Description

We’re 12 Spokes, full-service web and mobile development shop, based in Salt Lake City, Utah, with team members spanning the United States. We work with big clients and small startups, and we have a growing set of internal projects that we’re building, too. We are really awesome with Ruby on Rails, but it's not the only language we use; we believe in constant learning rather than sticking with one technology until it's a dinosaur. We’re looking for a good person to join our great team. We support diversity in our field: Women and minorities are encouraged to apply!

Some of great things about working for 12 Spokes:
  • We hate burnout, so we work a 35-hour week
  • You’ll work on a wide variety of projects with good clients
  • We telecommute 100%
  • We offer awesome health insurance and retirement benefits
  • We encourage you to explore new technologies when they’re right for the project
  • Our employees love working here
  • We take holidays, vacation days and R&R seriously. We work hard, and we reward you with well-deserved time off.
  • Our staff shapes the company, from the technologies we use to the processes we employ


  • Why you want to work for us:
  • We are great to work with. You will not meet a kinder, more helpful and cooperative team.
  • We value good work. We don’t cut corners, and we don’t want you to, either.
  • We want you to take the time to do things the right way, even if it’s not the easy way.
  • We’re a small company. We’ve been around since 2006, but we’ve never gotten too big. Our small size means you’ll know everyone on the team and you’ll be personally treasured. We love our employees.
  • We want you to keep learning. The best designers and developers are the ones who continue to add new tools to their skill set. We encourage our employees to spend time staying up on the latest tech and to try new tools whenever appropriate. You’ll never be just a Photoshop/HTML/CSS monkey with us.
  • We value your life outside your job. We set sensible working hours, and late nights are never a requirement (unless there’s a design emergency, obviously, but those are rare). We know that burnout isn’t good for anyone in the long run, and we do everything we can to prevent it.


  • Why we want you to work for us:
  • You combine design and tech. We want someone with web application experience who can create gorgeous designs, work directly within the Rails view, use Github, and transform PSDs into quality HTML and CSS.
  • You are device neutral. We develop applications on a multitude of devices. Responsive design and retina support are out-of-the-box solutions we provide for our clients and we expect you to be knowledgeable on best practices for supporting a wide variety of screens and browsers.
  • You can handle frameworks. Working with a larger team means working with a toolbox that supports project switching and collaboration. We work with a few front-end frameworks that fit our workflow best and we’d expect you to work with them too.
  • You can manage your own time. We work remotely, which means we trust you to do your work even if no one’s looking. If you are the type who needs an office and heavy oversight to do your job, please apply elsewhere.
  • You're a good communicator. Working in a remote team means good communication skills are a must-have. You’ll be collaborating all day with clients and your coworkers via chat and Hangouts and email, so you’d better be able to string sentences together quickly and clearly!
  • You can talk with clients easily. Everyone on our team works directly with clients to suss out requirements and deliver stories. Some project management duties come with this job, because direct client-dev communication yields great results!
  • You read many of the top design and tech blogs, so you can always be on top of what’s coming and going.
  • You’re nice. We are.
