical decisions clearly to technical and non-technical teammates through async updates, documentation, and collaborative discussion.
• A collaborative mindset and a willingness to give and receive feedback, share what you learn, and grow alongside the team.
