We work remotely and embrace Slack, video conferencing, and asynchronous communication to foster positive working relationships with our colleagues around the globe. We also highly recommend pants.

We work in small, highly effective teams, and every person is vital to the success of MODX. Our company is made of thoughtful, creative, problem-solvers who love their craft. We think surrounding ourselves with self-managed people who consistently do good work and positively inspire their co-workers is the greatest work environment. We believe in work-life balance, too.

At MODX, you will have many opportunities to not only do great work but also to impact the company and the team. You will not only improve our products and customer experiences, but you’ll also have a voice in shaping the company culture.

We offer above-average competitive pay and benefits based on your location. Folks in the US are hired as full-time W-2 employees and international team members are engaged as full-time contractors.

Depending on those results, we’ll ask that you send us a 90-second video introducing yourself about a time you were involved with a great customer experience. After that, then Zoom interviews will happen for the top applicants.

Initial training for this role typically takes ~6 weeks depending on your past experience, after which time we expect you to be actively working with customers and helping them succeed. As you gain experience and proficiency in this role, you will have the opportunity to become a support leader, with higher compensation, or possibly to move into another role within MODX.

The mission of MODX  is to create the best tools for growing organizations to build and maintain amazing, secure, high-performance websites that crush SEO and conversion. We think it’s important to make exceptionally powerful and flexible solutions that are affordable for everyone, not just large enterprises. We call this our “fortuneless 5-million” mostly in the SMB and mid-market space.

We are an equal opportunity employer and value respect, trust, collaboration, and fun. Diverse experiences, backgrounds, viewpoints, and outlooks on life are celebrated and respected—this is a place where everybody belongs.
