Core Engineering at Automattic: General Interest Submissions

Are you a product-focused engineer who enjoys tackling complex challenges and finding practical solutions for users? We are looking for talented individuals to join our team and help us build impactful technology. At Automattic, we are deeply committed to the power of open source, and we take pride in managing products that operate at a massive scale for a global user base.

What you bring

We are seeking a Senior engineer for a Full Time, Remote position that can be performed from Anywhere. You will be expected to work across our entire stack, using your expertise in Engineering, PHP, and Debugging to improve our systems. Your primary responsibilities will include:

• Taking ownership of diverse projects to solve real user problems.
• Diving into our codebase to troubleshoot and resolve stubborn technical issues.
• Contributing to our backend infrastructure with a focus on simple, effective solutions.

Requirements

The ideal candidate is a self-motivated learner who prioritizes understanding the core problems our users face. You should be comfortable working with PHP and have a passion for Debugging. We value engineers who are not afraid to explore legacy code or take on tasks outside of their immediate comfort zone. Proficiency in English is required, and you should possess a mindset that favors straightforward, boring technology over unnecessary complexity. We look for people who view every new corner of the codebase as an exciting challenge rather than a chore.

What we offer

We foster an environment where you have the autonomy and flexibility to make a genuine impact on our business and our users. We avoid rigid hierarchies, so you will not find formal engineering titles or levels here. Our culture supports your growth through the following benefits:

• The ability to work from anywhere with Remote work options.
• The freedom to move between different teams and projects without bureaucratic hurdles.
• The opportunity to contribute to products that operate at a significant scale.
