This part-time Backend Developer position is your opportunity to deploy production code that reaches a massive audience. What sets the offer apart is trust — $84,000 - $130,000 and part-time hours are nice, but the technology ownership is the headline.

• Translate fuzzy product wishes from Financial Planning Plus stakeholders into shippable PHP services
• Collaborate with product and design teams to ship features end to end

What You'll Bring

• A communicator who writes the meeting recap nobody asked for but everyone reads
• Hands-on proficiency with Agile, ideally paired with Nginx
• A point of view, held loosely and defended well
• Critical thinking skills and sound, independent judgment
• The patience to mentor without taking over the keyboard
• A thoughtfully-bold bias toward action, balanced by knowing when to wait
