Skills required to become a Full stack WordPress Lead developer

You must be proficient in each of the related technologies in order to secure a remote Full stack WordPress Lead developer job. If you wish to be considered for the position of remote full stack WordPress Lead developer, you should have experience with the following technologies:

1. PHP

PHP is a popular general-purpose scripting language that is used for thousands of websites worldwide. It was created to be embedded into HTML documents and has evolved into a powerful tool for developing dynamic content. PHP is most often used to build complex, database-driven websites. Newer versions of PHP are now being made with security in mind in order to give developers the best possible tools when they are creating new web projects.

2. CSS and HTML

As a web developer, you will need to understand HTML and CSS. HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the basic language used in developing websites. It controls the content and functionality of a website. CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) provides instructions for how to display website content. Both HTML and CSS are essential skills for any applicant applying for a full-stack WordPress lead developer position.

3. JavaScript

For a website to be interactive, developers use client-side scripting languages. Such languages include JavaScript. Also known as JS, this language is one of the most widely used computer languages and is crucial to WordPress development.

The most sophisticated developers leverage their expertise with these web technologies to create more interactive websites that provide superior user experiences.

Therefore, it is essential for candidates applying for a full-stack WordPress Lead developer role to know and understand Github as well as Bitbucket.

5. Django

Django is an open-source, Python web framework used to create database-driven websites. Full-stack WordPress developers use it extensively because it allows them to create stunning, database-driven websites with a clean design and secure infrastructure. Though Django offers these features by default, they are not part of separate libraries, making the development process easier.

6. Bootstrap

Though it is not a requirement, experienced Full stack WordPress lead developers often have a working knowledge of CSS frameworks such as Bootstrap and W3.css. Bootstrap is a CSS framework that contains many components that are used on the most popular websites, including Navigation Bar, Breadcrumbs, Forms, Modals, and Carousel.

We are seeking a Knowledge Graph Expert to help us grow and curate our KG of entities and relationships, bringing it to the next level.


About the Role


We are looking for a detail-oriented and strategic Knowledge Graph Curator. In this role, you will sit at the intersection of AI automation and human judgment. You will not only manage incoming requests from partner teams but also proactively shape the growth of our Knowledge Graph (KG) to ensure high fidelity, relevance, and connectivity.

3. Data Integrity & Stakeholder Management

  • Manual Curation & Debugging: Investigate bug reports from downstream users or automated anomaly detection systems. You will manually fix data errors, merge duplicate entities, and resolve conflicting relationships.
  • Feedback & Reporting: Close the loop with partner teams. You will report on the status of their requests, explain why certain modeling decisions were made, and educate stakeholders on how to best query the new data.


Qualifications for this role:

  • Knowledge Graph Fundamentals: Understanding of graph concepts (Nodes, Edges, Properties)
  • Taxonomy & Ontology: Experience categorizing data, managing hierarchies, and understanding semantic relationships between entities.
  • Data Literacy: Proficiency in navigating complex datasets. Experience with SQL, SPARQL, or Cypher is a strong plus.
  • AI/LLM Familiarity: Understanding of how Generative AI works, common failure modes (hallucinations), and the importance of ground-truth data in training.

Operational & Soft Skills

  • Analytical Prioritization: Ability to look at a list of 50 tasks and determine the 5 that will drive the most business value.
  • Attention to Detail: An "eagle eye" for spotting inconsistencies, typos, and logical fallacies in data.
