About you:

• You love building scalable web-based JavaScript applications with ES6+, React, and Node.
• You are well-versed with the architectural concepts behind React - state and data management, JSX, creating a componentized system, and JavaScript tooling.
• You are knowledgeable of PHP in WordPress as a platform, including custom post types, taxonomies, and use of WordPress beyond typical "blog" use cases.
• You have a code portfolio of real-world samples. Link us to your best work on GitHub and you'll never have to do any live coding or whiteboard testing!
• You prefer to work fully remote and are effectively engaging in a distributed team from the location of your choosing.

Benefits of interest:

• Multiple paid time off programs, including accrued PTO, parental leave, bereavement leave, and company holidays – including an all-company break from Christmas Eve to New Years Day.
• Health, dental, and life insurance programs (available for United States team members).
• Retirement contribution programs (currently available in the U.S. and U.K.).
• Flexible and alternate schedule programs - including options for 4-day work week (Monday-Thursday) configurations.
• $3,000 USD accrued annually in professional development budget for you to spend on conferences, training, or to buy back time for programs like independent study.
• Global Company summits – opportunities to meet, socialize and learn with fellow 10uppers in person at remarkable destinations.
• An end-of-year all-hands bonus program, along with smaller opportunities for recognition throughout the year.
• A Director of Engineering that supports your career growth and development.

The expected annual salary range for this position is between $90,000 and $150,000 USD. Compensation is determined based on a variety of factors including relevant experience, other job related qualifications/skills, geographic location, and business needs.
