Type of Position: Part Time (Full Time within 60 days)
Work Time Zone: Flexible, we’re on Pacific Standard Time (PDT) and we just need a developer who is easy to communicate with and delivers adequate designs on time.
Daily Reporting and Accountability: We don’t currently require any reporting of time or work completed outside of normal communications day to day. If deadlines aren’t met or their schedule is difficult for us then we’ll reevaluate this. We will provide a time tracking tool as well so they can track their time as they go. If the employee completes all of their work for the day or week prior to the end of the eight hour work day or five day work week, we encourage them to take the rest of the day or week off to enjoy the sunshine. We value productivity over time, so we don’t expect them to sit around the office if they have nothing to do anyway.
Proposed Compensation:
Daily Work Description:
• Each day the employee should sign into ThePortlandCompany.com and select “Propel” to review the list of projects that have tasks assigned to them.
o From there they can comment, back and forth, on the task to ask questions and provide updates until the task is completed. At which point they can check it off.
• About half of the work will be building custom WordPress plugins for our clients needs.
• The rest of the work will be spent further developing proprietary WordPress plugins that we use for internal purposes.
• If the employee demonstrates consistent competence with these items we can discuss other types of projects and respective pay.
Other Notes
• This developer’s strength should be AJAX techniques using JavaScript.
o Presumably they should be extremely familiar with jQuery.
• The developer should have at least three examples of projects where they used AJAX to improve an application.
o For example, a commenting tool that posts comments without refreshing a page.
• Ideally, we want this person to have senior level skills with PHP as well. Particularly writing WordPress plugins, however we’ll be willing to train on WordPress if the candidate has strong JavaScript and PHP skills.
