[dcphp-dev] [job] Junior Developer - Global Thinking - Alexandria, VA

Job Title: Platform Developer, I

Writing good software requires a creative mindset. Software production is not a manufacturing process; it is an art. As a Platform Developer, you will be responsible for writing scripts, utilities, and programs to accomplish a variety of tasks: from automating human work to rendering a beautifully designed user interface.

Your responsibility is to focus on feature development in our asset management platform. This is a web-based software-as-a-service product, so it is important that you understand the foundations of the web, how data moves around the Internet, and how you can manipulate it. Our platform transcends the digital space as it integrates with the physical manufacturing processes of the print and publishing world. You will have the opportunity to work with and influence that process, sometimes even integrating directly with machinery.

Our team is an elite design and programming task force. We take the dreams of our industry's most innovative minds and weave them into reality. Operating in the space between the digital and physical realms, our products and services put us on the forefront of innovation in the printing industry. Printing is an old world business, in many ways hindered by an inability to embrace new technology. Our job is not to craft solutions that just digitize outdated practices and habits, but to redefine people's assumptions about what is possible.

Things that you will be doing:

  • working with a diverse team of technical experts

  • producing code that will power marketing and manufacturing processes

  • reviewing other team members' code

  • supporting the features that you develop

  • influencing the architecture of a platform akin to the "Internet of things"

Technical skills that will help you in this role:

  • Database design

  • Object-oriented programming

  • PHP 5.3+

  • MySQL

  • HTML / CSS

  • Javascript

  • Git / Git-flow

You will succeed in this role if you are:

  • a dedicated craftsman who regularly improves and sharpens his or her skills

  • self-motivated, ambitious, detail-oriented, and organized

  • able to thrive in a dynamic and fast-paced professional environment

  • capable of visualizing technical solutions when presented with conceptual business needs

  • interested in having fun while achieving great results, working with awesome people, and beer

Where you can go from here:

  • Platform Developer, II - more experienced, more responsible

  • Platform Engineer - other Platform Developers report to you

How to apply:

  • Email your resume and cover letter to devjobs@globalthinking.com. Please include links to your github, bitbucket, or personal website.
