Why work for us?

• No more commuting. This job is fully remote, meaning you can work from home or wherever else you like.
• Great work environment. We believe that a strong team makes a strong company. We focus on not just building a great company but creating long-term jobs and a work environment that we all want to be at every day.

• Have a massive impact. Our WordPress plugins are installed in production by more than 50,000 websites – meaning your code will impact a huge amount of people.

• Cats. Who wouldn’t want to work for a company called “Fatcat Apps”? 😛

Hi, my name is David Hehenberger. I’m the founder of Fatcat Apps.

Our small, passionate, team of 3 is looking for an experienced programmer to help us with our WordPress plugins.

We pride ourselves on creating software that not only has an amazing user experience but delivers great and real results for our users. We’re looking for someone who can share our values and has passion for creating awesome software.

I personally review all applications myself.

Even though we all work remotely, we try to meet up as much as possible and organize fun trips. Above pictures are from a recent trip in Oregon.

Senior WordPress Developer (full-time)

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with the team and work on all of our existing WordPress plugins, including Quiz Cat, Optin Cat & Easy Pricing Tables.
• Work on building new WordPress plugins.
• Help handle support requests from customers.

Requirements

• Excellent PHP skills.
• Excellent JavaScript skills.
• Familiarity with Git.

If most of these describe you, then you are a good fit:

• When you have clear directions you don’t need to ask for permission on smaller decisions.
• Curious about the “why we do it like this” and not afraid to ask questions.
• Attention to detail: you care not only if it works but if it’s going to work in the future.
• Like to work remotely.

Nice to have

If you have experience with any of the following skills it will be a plus for you. If not we understand you are fast learner and you will catch up fast anyway:

• WordPress plugin or theme development experience.
• UX and design skills.
