Hiring: Junior Web Developer, Specializing in PHP

iMarc is looking for a Junior Web Developer to help us build PHP-driven internet applications.

Learn more about us, view our work, and meet the team. We're located in Newburyport, Massachusetts.

The ideal candidate has a couple years of work experience building web sites and web applications. A portfolio of personal, freelance, or work-related projects is required. While almost all of our work is PHP/SQL based, knowledge of another web programming or scripting language would be a bonus.

Most important, we're looking for someone who loves creating websites, solving problems, and learning.

Key Responsibilities

• Write clean, efficient PHP and SQL
• Write beautifully semantic markup
• Work collaboratively with the creative team and other developers
• Brainstorm and work closely with clients and staff
• Maintain and edit existing web sites
• Contribute to the development and improvement of our code base
• Able to commute daily to our Newburyport office. Telecommuting is not an option.

Candidates should understand object-oriented programming concepts. A solid understanding of relational databases and SQL is also crucial to the position. In addition to back-end PHP and SQL programming, this position entails a significant amount of front-end coding. You don't have to be John Resig, but some knowledge of JavaScript will certainly help. Clean HTML and smart CSS is a requirement.

Candidates should have a favorite editor — if you're not up for a good editor war, this job probably isn't for you. More importantly, if you enjoy debating best practices and challenging yourself and your co-workers, you'll fit in perfectly. Basic understanding of how to properly leverage HTTP and concepts such as MVC and REST are not required, but would be a big bonus.

We're looking for someone who works well both independently and in a team setting. If you're organized, self-driven, and curious, you'll fit in well.

What iMarc Offers

• Excellent opportunity to learn and grow as a web developer
• Attractive benefits package including health and dental coverage
• Company-sponsored retirement plan
• A fun, creative work environment in excellent surroundings
• Challenging, varied projects
• Full-time salaried position with a stable, 11-year old company

Send us a link to your online (HTML) resume or email a PDF or plain text resume to careers@imarc.net
