Department: Information Technology

Description

At GTECH Information Technology, we deliver enterprise-level digital solutions that combine creativity, technical depth, and flawless execution. From government portals and large-scale websites to immersive event experiences, our team thrives on projects that truly make an impact. We are proud to be named a Great Place to Work in the UAE 🌍

About the role

GTECH builds and maintains a large portfolio of WordPress websites for brands across the Middle East. We're looking for a hands-on WordPress Specialist who can own a website from design to front-end to back-end, turning approved designs into pixel-accurate, responsive WordPress builds, and extending them with custom functionality where needed.

Because so much of our work targets the Middle East market, this role requires a native Arabic speaker who can read and write Arabic, you'll be building and testing right-to-left (RTL) layouts, handling Arabic typography, and making sure bilingual (Arabic/English) sites look and read correctly.

This is a delivery-focused developer role. You'll work closely with our designers, project managers, and SEO/marketing team to ship clean, fast, secure WordPress sites.

Convert approved designs (Figma / Adobe XD / PSD) into responsive, pixel-accurate WordPress themes.
Build and customize WordPress themes and child themes , front-end (HTML5, CSS3/SCSS, JavaScript) and back-end (PHP, WordPress APIs).
Develop custom functionality: custom post types, taxonomies, and fields using ACF (Advanced Custom Fields); build or extend custom plugins.
Build and maintain Arabic / RTL and bilingual sites, correct RTL layouts, Arabic fonts/typography, and multilingual setups (e.g. WPML / Polylang).
Work with page builders where relevant (Elementor, Gutenberg / block editor) and know when to build custom instead.
Build and maintain WooCommerce stores where required.
Optimize sites for speed, Core Web Vitals, responsiveness, and cross-browser compatibility.
Apply WordPress security best practices; keep core, themes, and plugins updated and safe.
Handle site migrations, staging-to-live deployments, backups, and basic hosting/DNS tasks.
Debug and resolve theme, plugin, and performance issues across the existing site portfolio.
Use Git for version control and collaborate with the team on a shared workflow.
Coordinate with designers, project managers, and the SEO team so builds are on-brief, on-time, and SEO-friendly.

Requirements

3–5 years of hands-on WordPress development experience, ideally in an agency or multi-site environment.
Native Arabic (read & write) with the ability to build and QA Arabic/RTL and bilingual websites; strong English for team communication.
Strong front-end skills: HTML5, CSS3/SCSS, JavaScript (and jQuery), responsive design.
Strong WordPress back-end skills: PHP, MySQL, WordPress theme & plugin APIs, hooks/filters.
Hands-on experience with ACF, custom post types, and custom fields.
Experience taking a design file and producing a clean, faithful, responsive WordPress build.
WooCommerce experience.
Familiarity with page builders (Elementor and/or Gutenberg blocks).
Understanding of WordPress security, performance optimization, and Core Web Vitals.
Comfortable with Git and a collaborative development workflow.
Reliable remote worker , self-managing, communicative, and able to hit deadlines.

Nice to have

Multilingual plugin experience (WPML, Polylang).
Basic on-page SEO awareness (clean markup, schema, page speed).
Experience with headless WordPress or REST API / custom API work.
Familiarity with a broader stack (Node/React or Laravel), useful, but this is a WordPress-first role.
Experience with CI/CD or automated deployment tools.
A portfolio of live WordPress and Arabic/RTL sites.
