Skills and capabilities most closely associated with this opportunity.

Sample interview questions
How would you approach improving performance for a high-traffic WordPress site?

I would begin with profiling to identify database, PHP, rendering, and external-service bottlenecks. I would then apply targeted improvements such as object and page caching, query optimization, CDN usage, efficient asset delivery, and scalable infrastructure behind a load balancer. I would validate each change with monitoring and load testing.

Describe how you would structure a custom WordPress plugin for long-term maintainability.

I would use clear separation between domain logic, admin functionality, public hooks, templates, and integrations. The plugin would follow WordPress coding standards, use namespacing or unique prefixes, protect inputs with validation and nonces, and include automated tests where feasible. I would also document configuration, data migrations, and extension points.

What factors do you consider when designing PHP application architecture?

I consider domain boundaries, maintainability, testability, security, performance, observability, and expected traffic growth. I favor clear interfaces, dependency injection, appropriate caching, reliable error handling, and a deployment strategy that supports safe rollback. The architecture should solve current needs without creating unnecessary complexity.

How do you handle a database issue affecting several WordPress sites?

I first assess impact and stabilize the service, for example by reducing expensive queries, using cached responses, or rolling back a recent change. I inspect slow-query logs, indexes, connection usage, and shared database dependencies to isolate the cause. After resolving the incident, I document root causes and implement preventative monitoring or schema improvements.

How do you provide useful feedback in code reviews for less experienced developers?

I focus on correctness, clarity, maintainability, security, and alignment with team standards rather than personal preferences. I explain the reasoning behind important suggestions, distinguish blocking issues from optional improvements, and offer examples or pairing support when useful. The goal is to improve both the code and the developer's confidence.
