Full-stack Web Developer

If you're more of a full-stack programmer, you'll still want strong PHP skills and a working knowledge of frameworks, so you can likely build on your skills here.

mySQL and Database Design

With your back-end capabilities, it's assumed you'll have database skills too. mySQL and MariaDB are our main DB platforms of use. You'll need to know how to design a relational database around your application, and feel comfortable maintaining and editing DBs.

Familiar or proficient with front-end technologies

If you are back-end focused then you should know how the front-end of things work. If you're full-stack, you'll want to be proficient in front-end technologies. That would entail connecting the back-end to the front-end using your seasoned knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and pulling from APIs (your own or 3rd party)., We build on LAMP stacks. You know your way around a command line, both for maintaining your packages on project builds, as well as on a Linux server for your deployment. A big plus if you have Server Admin skills, but also not a requirement.

We're flexible about the skill set we're seeking to fill this role. You might have a strong background in full-stack, or be heavily weighted towards the back-end. If you have 3 years or more experience in building websites and applications with PHP software platforms and frameworks, you'll fit right into the role., If you're mostly back-end, we're looking for strong skills in PHP. We use Laravel mainly for comprehensive projects and applications, so that is likely a must. However, having similar PHP MVC knowledge and you probably can pick up Laravel, no problem., Beyond just installing themes and plugins, we'd like someone who can build out custom WordPress themes and plugins. While many of our sites use WordPress there are a few in Craft CMS so knowing that is helpful.
