Description

Your Day-to-day

This is a hands-on, remote, contract, Magento programming position. You'll be working on eCommerce platforms and CMSes like Magento, Shopify and WordPress. The core technologies you'll be working with are PHP, HTML, CSS, and JS.

Our projects are generally focused around making large, material changes to our clients' sites or designing and developing new sites from the ground up. We are heavily data-driven and provide robust tracking and reporting capabilities for our clients' initiatives.

We have quite a bit of work booked for the next few months, so an ideal applicant will be ready to hit the ground running. Despite the amount of work we have, I strive to minimize context switching—if you're on a project, you shouldn't expect to be bombarded with unrelated tweaks on other projects here and there.

Some Notes on Culture

Here are some of our values. They're always being refined based on what works and what doesn't.

  • We value clear, concise communication.
  • Quality can only be discerned in the context of an objective.
  • Provide context and motivation for each task to empower developers to find better solutions.
  • Automate repeatable processes to free up time for interesting problems.
  • No process for process' sake. No meetings for meetings' sake.
  • Build or use tools to provide predictability and eliminate boring work.
