WordPress Development, Accelerated with AI
AI-Powered Security Scanning
AI continuously audits your WordPress installation for vulnerable plugins, outdated dependencies, and configuration weaknesses before attackers find them.
Performance Optimization
AI profiles page load times, database queries, and asset delivery, identifying the specific bottlenecks making your WordPress site slow.
Content & SEO Analysis
AI audits your content structure, internal linking, meta tags, and schema markup to ensure your WordPress site is optimized for search visibility.
Faster Theme & Plugin Development
AI-accelerated custom code development means themes and plugins are built, tested, and deployed in tighter cycles without quality sacrifice.
What Our WordPress Developers Build

Bespoke WordPress themes built from Figma designs. Gutenberg block support, responsive layouts, and clean code that is easy to maintain and extend.

Performance audits and fixes for slow WordPress sites. Caching configuration, image optimization, database cleanup, and hosting recommendations.
Security & Maintenance
Hardened WordPress configurations, regular updates, backup management, and malware removal for sites that need ongoing protection.
VETTING PIPELINE
How engineers earn a spot on our team
Every engineer goes through the same four-stage funnel. Most do not make it past stage two.
30,000+
Applications received each year
Around 15 open roles at any time, each receiving roughly 200 applications per month through LinkedIn, AngelList, employee referrals, and outbound headhunting across India. India produces 1.5 million CS graduates a year, so sourcing is not the moat. Filtering is. Most applications are auto-filtered for stack relevance, years of experience, English, and time-zone overlap before any human reviews them.

Pass live coding + system design
Two-stage technical interview: a 90-minute live coding exercise tailored to the candidate's primary stack, then a system-design discussion grounded in real production scenarios.
2%
Pass project deep-dive + background verification
We ask candidates to walk through a recent production project: architecture decisions, what they would change in hindsight. We also run a background verification check through a third-party BGV agency to confirm prior employment, education, and identity.
