Contractor vs. employee status for international hires is not specified in the listing before accepting.

Is This Open to Nigerians?

CT states it welcomes applications from anywhere in the world. No explicit regional restriction exists in the listing. Nigerian applicants should verify three things before applying:

• Time zone: The role requires 9:00 am–6:00 pm PST, which runs 5:00 pm–2:00 am WAT. If CT allows partial PST overlap, this role becomes viable for more Nigerian applicants. Verify this before you apply.
• Payment method: CT does not specify how international contractors are paid. Confirm whether Payoneer, Wise, or direct transfer is available.
• Skills test: CT uses a mandatory skills test with a video component via TestedRecruits. Ensure you have a reliable internet connection and a working camera before you start.

How to Apply

1. Go to the official listing.
2. Have your resume ready to upload before you start the form.
3. Complete the required skills test. CT states that strong test performance can qualify candidates even if their experience or educational background does not fully match the listed criteria.
4. Treat the test as your real application. Practice your WordPress workflow before you start it, and make sure your video setup is clean and professional.

GizPulse Verdict

Coalition Technologies has run distributed international teams for over a decade. This is not a company experimenting with remote work; the remote model is how they operate. The profit-sharing bonus is a real upside: when CT has a strong month, full-time employees share in it directly. That is unusual for an agency model.

The hard constraint is the PST hours requirement. Working 5:00 pm to 2:00 am WAT is sustainable only for those with genuinely flexible schedules or who prefer night shift patterns. If CT allows any PST overlap flexibility, that changes viability for Nigerian applicants significantly; verify this early.

Who this is for: A mid-level WordPress developer with two or more years of custom theme and plugin work who wants stable remote income in dollars, is comfortable with agency-pace multi-client delivery, and can genuinely accommodate the PST window.

Who should look elsewhere: Developers who prefer product work over agency-style delivery, or anyone who cannot realistically sustain PST hours from West Africa.

One tip: The skills test is the primary filter. CT says outright that strong test performance can offset limited formal experience. Treat the test as your real application, not a formality before the interview.
