HTML CSS Developer jobs

Build the e-commerce engine behind the UK's biggest reptile & livefoods brand.

Most WooCommerce developers never have to think about courier cut-off times for live insects or shipping exclusions for rodents. We do - every day. If you want real ownership of complex, high-traffic e-commerce systems (not just theme tweaks and plugin configs), this is your next role.

This is a Full Time Hybrid role with site working 3 days a week - Will you be able to reliably commute to Ongar CM5 for this job?

About us

Peregrine is the UK's largest wholesaler of reptile products and live foods, running multiple WooCommerce sites across our trade and consumer brands. Delivery-date logic, courier cut-offs, shipping exclusions, subscriptions and trade pricing - much of it powered by plugins we build and maintain ourselves.

Our developers don't stop at the storefront. You'll also build the internal tools that keep the business running: connecting our sites to our Syspro ERP, building staff-facing tools like sales order entry, and automating workflows with Flowgear and custom APIs.

You'll work directly with our senior web developer and ERP developer, with real ownership of day-to-day development across our sites. If you like owning problems end-to-end rather than picking off tickets, you'll fit right in.

What you'll do

• Develop, maintain and improve multiple Wordpress/Woocommerce sites, including our in-house custom plugins
• Extend WooCommerce functionality - trade/tiered pricing, customer groups, delivery-date and courier logic, subscriptions/recurring orders, bulk ordering and reorder tools
• Build internal web tools that make the business run faster - like sales order entry and other staff-facing front-ends over our ERP and business data
• Build integrations and automations between systems using Flowgear, REST APIs and webhooks - connecting WooCommerce, our ERP/stock system, courier platforms and marketing tools
• Work within our structured release process - Git, semantic versioning, changelogs, staging-first deployments - every change, including one-line fixes
• Write and optimise SQL against MySQL for product data, reporting, bulk updates and clean-up; support product imports and feeds
• Test WooCommerce core, theme and plugin updates on staging; triage and fix front-line site issues
• Own front-end quality - responsive layouts, Core Web Vitals, page speed, accessibility
• Support marketing with landing pages, campaign builds and on-page SEO

What we're looking for

• 3+ years building commercially with WordPress, including 2+ years deep in WooCommerce
• Strong across PHP, JavaScript, HTML and CSS
• You've properly customised WooCommerce - hooks, filters, custom endpoints, your own plugins - not just configured existing ones
• Disciplined in Git: branches, meaningful commits, versioned releases, staging-first
• Confident in SQL beyond basic SELECTs - joins, aggregates, careful bulk updates
• Comfortable working independently across multiple brands, and explaining technical trade-offs to non-technical colleagues

Nice to have

• High-SKU, B2B or wholesale e-commerce; trade accounts or tiered pricing
• ERP integration experience (Syspro ideal, but any - SAP, Dynamics, NetSuite) or iPaaS/automation platforms like Flowgear, Zapier or Make
• WooCommerce Subscriptions or other recurring-order tooling
• UX/CRO exposure: wireframing, A/B testing, acting on analytics
• Hosting/server administration, deployments, backups, security hardening
• WPML/multilingual, multi-site or multi-brand setups; marketplace feeds (Amazon, eBay)

Why join Peregrine

• Real ownership; you'll ship features that move the whole business, not just tickets off a backlog
• A small, senior team with direct access to the developers and decision-makers who built these systems
• Interesting, unusual problems you won't find at a typical e-commerce shop

A genuine interest in reptiles, aquatics or exotic pets — it's genuinely useful here (and you'll fit right in with the rest of us).
