Wordpress Developer

Our client is a NY-based company that provides services in the field of online education. They developed next-generation solutions and programs for teachers and students which are used all over the states. There are several products and web applications with 30+ existing sites of various sizes, some of them are quite heavily loaded.

The WordPress developer will be responsible for the development of new webpages and shared components on new and existing sites.

We expect a candidate to have good English language and communication skills, who is willing to learn new technologies and contribute to the team goals.

At the moment the team consists of 3 WordPress developers, 1 QA, and a Product Owner.

They follow Agile (Scrum) and stick to bi-weekly sprints.

The client's culture is very similar to ours - there is no hierarchy, friendly and open-minded team where each voice is valuable. They also have a very solid, and mature approach to technology, best practices, and processes, with the latest frameworks and tools. They expect people to be proactive and good team players.

We hire people not to a project, but to the company. If the project (or your work in it) is over, you go to another project or to a paid “Idle”.
