Web App Developer (remote)

Description

We need a strong backend web applications developer, full time. LAMP stack; running proprietary Angular apps on CodeIngnitor, plus ExpressionEngine content management system with lots of customization, a few NodeJS apps for real-time data processing tasks, and a little bit of legacy PHP; running on a multi-tier farm in front of high avail MySQL., hosted in AWS.

Looking for a developer with strong web app architecture experience on the backend to help modernize the legacy code (a little), build and deploy new features and apps (a lot), and in general keep our menagerie of ecommerce sites and internal support applications working like a charm.

The current development team works 100% internally focused, on dedicated systems for our ecommerce sites, marketing, operations, and investment/financial tools for our analysts. 4 full-time devs, two part time, plus 3 designers, all working in a DevOps style. Informal and flat organization, with lots of sharing and collaboration, but also complete ownership of your projects from concept to shipping.

Must be a strong multi-tier web applications developer who can work on all aspects of the site from front-end (coding, not design) to application and data layers. Good working knowledge of security and scalability best practices. Experience in a fast release cycle environment – we put out new code multiple times per day. Self-driven, with a focus on putting out clean and well documented code.

Bonus points if you:

Know SQL like the back of your hand. Lots of focus on reporting and data visualization for the marketing and sales team.

Have testing and analytics experience. We make heavy use of Google Analytics, Optimizely, etc. to find out what works and doesn’t for our users.

Can pitch in on AWS systems management – anything from setting up an SSH relay box at the edge, to configuring opcode caching on PHP, to updating puppet to add additional dependencies.

Work is 100% remote with no travel requirement (if you want to come visit our main office in the beautiful ski village of Stowe, VT, you’ll be welcome of course). All existing developers and designers are remote too – no odd man out here.

Company has been around 10+ years, profitable since inception, and is a leader in the investment publishing industry. Flexible schedule and shift timing. Paid time off. Etc.

Individuals and placement agents only, no vendors. Must have at least 5 years web app dev experience. Non-U.S. welcome to apply, but English skills must be 99th percentile, as this is a fast-moving U.S. based team.
