Code Wrangler

As a developer here youâ€™re responsible for Making Stuff Go. The job is tough to describe because itâ€™s so broad, but historically it has included new product development from conception to implementation, high-volume and high-concurrency programming, and a MacGyver-like dedication to squashing bugs. Here are some skills that will come in handy:

A strong understanding of the Web including HTTP, clean URIs, HTML, and CSS. Proficiency with scripting languages, particularly PHP. Low-level language experience a plus, but not required. Experience running and developing on Open Source platforms like Linux. The ability to iterate and ship ideas quickly, with loose (at best) direction. Knowledge of typography and design basics, the ability to create simple and usable interfaces. Must be comfortable with customer-facing roles including support and documentation. Knowledge of how, and when, to optimize PHP and SQL.

Our positions are full-time with full benefits.
