A Little About the Job
We need a developer that is skilled with PHP 5.3, Javascript, WordPress, or Ruby/Rails to help build our company’s next lead-generation platform. We are a very collaborative, architecture-focused company concerned with building it right, not quick, and open-sourcing as much of our code as possible!
IF YOU ARE A PHP DEVELOPER…
Experience with Symfony2 and/or Doctrine2 is a huge plus, while experience with any modern PHP 5.3 library is ideal.
As a part of our development team, you will be architecting and building features in a large scale, high availability Symfony application. You will also show off optimization and code quality when resolving bugs and issues when they come up.
We leverage Github issues & pull requests for communication and code review. We practice good coding standards, and we don’t believe in cowboy coding or working in a bubble.
IF YOU ARE A JAVASCRIPT DEVELOPER…
Experience with AngularJS, Node, or Express is a huge plus, while experience with any modern JavaScript library (e.g. not jQuery) will suffice.
You should care about code organization, deployment, minification, best-practices, and de-coupling of components.
IF YOU ARE A WORDPRESS DEVELOPER
…
Having an arsenal of WordPress Plugins to leverage is a huge plus, especially in being able to create your own. Ideally, you should know how to pull & cache external information into a WordPress site from within PHP. You should also have an opinionated way of creating themes and best-practices to adhere to.
IF YOU ARE A RUBY/RAILS DEVELOPER…
Having worked in multi-environment setups is a huge plus, as our sites & tools do not exist in a bubble. You should know how to structure & architect large-scale apps, and when to create micro-apps using Sinatra or similar. We do not maintain a large portfolio of Ruby applications, but skilled developers will translate well into other languages and be able to create stand-alone Ruby apps for internal tools.
