BBE Marketing

We run a B2B data platform for the entertainment industry — it tracks talent, who represents them, the deals they're doing, and the data surrounding all of it. The product is established and has been around for almost 10 years with paying customers; we're not a pre-launch startup.
 

We're rebuilding the platform from Symfony/Angular to Django and React, and we're hiring a senior developer to lead the rebuild — owning the architecture, setting technical direction, and assigning and reviewing work for our current developer. After the rebuild ships, you'll stay on as the long-term owner of the system. 

This is a permanent role, not a contract that ends with the migration.

We want more than a ticket-taker. You should understand the business logic behind what you're building, push back when a requirement doesn't match how users actually work, and drive architecture decisions.

Must have

• 6+ years of professional Python/Django experience
• Strong experience building REST APIs with Django REST Framework
• Has built and shipped systems from scratch, and owned a codebase long-term
• Experience with data-heavy applications (large datasets, complex querying, migrations)
• Comfortable leading: planning work, delegating tasks, and reviewing another developer's code
• Strong written and spoken English — you'll work directly with non-technical stakeholders
• 4+ hours of daily overlap with US Eastern time
• Advanced English speaking

Nice to have

• Hands-on React experience (our frontend stack)
• Experience rebuilding or migrating legacy systems (Symfony familiarity a bonus)
• Django Admin customization
• Third-party API integrations

This is for our product Booking Agent Info (BookingAgentInfo.com)

This isn't a standard WordPress role. We're looking for someone with deep technical ability who can work across databases, write and integrate APIs, and build advanced custom solutions — not just configure templates and plugins.
 

We move fast and care about hitting real product milestones. That means the work has intensity: sprints where you're heads-down solving hard problems, and moments where extra effort makes the difference between shipping on time and slipping. 

We're looking for someone who brings genuine drive and ownership to that, not someone clocking in and out. We want sustainable intensity from people who care about what they're building.
 

If you take initiative without being asked, think beyond the ticket in front of you, and want to help shape a product rather than just execute tasks, this could be a great fit.

What You'll Do:

• Design and build custom WordPress functionality beyond standard themes/plugins (custom post types, advanced ACF/Gutenberg blocks, plugin architecture)
• Write and integrate REST/GraphQL APIs connecting WordPress to internal tools and third-party services
• Manage and optimize large, complex databases for performance and scale
• Own features end-to-end: scoping, building, testing, and shipping
• Identify technical debt or UX friction and propose solutions proactively
• Maintain and extend multilingual site infrastructure (Polylang/WPML)
   

What We're Looking For

• Deep PHP/WordPress expertise — comfortable well beyond theme/plugin basics; experience building and scaling complex platforms
• API development — building and integrating APIs from scratch, not just consuming third-party plugins
• Database fluency — managing, querying, and optimizing large databases
• Multilingual site experience — hands-on with Polylang or WPML
• Ownership mindset — you test your own work, troubleshoot edge cases, and follow through without being chased
• Product sense — you think about user experience and business impact, not just code correctness

• 5+ years building production WordPress applications
