Job Opening:
Full-Stack Web Developer
Job Description
Camna LLC is a web development firm based out of Virginia. Our small team of experienced developers all work from home throughout the United States (and Scotland!). Our skills include both front-end and back-end development, and our projects range from building and/or supporting WordPress websites to full-scale app development. Similarly, our clients range from solopreneurs and small businesses to international companies with thousands of employees.
We are currently looking to add a senior level (or motivated mid-level) full-stack web developer to our team. We need an individual who is self-motivated and disciplined and who thrives in a work-from-home environment, while also staying connected to and collaborating with an online team. The ideal candidate is comfortable with a wide variety of work — building, supporting, and troubleshooting WordPress websites (including basic sites that use pre-built themes, sites constructed using more advanced builders such as Divi, Beaver, or Elementor, and sites that are fully custom, relying on hand-written themes and plugins), occasionally supporting other CMS platforms (ExpressionEngine, Craft, etc.), as well as contributing as-needed to larger custom development projects built using PHP/MySQL (with the potential for some Node.js, React, or Vue projects in the future).
Of equal importance, our team puts a very strong emphasis on stellar client relations, including fast response times and clear, concise written and verbal communication. We strive to put our clients first and go the extra mile, and we are looking for candidates who will do the same.
