Job Description

About us

Our goal is to help social enterprises by delivering quality online tools.

It’s time to grow again. We have an immediate opening for a full-time developer skilled in CMS-driven websites and custom add-on development. The deadline for application is Friday, May 26, 2023.

We're Canada's leading ExpressionEngine and Craft CMS design and development firm. You'll be using a stimulating variety of modern tools and technologies, and working on interesting and meaningful projects ranging from shopping carts to saving society.

You'll be part of a growing team of smart, caring people who work to provide the best possible online tools to active organizations that need an "expert but fractional web department."

### Skills

The best applicant will have many of the following skills at the "Very Fine", "Near Mint" or "Mint" level, in something approximating this order:

• PHP
• Functional spec development
• ExpressionEngine / Craft CMS
• Javascript
• HTML / CSS / SASS
• MySQL / MariaDB
• Wordpress / WIX
• Common Web service APIs
• Server administration (LAMP stack)
• DNS management

In addition, experience with Google Analytics, with SEO techniques, with using version control systems (Git, of course), with unit testing, with machine learning and recommendation engines, and with building properly accessible and mobile / responsive websites and web-based apps, will be considered big checkmarks in the "Pro" column.

Yes, that's a long list, and no, you don't need to be an expert in all of it; we're primarily looking for someone with experience around one of ExpressionEngine / Craft CMS, and with Javascript and PHP. The rest of the list will make you stand out.

### What are the other requirements?

• Self-starter with a healthy curiosity
• Tenacious attitude toward problem solving
• At least 4 years experience working in Web development - this is not an entry-level position
• Good at hitting deadlines with a thump
• Excellent written communication skills - you will sometimes be in direct contact with clients
• A long-term interest in keeping on top of new technology trends and tools
• Try not to have the same username as anyone we've previously hired

### Who can apply?

• You must want a permanent position, i.e. not part-time or contract.
• You must be able to start immediately, i.e. you can give standard notice now.
• You should be able to work in Canada, but this is not a deal-breaker.
• You must be set up to work from home -- we went all-virtual during the pandemic.
• You must work in sync with North American timezones. We're in Pacific, Mountain and Central Times, and we want this position to share common work hours.
• In addition to substantial benefits, bonuses and vacation time, this position is currently budgeted for Canadians in the range of $75,000 - $95,000.

### Who are we?

• We're a 2002-founded company with a stable staff, established history and plenty of growth potential.
• We work on meaningful projects that change lives and improve society.
• We're fun to work for, and our deep client roster is full of excellent humans to work with as well; there are no waterfall death marches here.
• We are mostly based in Vancouver, and we offer an open, collaborative, startup-esque work culture, with the benefits of working remotely.
• We pay a competitive wage tied to experience but not dependent on your previous jobs.
• We are an equal-opportunity employer that values diversity. We do not discriminate based on race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status. You shouldn't either.

To apply, send us a cover letter, your resume, and links to websites you've built and/or examples of code you've written (i.e. your github account).

And don't send your resume as a Word document. We mean it.

We thank all applicants for their interest, however only those candidates selected for interviews will be contacted.
