The company silverorange is a design and development agency based in Canada. When pursuing work, we focus on interesting and meaningful projects. Over our 24 years as a company, we've worked with well-known technology organizations like Duolingo and Mozilla, not-for-profit organizations working in areas including affordable internet access for low-income families, and with world-renowned doctors training other doctors through online education. We’re proud of the fantastic products we’ve built in partnership with our clients and we’re actively invested in the processes behind these products. We are committed to fostering a team-focused approach in our work of building great user-focused systems, while also placing a serious emphasis on quality of life, openness, empathy, and a supportive work environment.

The position We’re looking for an intermediate or senior web developer with a focus on PHP to join our team. You’ll start your silverorange career helping to develop and support sites for a series of clients including some in the medical education field. The anticipated path for this position is to spend several years focused on PHP development, with the opportunity to work with other Web technologies over time as well. This position is available immediately and we will work with you to get you started as soon as possible.

Responsibilities

• Working with PHP packages managed with Composer.
• Updating and building out new front-end pages using a combination of PHP, data from a content management system, command-line scripts, and CSS including responsive designs based on provided mockups.
• Reviewing code and content changes from other developers on the project.
• Working from mockups (Figma, Photoshop, etc.), wireframes, and design systems.
• Communicating with team members and clients to understand and balance requirements.
• Identifying and helping to address accessibility issues in Web systems.
• Writing tests for your work.
• Planning, estimating, prioritizing, and balancing tasks and client requests.
• Context switching between several client projects on an ongoing basis.

Requirements

While not required, if you have any of the following skills let us know :

Growth & ownership

Our team is co-operative and will help you learn and expand your skills via mentoring, team-wide support, and learning opportunities. All members of the team are encouraged and given space to grow as individual contributors, and have ongoing opportunities in project and team leadership. We’re excited to hear your fresh ideas and approach. We have decades of collective experience, and we all continue to become better at what we do by both teaching and learning from each other. Add your voice to our mix! Opportunity for employee ownership is a fundamental part of silverorange (non-founders currently own more than a third of the company) and we’re currently working on new ways to transfer even more ownership to employees.

Inclusion & diversity

People with different backgrounds and experiences make us stronger, and we’re always looking for ways to improve. Our team is getting more diverse across many dimensions of diversity, but we’re still missing perspectives that could make our work better. We highly encourage people from traditionally underrepresented groups in our industry to apply—we’d love to hear from you.

Remote working is just as good as local

Our team has been remote-friendly for over 20 years, and remote-first for the last 9. We continue to improve our approach to having a dispersed team. This is a full-time remote position regardless of location, though you are welcome to work from our lovely offices in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island if you wish. The majority of our team is full-time remote and 95% of our clients are remote. You’ll need to be comfortable working with a remote team regardless of your location. Typically all employees spend at least one week each year working from our Charlottetown office, so plan on visiting PEI semi-regularly. Though you may be working remotely, you’ll be an active member of a great and small but growing team, both here at silverorange and with our clients. Regular voice or video communication will help keep you in touch with the smart people with whom you’ll be working.
