ABOUT THE COMPANY
Alpha Directorate LLC is a Company headquartered in the USA. We are a brand new, very well-funded, high-tech startup, developing a game-changing vision of a large-scale virtual social space.
This changes everything. New ideas require brave visionary perspectives, passionate execution, and a talented, devoted and committed team. This is your chance to join the growing team and a visionary company!
JOB DESCRIPTION
If hired, you will be the leading technical specialist, as well as a key member of a growing team (front/back end developers, designers, testers, support team, etc.)
* Primary responsibility. You will be architecting, designing and implementing PHP code; working from detailed functional specifications.
* Secondary responsibility. Some frontend work will also be needed. However, we shall not expect artistic designs of you; just basic GUI design.
* Code reviews. As we grow our team, you'll be responsible for reviewing other developers' code in a collaborative, constructive and friendly manner.
* Remote work. Work from the comfort of your home. You set your own hours. We don't control you. Only the results are important, not the hours.
* Teamwork. You'll report directly to the CEO. We believe in working closely together; talking and exchanging ideas. You won't be isolated.
* Time zones. Frequent teleconferencing will be necessary. Due to time difference, late afternoon meetings (mornings in US) may be necessary.
REQUIREMENTS
MANDATORY TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
* PHP5. You should be experienced and know PHP very well. We appreciate clean code design, best practices and using object oriented PHP as needed.
* WordPress. We use WP as a rapid application development platform. Strong technical knowledge of WP architecture and design constraints is a must.
* WP Plugins. Proven ability to extend and create WP plugins. You will be developing not just simple extensions, but also complex new plugins.
* Server Admin. We don't require specialized knowledge. But you need to possess basic LAMP server administration skills to get the job done.
* Front-end technologies: JQuery, Ajax, JavaScript, HTML5/CSS3. You should be able to read, review code and to make implementation changes as needed.
* Responsive web design. You don't need to be an expert. Native mobile apps will follow soon. But for initial release, the GUI must adapt to mobile screens.
OPTIONAL TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE
* Crypto-currency. Familiarity with Bitcoin wallet (or similar) integration and development would be nice. Although this can be learned on the job.
* WebRTC. If you know or if you are interested in this technology, it might be helpful. But again, you can learn this on the job.
* Git. We use it for our source control. Even if you are not an expert yet, it's very easy to learn (assuming you have experience with any other SCM tool).
* Formal Education. Having a master's degree in computer science is a plus, but strong PHP skills are the key. We do not require any official papers.
NON-TECHNICAL SKILLS
* English language. Good, working knowledge is required: reading, writing, speaking and understanding. English is the necessary working language.
* Communication skills. Very different from the point above. You must be able to clearly and coherently express, explain yourself: orally and in-writing.
* Team leadership. Primarily, you will develop software. But you should also be able to guide, interact and advise a growing software development team.
BENEFITS
* Attractive and fair salary. We take good care of our employees.
* Permanent, full-time position. This is not a short-term project. There is no end date to complete development. New features and ideas will never stop.
* Job security. You should never worry about money. There's plenty of funding to run the company and to pay the employees for years to come.
* Professional growth. Working for a US-company is a bit different. You will expand into new technologies, become more independent and creative.
* Remote work is comfortable and convenient. Forget about crowds and daily drives. Instead of wasting gas and time in traffic, just walk over to your desk.
* Equity stock award. You receive from us a percentage share of ownership in the company as our appreciation. This share can become huge in the future.
* Visa sponsorship. We want our top employees to join us in the US. If you prove your dedication, our lawyers will do the rest to get you here.
* Formal arrangements. We have several options for remote work, and we can discuss these topics during our interviews. The job is available immediately.
