All Roads Inc., an authoritative branding firm with offices in Toronto and Kingston, ON, is seeking a senior developer and technical lead to assist in the development of robust and proprietary online systems for clients. This isn’t a “slapping together websites” kind of job. This is a “build epic web platforms for enterprises” opportunity for someone who is passionate about blending front and back-end web technologies using PHP, HTML, CSS, JS and new frameworks.
We have incredible projects lined up and we need a truly terrific individual, to drive our development and help build a passionate developer team. The ideal person will arrive with a strong attention to detail, a willingness to learn, an outgoing personality and the ability to work effectively as part of our team.
We need this self-motivated pro to communicate well and be able to imagine and implement elegant systems while paying attention to the “big picture”.
Apply and then ask us about the projects we have for you to work on. We’re not kidding – these are kick-butt builds! And more importantly, we’re a fun up and coming company!
As a senior member of the Technology team, you will be responsible for:
- Using PHP, MySQL and JS to implement new web platforms with our front-end designers on our LAMP stacks
- Creating, extending and maintaining custom CMS systems and Wordpress.
- Taking ownership and driving the technology that powers the company and our clients.
- Creating new APIs and building on top of existing APIs
- Overseeing and helping streamline development processes
Your Technical Leadership at All Roads:
Writing SOLID and secure code is a passion for you and you’re always on the look out for new ways to make your code more reusable, more efficient and more secure.
You are good at explaining and detailing out technologies and techniques to other developers and will be enthusiastic at supporting them with building their own knowledge base. You will strive at streamlining and improving our development and deployment processes, and implementing automation where possible - this will be a core part of your role.
PHP will be your main programming language, but you may also have roots in other languages such as Ruby, Java, Drupal or C, which have shaped your programming style. You always have your eye out on the latest movements in the development world, and keep up to date with the latest changes in the PHP language.
Frameworks, such as Drupal, Laravel, Symphony, Aura, Silex or similar for PHP, are tools you use to develop rapidly, but you are also comfortable working outside of these and working with CMS driven websites such as Wordpress.
You create well-structured databases and have experience with web services. You also have an excellent foundation working with HTML, CSS, JavaScript and JavaScript libraries such as jQuery to support your work with PHP.
You proactively communicate with others in a team, and are willing to both help and to accept help when required. Your verbal and written communication skills are strong and you always demonstrate attention to detail. You are familiar with software development processes such as Waterfall, Agile and TDD, and can estimate timescales with acceptable accuracy.
