WordPress Developer

This is not an entry-level position; someone with a minimum of 1-2 years experience is required.

MintTwist is a creative digital agency based in Old Street, central London. The agency takes on web design and development builds from clients based in London and across the globe. Increasing numbers and expanding scopes of new projects means that we have an opportunity for a new full-stack developer to join the technology team.

The position involves working very closely with a team comprising of designers, front-end developers, PHP developers as well as account and project managers. You will be involved with a wide range of projects, joining meetings, working to planned sprint schedules and being given responsibility on projects. Attention to detail is important, as well as strong communication skills to work well with the team and with clients.

Key responsibilities:

• Technical Expertise: Developing mobile-ready and backwards-compatible websites
• Communication: Work with our designers, developers and clients to bring clients visions to reality
• Responsibility: Work with our project managers to plan ahead, set deadlines and deliver on time
• Passion: A general interest in web technologies should allow you to input into discussions in future development opportunities and assist with project planning when needed

These things are the minimum:

• 1-2 years experience
• Comfortable with PHP7
• Knowledge of Laravel 5/6+
• Familiarity with WordPress
• Experience using Composer
• Using GIT to review and deploy

These things are great to have, too:

• API development
• Experience working with and deploying to AWS services
• Server side administration (SSH, NGINX, Apache, Linux)
• Building and using unit tests
• JavaScript experience (Vue.js, Nuxt.js, React, etc.)
• Website performance optimisation experience
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Efficient time management

This is a great opportunity to work with a London-based agency and take ownership on large projects from various industries around the world. The fast-paced nature of our work accommodates and nurtures even the most ambitious personal growth goals. While we require a certain level of experience, we value passion and interest above all else.
