PLEASE NOTE: This position is completely home based.
Everest Media is a young, ambitious and fast-growing consultancy. We specialise in web development and content management outsourcing, and are looking for our first directly employed developer to replace a contractor. You will join the CTO and have the opportunity to shape our working practices, tool choices and as we keep growing you will play a pivotal role in expanding the team.
Our ideal candidate is a great coder, with sound technical knowledge and a bit of flair, able to spot the things other developers miss - think about the performance implications, foresee potential data issues, think ahead to security vulnerabilities, and so on. Ideally you will have experience working with high traffic sites (our largest client has almost 100 million page views per month) and some experience of websites supported by online advertising.
Initially the job will involve taking over the management of one client, and getting to know their codebase, how they operate, the architecture and some domain knowledge. You will then help bring the code base up to date, and have the opportunity to put your stamp on the design and architecture of some parts of the system. In time, we hope you will completely own the project and be able to develop it further.
We also have some brand-new projects in the pipeline, which you will get chance to contribute to from an early stage.
All our staff work remotely, so location is not an issue as long as you live within the UK. You will have the freedom to manage your own time, and we have no issue with you working from just about anywhere in the world if you choose to.
