We’re looking for developers (Full Stack, Front-End, Back-End) with a strong sense of teamwork and a desire to write code to join our first-choice contractor partner pool. Think of it more like being a VIP member of our extended team, rather than taking on a full-time position.

How this works:

If you qualify for our contractor pool, we’ll reach out whenever we need an extra pair of hands. When a project fits your schedule, you’ll have complete flexibility to say yes and provide an estimate for the work, and no pressure when it’s not the right match.
We intentionally limit the size of our contractor pool to only a small handful of reliable, capable developers. We’d rather build long-term relationships with a few good coders who can function as an extension of our team, than have a race-to-the-bottom free for all whenever we get a new project.
This is a great way to work on interesting challenges and collaborate with a passionate team, while still keeping the flexibility and autonomy you get as a freelancer.
Heads up: We have a strong preference for working directly with individuals or small teams, rather than contracting out to whitelabel engineering companies.

Who we’re looking for:

In addition to being able to support our standard tech stack, we’re also looking for people who can help expand our capabilities. We’ve included a list below of some of the core abilities that we most frequently find useful, though it’s not necessarily all-encompassing. If you feel like we have enough meaningful overlap, we encourage you to reach out.

Advanced WordPress development skills, including traditional WordPress implementations, Full Site Editing (FSE) setups, headless configurations, and Gutenberg.
Strong ability with Javascript, and experience working with various JS technologies and modern front-end frameworks, like React, Vue, Node, Next, etc.
Experience working with APIs to build integrations, and, in particular, hands-on experience implementing SSO in web applications.
Search technologies, like Algolia, Typsense, or similar platforms.
Strong ability with Git, PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, and an aptitude for documentation.
Great communication skills and the ability to translate business requirements into technical solutions and explain technical concepts in accessible terms.

We’re also interested in people with experience working with:

AI technologies in regards to search and building RAGs.
Headless/modern CMSes, like Craft, Strapi, and other similar platforms.
