Plugin Developer

Context
We are looking for a senior WordPress plugin developer to design and develop a custom WordPress plugin that imports, manages, synchronizes, and displays job postings from Enroll Talent, then presents them effectively on a WordPress site (existing theme).

Mission

• Design the architecture and develop a clean, maintainable, and scalable WordPress plugin

• Integrate the Enroll Talent source (API/feed) to retrieve job postings

• Manage synchronization (initial import + updates + deletion/expiration)

• Provide front-end display tools (shortcodes / blocks / templates)

• Add an administration interface (settings + logs + monitoring)

• Ensure quality, performance, security, documentation, and deployment support

Expected Functional Objectives

1) Import/Synchronization of Enroll Talent

• Connection to Enroll Talent via API (REST/JSON) or feed (XML/JSON/CSV) depending on availability

• Import of offers into WordPress as:

  • Custom Post Type (e.g., job) or other relevant approach

  • Taxonomies (category, contract type, location, etc.)

  • Fields (ACF or native meta fields): title, company, city, province/region, salary, type, date, description, application URL, external identifier, etc.

• Scheduling via WP-Cron (or manual endpoint option / "Synchronize" button)

• Duplicate management via external identifier

• Expired job posting management: deactivation, archiving, or deletion (configurable)

• Logs (basic minimum level): number of imported, updated, ignored, and error job postings

2) Administration / Settings

• Plugin configuration screen:

  • Key/API, feed URL, frequency, filters (optional), debug mode

  • Field mapping (if necessary)

  • Expiration/archiving mode selection

• "Sync Now" tool

• Log display / last sync status

3) Front-end display

• Integration methods:

  • Shortcodes (required) + optionally Gutenberg blocks (bonus)

• Expected pages:

  • List of offers with pagination / lazy loading (optional)

  • Filters: keywords, location, category, contract type (minimum)

  • Offer details page

• SEO:

  • Clean URLs, consistent titles/meta tags, structured data if relevant (bonus)

• Design:

  • Respect for the existing theme (use compatible templates, CSS classes, etc.)

Technical Requirements

• WordPress (core best practices): CPT, taxonomies, meta tags, hooks/actions/filters

• Modern PHP (ideally 7.4+), OOP, namespaces, autoloading (Composer preferred)

• Security: validation/sanitization, capabilities, nonces, admin permissions

• Performance: batch import, query limiting, transients/caching if needed

• Compatibility:

  • WP 6.x

  • Standard themes + page Common builders (ideally without strong dependencies)

• Delivery:

  • Version-controlled plugin (Git), clean structure, README + installation documentation

  • Deployment script/procedure

  • Simple tests or at least a QA checklist

Desired Profile

• Proven experience (3+ years) in custom WordPress plugin development

• Comfortable with API/feed integrations, synchronization, and data mapping

• Ability to propose a robust architecture and anticipate edge cases (duplicates, network errors, quotas, etc.)

• Clear communication, autonomy, rigor

Deliverables

1. Complete WordPress plugin (zip + Git repo)

2. Documentation:

   • Installation + configuration

   • Usage (shortcodes / options)

   • Sync strategy + logs

3. Maintenance guide (how to update the mapping, diagnose an error)

4. Production deployment support (e.g., 1–2 (weeks depending on terms)
