Full Stack Web Engineer (LATAM)

Contract Location: Remote – Latin America (Open to applicants located anywhere in the LATAM region) Fueled is a leading digital strategy, design, and engineering agency. We are a 300+ person team that has designed and built hundreds of digital products and experiences for brands like Google, Apple, The New York Times, ESPN, Victoria’s Secret, MGM Resorts, Albertsons, and CLEAR. As a Full Stack Web Engineer at Fueled, your mission is to turn well-defined tickets and user stories into clean, production-ready code that powers large-scale digital experiences. Working within enterprise WordPress engagements, you’ll build and deliver features end-to-end, from the frontend experience to modern PHP, JavaScript, and Gutenberg blocks in React.js. You’ll bring designs and requirements to life within themes and plugins, moving quickly and confidently by pairing your own craft with AI-assisted workflows, thorough documentation, and the support of senior engineers who review and elevate your work. This is a role for engineers who love the craft: you write code you’re proud of, you welcome sharp code review, and you treat AI tools as a force multiplier, not a substitute for understanding. You should be comfortable taking a feature from requirements through implementation, making sound decisions along the way, and delivering a polished, production-ready result. Your work will ship to platforms serving millions of visitors, alongside a team recognized as one of the top enterprise WordPress practices in the world. Intentionally remote, our team thrives in a culture that values flexibility, creativity, and cutting-edge technology. For engineers in Latin America, that means real-time collaboration with US-based teams during your normal working day, compensation in USD, and a seat at the table on projects for globally recognized brands – all from wherever you work best. Together, we’re shaping the future of digital experiences.

What you will do:

• Build features for enterprise-level WordPress solutions – custom Gutenberg blocks in React.js, plugins, and themes using modern HTML/CSS and well-structured PHP.
• Own tickets end-to-end: understand the requirements, make sound decisions when details are incomplete, and deliver reviewable pull requests with clear summaries of your approach, assumptions, and testing.
• Bring designs and user experiences to life by translating Figma designs and other project requirements into polished, responsive features and reusable components within WordPress themes and plugins.
• Leverage AI tools as a core part of your daily workflow to accelerate implementation and debugging while critically validating every output before it reaches a pull request.
• Iterate on code review feedback from senior and lead engineers, absorbing patterns and best practices that sharpen your craft with every merge.
• Collaborate proactively and asynchronously in English with distributed teammates across engineering, design,

and delivery.

What you will achieve:

• Within your first month,

you’ll have shipped merged, production-ready pull requests on a live client project.

• By the 3-month mark,

you’ll be independently owning tickets from requirement to release.

• Your AI-assisted workflow will have measurably accelerated delivery on your project without compromising quality.
• You’ll have earned trust as a dependable contributor whose PRs are a pleasure to review.
• By contract end,

you’ll have a portfolio of enterprise-grade work with sharpened skills.

About you:

• Solid agency or consultancy experience building WordPress solutions for large-scale enterprise projects – high-traffic sites with demanding clients.
• Comfortable working across web stack: HTML,

CSS, modern PHP, JavaScript; Gutenberg ecosystem including custom blocks with React.js.

• Bonus: Experience with open-source tools like ElasticPress or ClassifAI (mention in application).
• Use AI tools effectively as part of workflow; know when outputs are incorrect.
• Passionate about craft: read best practices for fun; seek code review; never ship code not understood.
• Clear communicator in English (written & spoken); can explain decisions/assumptions/tradeoffs confidently.
• Based in Latin America; thrive on distributed teams collaborating real-time with US time zones from remote location of choice.
