About The Position

We’re looking for an experienced full-stack developer with a proven track record of planning, developing, and deploying complex web applications. The successful candidate will work with other front-end developers, back-end developers, UX/UI designers, and other departments to gather requirements for assigned projects. You will have full responsibility for translating these requirements into technical plans. You will also be responsible for executing those plans using ES6, PHP, Sass, Handlebars, and MySQL. You will report to the department’s project manager for code reviews and progress reports.

We’re a small team, but we think you’ll be surprised to see the types of projects we complete in-house rather than using “off the shelf” software. Request an interview and ask to see the responsive, multi-site framework we’ve custom-developed for ourselves. Now is the perfect time to join the team and help shape this awesome application.

• You’re a strong communicator who enjoys defending your solutions to a team that is passionate about clean, well-structured, object-oriented code.

• You take ownership of the projects assigned to you.

• You like to make things that you can be proud of.

• Most importantly, you program not just because it pays the bills, but because you find it fun.

What You’ll Do

• Develop new user-facing features.

• Translate requirements into fully formed plans.

• Communicate ideas and discuss your plans at sprint planning meetings to ensure the team understands your objectives and to inform your approach to the final form of the application and its code.

• Review the plans and code produced by other talented engineers. Offer guidance to improve our results.

• Engineer object-oriented MVC-style components.

• Utilize JavaScript (ES6), PHP 7, HTML (Handlebars), and CSS (Sass/SCSS) to translate mockups and documentation into fully functional features.

• Write solid, standards-compliant code while recognizing performance, scalability, and security.

• Study the business and its products so you can be confident that your work will serve us well.

What You Need to Know

• ES6: Expert-level understanding of modern, class-based JavaScript. Experience with React or Angular is not applicable to this project.

• PHP: Expert-level understanding of object-oriented PHP in a custom-developed MVC framework.

• Sass, Less, or CSS: Expert-level understanding of responsive, cross-browser styling for an application where visual fidelity is critical. Experience with Bootstrap is not applicable to this project.
