Mid- to Senior-Level  PHP & Frontend Developer

 

A senior PHP & frontend developer should be expert at reviewing goals and requirements for a given client project, then recommending the appropriate tools for the job—whether it be a specific CMS (WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento, PrestaShop, etc.), a framework or a custom build. With experience advising, developing and deploying projects of all sizes, this person is comfortable in both making progress solo and working with a team of developers (and designers) of various skill level and expertise.

 

Is this you? If yes, you're likely annoyed by every CMS on the market (even if you have favorites), because they aren't developed exactly how you would have developed them. You keep thinking you should just build your own, but never find the time between paying jobs. You know PHP, MySQL, HTML, CSS and JavaScript inside and out—enough to mentor developers around you on best practices, in addition to handling your own production tasks. You probably attend and speak at tech meetups. If this is still familiar, then read on…
