Senior / Intermediate Web Developer
Job Description
Position Summary:
Full time, 6-month contract. Possibility of permanent position.
Accepting candidates from across Canada. (Although if you're on the west coast we can play foosball and such.) Work remotely, communicate via Google Hangouts, Skype, email, etc.
Details:
We are a tiny but fast-growing company looking for a developer who can make an impact in all aspects of the development process. We could list a bunch of qualifications, and will below, but essentially we only have two requirements. To borrow from Joel Spolsky, we are looking for someone who
a. Is smart
and
b. Gets things done.
Things change so quickly in the tech world that we would much rather hire someone who can learn new concepts quickly and do things right than someone who happens to already have experience with angular.js or whatever. Of course any relevant experience you do have is a plus, but as long as you’re willing and able to learn, nothing’s absolutely necessary.
As for b., obviously that’s important for any company, but it’s especially important for a small startup. We need to get things done to be competitive, and each developer’s contribution is critical. Working from home means space to concentrate without annoyances or interruptions, but it also means you must be someone who can keep motivated and on track. (Fortunately it seems to help to have interesting work to do!)
The specific duties will depend on your interests and aptitudes. They could be weighted more toward user experience design, or to back-end coding. Ideally your range of abilities will be fairly broad, but we’ll certainly try to have you do what you enjoy most as much as possible. Regardless, you will play an important role in the planning process: helping to decide not just how to do things, but also what should be done.
Any additional skills you bring to the table are also appreciated - anything from system administration to graphics to marketing experience is useful!
