About GenD
GenD is a developer-first platform that packages local WordPress development, AI automation, contract management, and project management into one unified toolset. Our flagship products — GenD Web Builder (a desktop app) and gend.me (the SaaS hub) — are in active production and used by freelancers, agencies, and power developers worldwide.
We’re growing fast and need builders who can ship clean, production-ready code on a modern WordPress stack, contribute to plugin development, and help push the platform forward every week.
What You’ll Work On
Real features, shipped to real users — every sprint.
Plugin Development
Build and extend WordPress plugins across PM, CRM, contracts, billing, social tools, and AI agent systems.
Frontend / UI
Craft responsive dashboards and admin UIs with Tailwind or vanilla CSS matching our glassmorphic design system.
REST API & Integrations
Build and consume REST endpoints, webhook handlers, and third-party integrations (Stripe, Anthropic, GitHub, Slack).
AI Feature Work
Wire Claude API into platform flows — agent sequences, smart form fills, content generation, and automation triggers.
Docker / Local Dev
Contribute to the GenD Web Builder desktop app — Docker orchestration, WP-CLI automation, and local environment tooling.
Security & Quality
Enforce capability checks, nonce validation, and sanitisation. Write code that passes audit, not just review.

FAQ
Is this full-time or part-time?
Contract / part-time to start. Most contributors work 10–25 hours per week, with paths to full-time as engagement grows.
Do I need WordPress-specific experience?
Yes — our stack is plugin-based PHP on WordPress. Strong general PHP developers who are new to WP can still apply; we look at how fast you learn.
Is the trial task actually paid?
Yes, always. We don’t do unpaid test tasks. The trial is a real scoped ticket paid at your agreed hourly rate.
Can I work on just one product area?
Yes. We’ll match your skills to the product lines that fit best — whether that’s plugin backend, frontend UI, or AI integrations.
What does day-to-day communication look like?
Async-first via the GenD PM system — sprint tasks, comments, and async check-ins. No mandatory daily standups.
