ActiveCampaign is a platform focused on email, marketing automation, and sales for small businesses.

We are looking for a talented full stack developer to join us as we extend our marketing platform and work to scale with our quickly growing user base.

Roll out a new feature and analyze (and react) to the results you discover from our system services and user feedback.

What is needed:

Extensive & proven experience with PHP, MySQL, & jQuery. Ember.js and/or similar frameworks woud be a plus.

Passionate about optimization and scaling to accommodate a growing number of end users. The feeling of finding a better way to do something is priceless.

Care about the user experience. Everyone is always thinking about the user and ways we can improve the workflow. We have some great UI/UX designers who can assist you.
