Description

Tighten Co. is hiring a senior web developer to join and help lead our development team.

Who We're Looking For
We’re looking for a “full-stack” developer. To us that means a talented backend developer with enough experience on the front end to build a great site with Bootstrap and a good site with responsive Sass and Javascript.

Our backend code is primarily written in PHP, so while familiarity with Ruby, Python, Go, or other backend languages is valuable, our bread and butter is in modern, Object-Oriented PHP. The person we’re looking for feels at home in PHP, and should have at least some familiarity with the Laravel framework.

We’re looking for someone with mature, well-formed opinions about modern coding processes and practices. Someone who cares deeply about doing amazing work. Someone who is confident in their skills, but experienced enough to know that they still have a ton to learn. ?We’re looking for a good person. Someone with humility, integrity, a good sense of humor, and a grown-up’s sense of what matters in life.

Requirements/Must-Haves
  • Solid understanding of Object Oriented Design
  • Experience with and knowledge of enterprise design patterns
  • Considerable experience with PHP, Git, and MySQL
  • Experience with Laravel Framework
  • Basic server administration experience
  • Experience using Bootstrap and/or Foundation, as well as LESS and/or Sass
  • Familiarity with TDD & PHPUnit
  • Familiarity with continuous integration
  • Love for clean, standards-compliant, well-tested, well patterned, code
  • Passion for software development, learning, and growing your craft
  • Live in U.S./Canada


  • Nice-to-have
  • Familiarity with BDD and Behat
  • Familiarity with (Node-based) acceptance testing
  • Familiarity with DDD
  • Experience with Kanban/Scrum/Agile
  • Experience developing RESTful APIs
  • Experience with modern front-end frameworks such as Ember, Angular, Knockout, etc.
  • Experience with Vagrant, Continuous Delivery/Deployment, Linux admin, and server configuration
  • Experience with Ionic/Cordova/Phonegap
  • Experience with mobile app development and deployment


  • Why should you consider us?
    We’re a small but growing company with a desire to do good things alongside our clients, write beautiful code, and solve problems creatively and effectively.

    We are constantly learning and refining our techniques and processes, and we love to think deeply about code, technology, and experience. Each project is an opportunity for us to grow—as a team, as developers, as managers, as people.

    We place a huge emphasis on people and relationships. We love our work, but we don’t think work should necessarily be “hard” or out of balance with the rest of our lives. We believe that doing things that bring us joy outside of the office makes us better workers, and better people.

    We also believe in cultivating a lighthearted, jovial, and fun work environment. Since our entire team is geographically distributed, we go out of our way to create a positive work culture. We have a ridiculous amount of fun pasting absurd GIFs in our Slack chatroom, which is just one of the great software tools that allow us to recruit and retain people from all over the place.

    We can say with great confidence that everyone on our team is a good, honest, and thoughtful person, and that’s something we’re proud of.

    Benefits
  • Remote work
  • Health/Dental/Vision insurance
  • 401K retirement plan with employer match
  • 3 weeks paid time off and paid holidays
  • Consistent and reasonable working hours
  • Desk, computer, chair, and whatever else you need for an effective, healthy work environment


  • Our Company
    Tighten Co. is a web development agency based in Chicago, IL, headed by Dan Sheetz and Matt Stauffer, with employees around the United States. Whatever development, strategy, and UX challenges a client faces, we help them pull it all together in intelligent, elegant, and enduring ways. You’ll find we’re pretty finicky about keeping things clean and tight—not just in our work, but also in how we work together. We believe in staying humble, being good and good to each other, and having a nice life. Let’s do this.
