We’re looking for someone to join our office and culture who loves building websites with a purpose.
We really don’t care about the skills you have in specific languages, although if you don’t know HTML, CSS, or client-side Javascript then we’d be surprised if you’re a good fit. Smart, dedicated people can pick up new languages and frameworks relatively quickly.
Experience with WordPress, Sass, Twig, Laravel, relational databases with millions-to-billions of rows, and social media APIs are a plus but not a requirement.
- Are you the kind of person who always has a few projects going on at once?
- Do you sometimes stay up late at night tinkering with new languages and frameworks, or hacking away at an undocumented API?
- Are you the kind of person who isn’t afraid of making and admitting a mistake — and then learning from it?
- Do you enjoy learning from people with different backgrounds and skills than your own
- Are you interested in utilizing digital tools and data to increase personal and economic freedom for more people?
If the above are true, you’re probably a good fit for Red Edge.
