Front-end WordPress Developer

Description

Hi, we're ThemeIsle, and we're looking for a skilled front-end developer to join our team.

We've been on the WordPress themes market for a couple of years now, and we've developed a number of successful themes during this time. For instance, our flagship creation - Zerif - is used on 50,000 websites, and if we safely assume that each of those sites has 20+ visitors, that's a reach of over a million people. Additionally, the free edition of the theme - Zerif Lite - is one of the top 10 most popular themes in the official WordPress directory.

If you feel that your skills can get us even further, read on.

The first thing we expect from a front-end developer is to be very result-oriented and have the dedication to get the job done. You'll be given a lot of freedom, and you'll have real impact on our biggest and best products.

But as you know ... with great power comes great responsibility.

Ideally, you should be ready to lead our front-end development across all of our WordPress themes and other WordPress-related projects. You've probably noticed that we're calling your position "Diamond Cutter." That's basically what you'll be doing - taking our products and bringing them to perfection, just like a diamond cutter would.

REQUIREMENTS

(Remote work from the other side of the globe is okay. But if you're from Bucharest and willing to work with us at the office, bonus points for you.)

Extensive WordPress development skills/experience, an understanding of the platform, its abilities and limitations.

Knowledge of server-side programming (PHP).

Knowledge of MySQL and other popular database technologies.

Knowledge of JavaScript, HTML5 and CSS.

Experience with GitHub.

Good sense of UI design and UX.

Ability to work with a team in an organized way.

Genuine goal of helping people through the creations you're building as a developer.

Bonus skills:

Experience working with other WordPress themes.

Do you know what LESS is?

Experience with Bootstrap.

You don't need to have years of experience, but you have to be willing to learn things quickly and not be afraid to experiment with technologies that are new to you.

BENEFITS
You'll get to work with a young team of WordPress enthusiasts, programmers, designers, and even active bloggers and writers. WordPress themes don't have to be boring(!) - that's our primary motto - and we're doing everything we can to prove it ... starting from our site design (focused around pirates and rum), to our whole work attitude in general.

Currently, eight of us are still students. That's why we're having bi-monthly meetings at the office to help each other with schoolwork, homework or anything that's school-related in some way. You'll be more than welcome to join us for those meetings.

We want you to be independent and pursue your personal projects, as long as you're able to get your primary job done (kind of similar to Google's policy).

Also, you'll be able to take as much time off as you need, and spend as much time at work as you think is fair for you to earn your salary. We're really goal-oriented here, so we care for your results much more than for your time spent on the job.
