Hire CMS developers for headless and WordPress builds

Senior CMS engineers who model content, wire up preview and localization, and migrate sites between platforms without losing pages or rankings.

Ryz places senior CMS developers, top 1% of those we interview, on your team at $7,000 to $15,000 per engineer per month, and you meet named candidates before you sign. They have shipped Contentful, Sanity, WordPress or Drupal builds, and they work US business hours.

What our CMS developers work on

A CMS project is part data modeling, part front-end work and part editor experience. We match on the platform you run or the one you are moving to. Common work:

What happens after you ask for CMS developers

Talk starts with your content: how many content types, how many locales, who edits and how often, and which front end renders it. We ask whether you are staying on your current CMS or planning a move. Then you get a plan, a price and the CMS developers we would assign.

Match follows your platform and your problem, whether that is a slow WordPress site or a Sanity schema that has grown messy. Join means your CMS spaces, repos, preview environments and editor channels. Grow might add a front-end developer, a designer or a dedicated team for a replatform. If someone is not the right fit, we replace them free, and you own all code and IP they produce.

Skills we vet for

How we vet CMS developers

Recruiters source developers who have built and maintained content platforms in production, and they check which platforms and which parts the candidate owned. Our in-house ARC system ranks the pipeline. Candidates then take structured NTRVSTA AI interviews on content modeling, preview, migrations and front-end delivery. Recruiters review each candidate before and after the interview and send you a curated shortlist. AI scores are advisory, and people make the decisions.

CMS developers for hire: one engineer, remote or a dedicated team

Some teams hire a CMS developer to own one platform, such as a Contentful space that has drifted out of shape. Others hire CMS developers as a group to move from WordPress or Drupal to a headless setup. Our CMS developers for hire are remote and keep your hours. When content is central to the business, you can hire dedicated CMS developers who stay with your platform over time. Many clients hire remote CMS developers first for a migration, then keep one on to support editors. If you are looking for headless CMS developers specifically, tell us which platform and front end you run.

Why hire CMS developers from Latin America

Agencies and product companies across Argentina, Colombia, Mexico and Brazil have built WordPress, Drupal and headless sites for US brands for years. Senior engineers there often bring both the CMS side and the front-end side, which matters because most CMS problems show up on the rendered page.

On US business hours, they answer editor questions the same day, fix a broken preview before a launch and join content planning calls live, in English.

What production CMS work looks like

The real test of a CMS build comes after launch. New content types get added, locales grow, and editors find workflows nobody planned for. Our CMS developers keep schemas versioned in code, run content migrations through review like any other change and watch cache behavior so editors and visitors both see the right version. Our case studies show the kind of production systems our teams build.

FAQ

Can I hire a CMS developer for one platform only?

Yes. Tell us whether you run Contentful, Sanity, Strapi, Storyblok, WordPress, Drupal or Webflow, and we match on hands-on experience with that platform.

Do you have headless CMS developers for hire who also know the front end?

Yes. Most of our headless CMS developers also build the Next.js, Nuxt or Astro front end, so preview, caching and rendering are handled by the same person.

Can your developers move us from one CMS to another?

Yes. We plan the content model first, script the export and import, map every URL to a redirect and run checks so pages and rankings carry over.

How much does it cost to hire CMS developers?

$7,000 to $15,000 per engineer per month, scoped per team. You get a plan, a price and the names of the engineers before you sign.

Do remote CMS developers work our hours?

Yes. They work US business hours, including New York hours. Ryz engineers work on your team, reporting to your leads. Talk to us to scope your team.
