Description

Great Jakes is looking for an experienced PHP developer to harness, orchestrate, and expand our custom CMS as our client and feature base grows rapidly in the coming year. We're looking at a fruitful 2014, so this is a prime opportunity to grow as a developer with many different challenges and a supportive company around you.

This position requires a wide range of abilities and knowledge:front-end, back-end, architecture, implementation, and debugging. Your time will be split between implementing client sites, strategizing, developing new features, refactoring old ones, and building a more efficient deployment process.
  • Work normal hours for a company that respects your free time and won't burn you out.
    Have a seat at the table and contribute to important discussions within the company. We're very collaborative, so everyone gets their say.
  • Work closely with driven, talented people who are always challenging themselves to improve. It's infectious!
  • We would prefer a developer who can work in-house in our Union Square, NYC office, but the right candidate can make a case for telecommuting.


  • What You'll Be Working On:

    Rainmaker is our new CMS designed specifically for the marketing needs of mid-to-large size professional service firms. It was built to satisfy three main goals:

  • Provide an interface that allows a marketing department to manage a complex website without any technical knowledge.
  • Create "microsites", customized subsections of the larger site, which allow the individual professionals and practice groups within the firm to market themselves in their own unique fashion.
  • Provide a platform for upgrades and enhancements that don't require rebuilding the entire site.


  • Meeting these goals has put our product ahead of anything else the industry has to offer, and we're constantly improving it every day.

    Skills & Requirements

    Our ideal candidate possesses all of the following:
  • Highly advanced PHP skills
  • 4+ years experience with MVC frameworks
  • Very strong JQuery and raw JavaScript skills, including experience with AJAX
  • Strong HTML5 & CSS3 skills
  • Solid communication and collaboration skills (we collaborate a lot and we value your input)
  • Full of ideas, with the drive and ambition to see them through


  • About Great Jakes

We may be small, but we make waves with our talent.
