Full Stack Developer
Company Overview
Spry Digital blends innovative web, application, and marketing solutions that transform businesses from the inside out. We believe we can shape our world, making it a better place to work and play with the connections that we make. Those connections happen with the relationships that we foster and the products that we create that connect people to one another. It is this people-first approach to doing business and creating solutions that drives us.
We value people who care about quality and attention to detail, work collaboratively together as a team, and strive to build solutions to meet our clients' needs and business objectives. Read our core values.
Job Summary
We have an immediate opening for a smart, motivated individual with solid professional experience building customer-facing websites and web applications. We use a variety of Content Management Systems (primarily Drupal and WordPress) and JavaScript tools and frameworks including Next.js, React, Express, Vue.js, and Gatsby. The sites we build are designed and implemented to be secure, scalable, and highly available, and are deployed in a variety of cloud environments, including Digital Ocean, Google Cloud, and AWS. Our day-to-day work is a healthy mix of new development along with ongoing maintenance and support of existing production applications. While we each have our particular strengths, everyone on the team works the "full stack" from web services to CSS.
Our interview process doesn't include a coding test or gotcha questions about prototypical inheritance and JavaScript closures. If you're right for this position you have developed an intuition about how to develop for the web and rarely get hung up in language intricacies. You understand algorithms and are a logical thinker who makes expert, informed judgments as to when it's time to bang out code when to go looking for a contributed module, and when (and when not) to search for a solution on Stack Exchange. You strive to write clear, readable, and maintainable code at all times and steer away from unnecessary complexity and abstraction.
NOTE: We are interested in every qualified candidate who is eligible to work in the United States for any employer, however, we are not able to sponsor visas at this time.
