We’re hiring: PHP Developer

Do you want to work in information security? How about being able to work anywhere on the Planet? On a beach in Hawaii, or taking your lunch break fly fishing a stream in Alaska.

We are a fast growing information security company. You will be working for us remotely full-time, with full benefits including medical, dental, 401K and a generous stock options package.

We are a team of four full-time employees and a handful of contractors. We’re fast moving, nimble, self managing and work in a relaxed atmosphere. Rather than working for a mega-corp, you will be working in a company where your work has real impact in the fun high-growth stages of our evolution.

We use apps like Slack, Fogbugz and Dropbox for our workflow. Each team member is World-class at what they do. We have flexible working hours and we are a diverse team ranging in age and location from Maine to Redmond to Knoxville to Florida.

All permanent positions will involve a trial period of approximately 1 month with a minimum commitment of 10 hours per week. You will be paid for this time and it will be used to evaluate whether both parties want to pursue a permanent position.

Here are some of the core skills we look for in team members:

  • A willingness to grab whatever task is required of you and run with it. This may include work outside of your core tasks. We are a small team and everyone needs to pitch in.
  • A high level of productivity and self-management.
  • Must be comfortable working remotely and interfacing with other team members using Slack and other remote tools.
  • Excellent analytical ability and problem solving skills.
  • A strong work ethic.
  • Effective communication skills. This is critical for remote workers and we can’t emphasize this enough. You will spend a significant amount of time interfacing with our customers and/or other team members through your keyboard and it’s critically important that you can effectively convey your thoughts.
