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.

The ideal candidate will be technically strong and will enjoy collaborating with a high-performing team of software engineers. You take ownership of projects and want to be involved in the entire lifecycle of the product – design, documentation, coding, testing and deployment.

What are we looking for

What are your skills?

  • 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
