  • Can demonstrate the ability to write production quality code oriented around maintainability, security, and speed.
  • Passionate about writing code and being in a position where you can spend most of your time getting to be a programmer (rather than meetings, emails, TPS reports, etc).
  • Committed to working in a remote programming position for the long-term. We’re looking for a candidate who can grow with us.
  • Experienced at managing multiple projects and deadlines. We are an agency so we have multiple active clients at any given time.

Additional assets:

Benefits of working for us:
  • Fully remote work with flexible work schedule.
  • Guaranteed minimum of hours.
  • We care deeply about the work that we create for clients, the importance of good code, and wish to work with someone that has a similar mindset.
You should not apply if:
  • You don’t have a strong PHP MVC background or experience with writing efficient and secure code. This is an essential requirement.
  • You are only looking for temporary work.
  • You would rather work at an office.
Application must include:
  • Resume demonstrating your past work experience with PHP.
  • Cover letter explaining why you are a good fit for this position and why this position is a good fit for you and your goals.
