Full Stack PHP Developer

Full Stack PHP Developer wanted to join awesome team of smart people in growing start up.

ThriveCart is a successful and fast growing business that enables powerful sales funnel and checkout flows for its customers. We are looking to scale our team so we can continue to scale this business.

Skills you absolutely must have

– Solid development skills in PHP and Javascript. We’re not just looking for people that can follow tutorials and piece things together. We want people that can actually code.

When you apply, your application MUST include a PHP function you’ve written yourself that reverses a string. Yes, I know strrev exists, but I want you to write the function yourself to show me you can. Functions like strlen and count are fine. Variations on strrev like array_reverse are not.

– Some basic sys admin skills. We don’t expect you to know the ins and outs of every single technology involved but you mustn’t freak out the moment you have to do something that isn’t code.

– You need to have great communication skills. Don’t worry, we’re not talking about having perfect English (nearly our entire team have English as a second language) but you will need to communicate with lots of different people in order to get the answers you need. If you can’t explain yourself and understand what others tell you, please don’t apply.

– Team work. This isn’t the kind of company where you get given a job by someone from marketing and work it all by yourself. You’ll be part of a team and need to take care of everything that goes along with that including proper source control (we use Git) and updating project management (we use JIRA).

Technologies we use that it’d be nice if you’ve worked with before –

– PHP
– MySQL
– Javascript
– AWS

Other skills it’d be nice if you have but we’ll train you if you don’t –

– Agile software development. We have our own development process that’s closer to Kanban than to Scrum but we borrow heavily from both of them.

– Docker. We use it for some parts of the project although you’re unlikely to need to write a Docker file yourself.

Still with us?

Fantastic, let me take a moment to explain what we offer in return –

– A team full of smart people to work with and learn from.

– Interesting projects that will challenge your skills, not endlessly implementing the same CMS CRUD over and over.

– Freedom to get on with the job. We’re not some giant company with dozens of people between you and a result. You’ll be part of a small team that’s trusted to get on and deliver great software.

– Flexible working hours – We have people working from all over the world so we’ve developed systems to cope with that. As long as you can be online for the important few conversations (like project briefs) the rest of it is down to you to schedule.

– Reasonable deadlines agreed based on what is possible not set by someone from marketing who thought today would be a good day to flog the troops until dawn.

Sounds like what you’re looking for? Great.

Send us details of what you can and can’t do (be honest, it’s important) as well as a few details about who you are as a person and we’ll be in touch.
