Description

THE OPPORTUNITY

We’re looking for a talented freelance WordPress theme & frontend developer in North America (if you are in Central or South America – lets talk).

The opportunity calls for a mixed set of skills. We need someone with expert level CSS skills, impeccable WordPress experience, and solid Javascript, PHP & MYSQL skills. Experience building sites with extremely large loads is a plus. We like our stuff to run fast and smooth.

We're currently working on high-profile WordPress implementations that range between conventional to seriously bleeding edge. We will want to see plugin code examples - public plugins are ideal. We want people that are able to develop code that can withstand high profile sites and intense loads. You should be comfortable working as part of a team - your code will have to integrate into an existing architecture. If the tightly optimized code get's you excited - you're probably a good fit. 

THE COMPANY

Modern Tribe, Inc. is a small, rapidly growing software & design company located in Santa Cruz, California. We develop custom solutions for some of the world's largest companies, government institutions and smaller growing organizations. We pride ourselves on our ability to bridge people and technology and to bring the passion and dedication of an entrepreneur to every project.
