We are seeking a contract (full-time), highly productive, jack-of-all trades "rock-star" developer, software architect, systems engineer and DBA to join our all-star team.
This position is intended to be roughly 40 hours per week of work. It is a remote/work-at-home position with a very flexible work/vacation schedule as lifestyle is hugely important to our company.
You will be expected to be available during normal EST business hours (8a-5p) with occasional off-hour support during critical business events. You will work hand-in-hand with our existing CTO to optimize, support and manage our entire web infrastructure.
We, Natural Health Sherpa (http://naturalhealthsherpa.com) are a leading natural health company based in the U.S. We publish courses and videos that help people get healthy naturally. And we sell a line of high-end nutraceuticals. Our growth is being propelled by the tsunami of demand swelling from society’s skyrocketing desire to seek out natural solutions to common health problems.
We’ve grown every year since our inception in 2010 and are having our best year ever in 2015 and need another developer to help us scale to the next level. Our team consists of a very small number of very sharp people who simply get things done, are fun to work with and who are accountable.
We are looking for someone who has hands-on experience developing marketing and e-commerce platforms, subscription billing/management experience and thoroughly knowledge of payment processing as well as experience developing customized business intelligence reports from scratch.
Coordinating with our CTO, your primary focus will be adding features and functionality to our direct response software platform (LAMP), integrating with 3rd party tools, and optimizing our web infrastructure.
This job is suited only for people who have proven that they have a lets-solve-this-problem mindset, are hands-on in all facets of web engineering from the browser-to-the-code-to-the-server, and will pro-actively seek out new solutions, build them cleanly and quickly, and help grow our business.
Here's an example of what we might need and you should be able to do it all swiftly, accurately, intelligently and completely:
- When we get an asset pack of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript from our design team and need to get it live with a bunch of dynamic content from PHP, MySQL, or a myriad of integrated server- or client- technologies (FB, Google, etc.), you'd do that all yourself;
- Once the page is live and we want it optimized to hit a minimum PageSpeed score of 90, move all of the static assets to our CDN, and get the responsive mobile UX score to 100, you’d do it;
- Then, when we need new functionality added to the underlying system that delivers that page in order to offer new features, data, or reporting capabilities, you’ll build it all yourself using PHP;
- To capture that new data, large-scale MySQL schemas (100s of millions of rows) will need to be updated and optimized, including creating any related SPs, UDFs, triggers, and views, which you would do;
- When we need to report on that data, including a robust data warehouse, lightning-fast reporting, and answer complex business questions, you would create the whole system architecture, code that entire thing yourself, and integrate with all of the necessary third parties.
- And when all of this is being built, deployed, fixed, and maintained, pushing code and database changes to managed-hosted and cloud-hosted front-end and back-end servers, you would do all of the code deployments, build automation, and testing yourself.
Please send an email to us and tell us why you'd be a great fit for this job. And why the flexible schedule is so important to your lifestyle. Please include your resume, code samples, and salary requirements.
