🧭 About the Role
We are building a multi-sided digital platform, PoliticalMeetings.com, designed to connect voters directly with political entities, events, and engagement opportunities.

React frontend (user-facing platform)
WordPress API backend (data, workflows, and management layer)
We are seeking a Technical Architect to work directly with the Founder to ensure the platform is structured properly, scalable, and free from system-level gaps.

React frontend
WordPress API backend

🚫 What This Role Is NOT
Not a “ticket-based developer role”
Not limited to front-end or WordPress tasks
Not purely DevOps or infrastructure
