Job description

As a WordPress Developer at Elegant Themes, you will be working with a small and agile team made up of talented devs from all around the world. We work with git, chat on Slack and our team structure is flat and open. Self-motivated individuals tend to thrive best here, and we are looking for someone filled with inspiration and who isn't afraid to take initiative.

This position is for someone with a deep understanding of WordPress. You have built your own themes and plugins before and possibly even contributed to WordPress Core. You enjoy finding elegant solutions to complex problems and are familiar with the WordPress motto - "code is poetry." You are up-to-date with the latest and greatest trends and technologies because you are engaged in the open source community and you enjoy building software that pushes the web forward. While WordPress is a PHP-based application, our flagship product uses a front-end interface built with React.js and Flux. A good amount of your time will be spent developing with Javascript.

This is a full time position available to both on-site and remote employees. Employment includes full benefits, paid vacation, a competitive salary and unlimited espresso brewed from our Rocket Cellini Premium Plus v2!

• Be creative and contribute based on your own merit.
• Be a positive, humble and contributing member to our small team.
• Take the initiative to better yourself as a developer and to apply that knowledge to better our products and help our team succeed.
