Our focus in web development enables us to develop deep expertise in Drupal, Magento and Shopify and to provide top-notch custom solutions for clients. We’re looking for an experienced Web Developer to join our team.

We value and support ongoing education and professional development to keep up with ever-evolving technologies and practices.

The type of work depends on the client, but often includes:
  • Developing custom modules and extensions for Drupal CMS and Magento Commerce

  • Migrating existing sites to modern platforms
  • Front-end development, including HTML/CSS/Javascript coding with Twig and PHP at the template level

General Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree plus a minimum of 3+ years in web development and strong PHP experience.
  • Preference for client service environments, such as web development firms, technical support teams, interactive agencies, or graphic design firms.
  • Independence, enthusiasm, superb written communication, and organization skills.
  • Ability to define, scope and code custom extensions and integrations for our platforms.
  • Understanding of Object Oriented Programming (OOP) and Model-View-Controller (MVC) frameworks.
  • Experience with API-based development, and integration with 3rd party systems.
  • Front-end and standard Internet protocols, cross-browser, XML, HTML, HTTP, XHTML, CSS, Javascript (jquery), Ajax, and Twig and PHP at the template level are required.
  • React, Redux, Knockout, Angular or other JS frameworks are strongly preferred.
  • Experience with compiled CSS, using SASS or LESS preprocessors.
  • Experience developing in local environments and working with code repositories such as Git
