Attention to detail is one of our ! This is your chance to stand out :)

To love this role, here’s the type of person you are:

• You’re a self-starter who loves taking initiative and seeing things through from conception to completion. Our developers 'own' features/tasks and are responsible for scoping, development, and testing.

• You're an excellent communicator, fluent in both verbal and written English, who makes sure nothing slips through the cracks. We believe communication is critical and there is no such thing as over-communicating.

• You take pride in the quality and craftsmanship of your work rather than just doing it to get it done - with attention to detail.

• You are comfortable giving critical feedback to peers (in a respectful and productive manner) and also don't take feedback given personally.

• You're happy jumping between front-end and back-end development tasks or tackling tasks that require both.

• You're happy working on tasks of all sizes - from small bug fixes and enhancements to large features/rewrites.

Common responsibilities include (but are not limited to):

• Triaging bugs and enhancements that come into GitHub.

• Scoping, writing, and testing new product features and addons.

• Communicating with the team and supporting your peers using chat, audio, and video.

• Supervising other developers; providing feedback, giving peer reviews (PRs), and managing deadlines.

• Managing sprints and product releases.

Requirements

• Professional experience with WordPress plugin development, architecture, and standards (WordPress theme experience is great, but alone is insufficient).

• Advanced proficiency with PHP and MySQL, including modern PHP practices (OOP, autoloading, namespacing, traits, interfaces, etc).

• Strong familiarity with JavaScript (VueJS, vanilla JS, jQuery, ES6, etc).

• Deep experience with build tools like Gulp and Webpack and package managers like Composer and NPM.

• Experience working with third-party APIs (Eg, Google Analytics, Stripe, Drip, Zapier, etc).

• The ability to iterate and ship ideas quickly - done is better than perfect.

• Ability to keep complex ideas and features simple. (Simplicity is a core value!)

• Previous freelance or remote work experience.

• Personal Computer with Internet Access

• Availability to participate in audio/video meetings between the hours of 9 am - 5 pm EST.

Bonus points if you also have:

• Experience with e-commerce platforms or related APIs (Easy Digital Downloads, WooCommerce, Stripe, PayPal, etc).

• Experience with DevOps or infrastructure management.
