PHP developer (French or German speakers)
Join the team behind WPML, the multilingual plugin powering 1.5M+ websites. We’re looking for developers who enjoy building features and staying close to real users. In this role, you’ll spend most of your time developing WPML, while also handling selected support cases that give you direct insight into how the product behaves in the real world. Support isn’t a separate job here – it’s a feedback loop that helps you grow as a developer and helps us improve WPML faster. Why This Role Works Well for Developers • Direct connection to real problems: You see issues before they turn into technical debt and can fix them properly. • Stronger product intuition: Support cases reveal edge cases, integrations, and workflows you won’t discover from code alone. • Your code has immediate impact: You’ll build features for one of the most used multilingual solutions in the world and help improve its reliability. • You influence the roadmap: What you learn from users feeds directly into better architecture and long-term fixes. Why OTGS? • Profitable and stable: We’ve been self-funded since 2008 and support over 1.5M sites. • Remote-first: Friendly, global team working asynchronously across time zones. • High ownership: Developers make decisions, propose improvements, and shape the product. • Built-in growth: Mentorship, modern tooling, and opportunities to deepen your expertise in PHP, WordPress internals, testing, and performance. You’re a Strong Match If You • Speak French or German. • Have real PHP experience. • Enjoy solving technical challenges and finding root causes. • Prefer clean code, tests, and long-term solutions over quick patches. What You’ll Be Doing • Build new features and improve existing parts of WPML. • Handle selected support cases that require a developer’s understanding. • Debug issues, reproduce complex scenarios, and implement fixes. • Suggest and ship product improvements based on patterns you notice in support. • Grow your skills in automated testing, performance optimization, and modern development workflows. If you want a development role with real product influence – and you don’t mind helping users along the way – this is a great fit. Apply now, and looking forward to meeting you! Apply tot his job
