Senior Open Source Web Developer

Are you an experienced Open Source web developer with a penchant for not only crafting impeccable code but also clearly conveying the meaning and purpose behind it? If you're an accomplished senior-level developer who excels in delivering exceptional Open Source digital solutions while inspiring your peers, we invite you to join our team.

Our ideal candidate does not merely produce code; they are an expert communicator, adeptly navigating English in both spoken and written discourse. You possess a substantial track record of orchestrating remarkable Open Source digital solutions in a client services environment. While good developers generate code, you work at a higher level by also clearly communicating the rationale behind your code, articulating how it addresses the challenge and providing a clear path for implementation and testing.

As a Senior Open Source Web Developer, you will assume a pivotal role, not merely as a participant, but as a conductor guiding others in best practices, architecting solutions, and shaping the technical direction of a project through meticulous documentation and guidance. You will lead demos and collaborate with other disciplines to explain how proposed technology solutions fit into the larger business problem. You are able to build and design the architecture of a project, and you know how to thoroughly document a project’s code.
