about you
Who are you?
We are looking for full-stack engineer with a few years of experience in a professional software engineering role. You are eager to learn, up for a challenge, and don’t mind switching between projects. A new greenfield project is something you enjoy as much as applying newly learned lessons to our older solutions.

- 3+ years experience in a professional software engineer role with strong experience in developing web applications.
- Experience with PHP or TypeScript/JavaScript (preferred), or any other OOP language.
- Experience with building a frontend with React and Tailwind would be a plus.
- You understand and can apply design patterns.
- Experience with Test Driven Development, Unit Testing and tools like PHPUnit and Jest
- Experience with Agile methodologies like Scrum and Kanban
- Experience with Git/SVN/CVS, continuous integration & continuous delivery
- PHP and/or WordPress plugin experience are considered a plus
