Freelance Web Developer (WordPress)

We’re looking for an experienced Freelance Web Developer to support a London-based IT services company on an ad‑hoc, project-based basis. 

This role is highly delivery-focused. You’ll work from clearly defined technical briefs, delivering WordPress and web development tasks efficiently and to a high standard. The internal engineering team handles client communication. 

The opportunity 

This role combines flexible freelance work with the option to be part of a Kyiv-based technical environment. You will have access to our fully-equipped office, complete with solar-powered generators that provide eight hours of uninterrupted power, a Starlink backup satellite network, coffee and snacks, and monthly social events.  

What you’ll do 

• Build and amend WordPress websites 
• Implement front-end and back-end changes 
• Fix bugs and resolve technical issues 
• Handle hosting-related tasks (DNS, VPS, migrations) 
• Work from written briefs or tickets 
• Provide clear delivery timelines and progress updates 
• Collaborate with engineers in Kyiv and stakeholders in London 

Tech Stack 

• WordPress 
• HTML, CSS, JavaScript 
• PHP, MySQL 
• Git 
• Hosting environments & migrations 
• Cross-browser development 
• English level B2 or above (spoken and written) 

Requirements 

• 3+ years commercial web development experience 
• English level B2 or above 
• Confident working independently as a freelancer 
• Reliable availability during UK business days 
• Responsive (able to acknowledge new work within 1 business day) 

Nice to have 

• SEO implementation experience 
• Ability to work from a Kyiv office once per month (optional but preferred) 

Cultural fit 

• Comfortable collaborating with other engineers (async and occasional live contact) 
• Clear, professional communicator, even when work is task-based 
• Open to being part of a wider technical community, not a “heads‑down, no‑contact” setup 
• Happy to occasionally work alongside others rather than being fully isolated 

Engagement 

• Freelance / self‑employed; registered as a Private Entrepreneur 
• Hourly or day rates (day blocks preferred where possible) 
• Flexible workload depending on demand
