We are looking for someone who has a strong background in WordPress development, as this will be your main responsibility in versatile client projects where we create websites and e-commerce solutions, just to name some examples. Your tasks will include customizing WordPress themes, plugin development, working in both backend and frontend and creating modern APIs. You’ll get space and peace to work on one project at a time. If you like, you can also work directly with clients but it’s not required.
You'll be working closely with different developers and designers. Support and help is always available from fellow experienced and highly-skilled team members As a small company (approximately 10 people) we're able to tailor the role according to your strengths, so we’re not looking for anything too specific: we think you might be just right, if you’re someone with some experience, a lot of attitude and huge potential.
We are looking for:
Solid experience in WordPress development and evidence to showcase your skills (e.g. websites)
Previous experience from our stack: PHP, JavaScript, MySQL or other relational databases, and REST API
Attitude on point! We are a passionate team – emphasis on team – and want to grow together.
Studies from a relevant field
Fluent skills in English
We see as an advantage:
Previous experience from the list below. These are a few new(ish) and cool things you’ll get familiar with when working in this role in the future:
Node.js, ReactJS, Gatsby.js
CMS and e-commerce platforms such as Contentful and Shopify
Contrast Digital offers:
Super interesting line of clients in all shapes and sizes (e.g. Makia, Smarp and Relex)
A key role with great growth opportunities both short-term and long-term
Freedom and ownership in your work, results are what matters
Encouragement to develop your role in the direction you want
The industry’s best tools, equipment, and slack-emojis (you might even get one for yourself)
A nifty office in the heart of Helsinki
Motivated and fun team
Annual trips with the team (e.g. last year we went to Lapland)
Competitive salary and good benefits, such as top-notch health-care with Pihlajalinna, great insurance (also for free-time) and culture/sports coupons
Possibility for remote work and flexible working hours − however, we don’t work overtime
