  • Contribute to the improvement of the Engineering discipline by advancing internal initiatives, engaging on Engineering Leadership discussions, and leading and mentoring other fellow engineers in the context of your projects
  • Support sales team by attending digital and in person onsites, and assisting with the development of sales estimates   
  • Ultimately you will make the web better by finely crafting websites, apps, and tools that reach millions of online visitors every day

About you:

  • You have a minimum 2 years in a Lead Engineer, or Engineering Leadership, role
  • Your expert skills in React Architecture and WordPress engineering with PHP, React.js, and Gutenberg consistently follow best practices and set the highest standards of excellence

  • You prefer to work fully remote and are effectively engaging in a distributed team from the location of your choosing

Benefits of interest:

  • Multiple paid time off programs, including PTO, parental leave, bereavement leave, and company holidays – including an all-company break from Christmas Eve to New Years Day
  • Health, dental, and life insurance programs (available for United States and UK team members)
  • Retirement contribution programs (currently available in the U.S. and U.K.)
  • Flexible and alternate schedule programs - including options for 4-day work week (Monday-Thursday) configurations

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
