About the Project

We manage a UK based prescription drug e commerce site built on WordPress. For over a decade, the site has been flooded with spam user registrations despite using multiple plugins (mobile verification, math challenges, CAPTCHA, etc.). Spam accounts continue to bypass these measures, as shown in the attached screenshot. We need a developer who can think like an attacker, identify the loopholes, and implement a robust, long term solution.

Your Role

• Audit the current WordPress registration and login flows, including all security plugins and custom code.
• Identify how bots are circumventing existing protections (e.g., API abuse, headless browsers, plugin vulnerabilities).
• Develop and implement advanced anti spam measures tailored to the site’s architecture (e.g., custom challenges, behavior analysis, honeypots, rate limiting, or integration with third party services like Cloudflare Turnstile).
• Ensure the solution is lightweight, user friendly for genuine customers, and maintainable.
• Provide documentation and a brief hand off to the client.

Must Have Requirements

• Proven experience with WordPress security, specifically combating spam registrations and bot attacks.
• Strong PHP and WordPress development skills (themes, plugins, hooks, REST API).
• Familiarity with modern anti spam techniques (CAPTCHA variants, JavaScript challenges, IP analysis, browser fingerprinting, etc.).
• Ability to reverse engineer how bots work and test your own solutions.
• Portfolio of similar projects – please include links or descriptions of past work where you successfully reduced spam or secured a WordPress site.
• Excellent communication in English (written and spoken).

Nice to Have

• Experience with e commerce platforms (WooCommerce) and membership sites.
• Knowledge of server level security (e.g., fail2ban, ModSecurity) and CDN configurations.
• Contributions to WordPress core or security plugins.

Benefits

• 100% remote – work from anywhere in your timezone.
• Flexible hours – focus on delivery, not clock watching.
• Direct collaboration with the client – no middlemen, no bureaucracy.
• Impactful work – solve a decade old problem that actually matters to the business.
• Potential for ongoing work – if results are strong, there may be additional security projects.

How to Apply

Submit application with the following:

• Resume / CV highlighting relevant experience.
• Portfolio of similar anti spam or WordPress security projects (links or PDF).
• Cover letter (optional but encouraged) – briefly describe your approach to diagnosing and solving spam issues like the one described.

Deadline: Applications reviewed on a rolling basis. We’re looking for someone who can start within a week.

Key Skills:

WordPress Security, Anti Spam, Bot Mitigation, PHP Development, WordPress Plugin Development, Custom WordPress Development, CAPTCHA Integration, Cloudflare Turnstile, Honeypot Techniques, Rate Limiting, JavaScript Challenges, Browser Fingerprinting, IP Analysis, REST API Security, WooCommerce Security, Membership Site Security, fail2ban, ModSecurity, CDN Configuration, Vulnerability Assessment, Reverse Engineering Bots, User Registration Flow, Login Security, Code Audit, Performance Optimization

The Role

We’re looking for a WordPress developer who takes ownership of technical direction, not just closes tickets. You’ll build custom themes from the ground up using core WordPress functionality. You’ll also maintain and improve existing client sites, some of which aren’t as advanced as the sites we’re currently making. We need someone who can write code, troubleshoot problems and isn’t above rolling up their sleeves on whatever a project requires.

You’ll transform designs into clean, responsive websites, develop custom solutions, and build sites that perform well across all devices. When something isn’t working, we expect you to dig into why, not just flag it and wait. You approach a quick content update with the same care as a full site build.

Your typical week includes hand-coding WordPress themes, building WooCommerce functionality, optimizing site performance, and collaborating with the team to ensure seamless design-to-development workflows. You’ll work across multiple client projects simultaneously at agency pace.

What You’ll Need

Required:

• 3+ years experience building custom WordPress themes from the ground up
• Proficiency with PHP, JavaScript (ES6+), HTML5, and CSS3
• Gutenberg block development experience
• Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) proficiency
• WooCommerce development and customization experience
• WordPress REST API experience
• Strong ability to convert Figma designs to responsive, clean code
• Knowledge of accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1)
• API integration experience (third-party services, payment gateways)
• Version control with Git
• Understanding of Core Web Vitals and performance optimization
• Portfolio demonstrating custom-coded, responsive websites (no page builder work)
