About Devasaa
Devasaa is a full-service Technology & Digital Marketing agency built on one belief: that the right digital strategy is a growth engine, not just a support function. Our team of creative thinkers and technical experts partners with businesses to navigate the complexities of the digital landscape — delivering targeted, high-impact solutions that solve real problems and drive measurable results. We don’t just deliver projects; we build long-term partnerships that evolve with your business.
The Role
We are seeking an experienced Senior WordPress Developer to take full ownership of Devasaa’s core web platform. This is a hands-on, end-to-end role — you will be the primary developer responsible for architecture, performance, security, UI/UX implementation, and continuous improvement of a high-traffic, production-grade WordPress environment.
This is not a ticket-closing role. We are looking for someone who thinks like an owner, takes initiative, and brings solutions to the table.

Set up and manage Open Graph and social meta tags, Facebook / Instagram feed integrations, LinkedIn and Twitter / X embeds, social sharing optimization, and social media API connections (Meta, LinkedIn, Twitter / X, Pinterest). - Third Party Integrations
Integrate CRM platforms (HubSpot, Zoho), marketing automation tools (Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign, Klaviyo), and webhook / Zapier-based automations with WordPress environments. - Staging & Backup Management
Maintain staging environments for all active projects, implement backup and restoration protocols, and manage safe deployments from staging to live. - Process & Collaboration
Operate within an Agile/Scrum framework using Jira / Shortcut for sprint and task management, Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Drive, Meet) for all documentation and team communication, and Slack for day-to-day collaboration. - Accessibility & Compliance
Ensure all builds meet WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards, GDPR compliance requirements, and technical SEO best practices. - Maintenance (AMC)
