Backend Developer (PHP + Node)

Hey!

We’re a small, bootstrapped team of product creators with a passion for making cool and useful stuff! For the past 6 years, we’ve been helping people grow their businesses by marketing their products/services online. We believe in rapid iteration and testing with the market. We are now looking for a self-starting, absolute expert PHP/WordPress developer to join our team and help us maintain and improve our legacy codebase and work on exciting new projects.

Responsibilities:
Our legacy app is built on top of wordpress as a fully custom theme and generates static, minified JS files for themeing Infusionsoft order form pages. These JS files are authenticated and served via a Node server. We need to keep this codebase up-to-date and stable as it’s heavily used by the Infusionsoft community.

NOTE: This is not a basic wordpress website — this is a full-fledged production application using WordPress at it’s core

As our PHP/WordPress Developer, you will:

– Dockerize our legacy app to create a proper local development environment
– Keep all dependencies up to date (WordPress, PHP, plugins, etc.) and fix any breakages that occur
– Maintain the codebase for Long-Term Support (LTS)
– Collaborate with the team to develop our next-gen product, integrations, and WordPress plugins
– Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues with our legacy WordPress application and plugins
– Ensure the security, performance, and scalability of our solutions

Requirements:

– Proven experience as a PHP/WordPress developer with expertise in maintaining and improving legacy codebases
– Strong knowledge of PHP, WordPress, MySQL, and related technologies
– Familiarity with the Memberium plugin and its integration with Infusionsoft/Keap
– Experience with containerization technologies, such as Docker
– Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to troubleshoot complex issues
– Excellent communication and teamwork skills
– A proactive and self-starting attitude, able to work independently and meet deadlines
– A passion for continuous learning and staying up-to-date with industry trends and best practices

Nice-to-haves:

– Experience in developing WordPress plugins and integrations
– Familiarity with front-end technologies, such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript/jQuery

What We Offer:

– A supportive and collaborative work environment
– Opportunity for growth and development as you work on our next-gen product, integrations, and ancillary plugins
– Competitive compensation commensurate with experience
– Remote work with flexible hours to suit your lifestyle
– The chance to work on exciting projects and make a real impact on our clients’ businesses
