We are a culturally diverse team who are inclusive and value equal opportunity and pay. As an organization we build trust with our clients and strive for excellence in all that we do.

We have an immediate need for an experienced Front End Developer to join our growing team of freelancers. Work needs vary between ongoing support, feature development, iterative site/application improvements and theme development.

You’re capable of providing guidance, advice, and estimates on various development tasks.
Have strong communication skills. It is very important that you are a proactive communicator.
Excel working in a remote, telecommuting environment, meaning you’re autonomous, self-driven, responsive, transparent, and self-organized.
Aptitude with WHM, CPanel and terminal / Bash / ssh are needed.
Some professional experience with PHP, MySQL, WordPress Hooks / Filters and Node.js is required even though this is a primarily front end dev position.

This is a freelance position to start with around 32 - 40 hours of work per week available. If we are a good mutual fit for one another, there is also the opportunity to grow into a part time or full time employment contract (telecommute, full benefits like 401(k) matching, vision, dental, life insurance, PTO and flexible time off etc.).

We view this as a long-term engagement, so this could be a great opportunity if you’re looking for a role that involves ongoing collaboration together that could evolve into more stable hours and/or a permanent position as the company continues to grow.
