work on real exciting WordPress plugins
What does working for devowl.io mean to you?
Since 2015, we at devowl.io have been developing and distributing WordPress plugins that make life easier for website owners. Over 200,000 websites use our products, and we support them every day. Most recently, we made the world a little bit better with Real Cookie Banner with many great cookie banners – or at least simplified the cookie-hassle a little bit 😉
Each of us work where he or she feels most comfortable and work 100% remote. Whether in the city, in the countryside or in a community. We work when it fits best with our lives. And we are highly motivated to integrate our work into our lives as if it were the most beautiful thing in the world.
What matters to your application!
Forget about all the degrees, training, certificates, etc. It’s good to have learned a solid basis through them. But we’re much more interested in what you’ve already worked on in the real world, what drives you every day, and what can make your eyes light up. If you can imagine that you like to get up every day and work together with our team on exciting WordPress products (in the area of data protection), then show us your passion in a creative and unusual way. We are curious about your idea!
Our entire team will look at your application to form an opinion whether you are a good fit for our way of working, not only professionally, but especially as a person. We will all get to know each other better in a personal video call!
Current open positions
For the following positions we are currently looking for people who want to join our team!
Your tasks
- Conception of new features in the team + implementation
- New developments, enhancements & optimization of the UX/UI of existing solutions
- Implementation of interfaces (REST APIs) of own and external services
- Development of new ideas and implementation (incl. ownership) within our monorepo
- Understanding third-party code from third-party developers to design and implement integrations and compatibilities with cooperation partners
- Mutual code reviews to continuously ensure and increase the quality of our developments
- Technical support for new products for which you have taken ownership, in German & English
We offer
- 100% remote work
- Per week: 36-40 hours (as it fits best into your life)
- Working hours: Whether 5am, or 11pm (after a training period). We all work 100% from home, and often at unusual hours. The only thing that counts for us is that we finish our work responsibly.
- Modern notebook of your choice (Mac/Windows/Linux) and other equipment for optimal work
- Efficient development environment on powerful servers (e.g. via Visual Studio Code Remote)
- Driven mentality in a modern and highly automated software development (CI/CD, Monorepo, Continuous Localization, and much more…). If an idea makes sense, it will be implemented quickly
- Fast release cycles (mostly weekly), so your work makes a difference directly to the customer
- Working in efficient, short meetings and coordination rounds. Thanks to weekly sprint planning, we work in a truly agile way
- We give you time to stay up to date! For example, follow well-known developers on GitHub or Twitter and keep yourself informed / challenged during your working hours with new technologies that we might be able to use (or that just interest you).

- Ability to work independently with responsibility
- Confident handling of Visual Studio Code (remote) and Git

- Not afraid to give everyone a “duh” from the start and treat them humanely
- You can give and accept feedback to grow together on it
- German and English fluent / business fluent (we work bilingually)
Still there? Apply now!
Send us a simple CV and links, screenshots etc. to (hobby) projects you have already implemented. You can save a classic cover letter if you tell us why you are interested especially in WordPress.
