Description
Tired of conveyor-belt work? Sick of silos? Hate hierarchy? Foosball lost it's lustre?
Want to work on a team that does impactful work for clients making the world a better place? How does working with a small, competent, and collaborative multidisciplinary team sound? What about a place that prioritizes lifestyle instead of fetishizing workstyle?
If you’d like to design + build bespoke communications and experiences in these conditions, this might be the web application development role you’ve been looking for.
The role specifically involves:
- Contributing to projects using Vue(Nuxt), JavaScript + PHP, Git.
- Familiarity with WordPress and WP API.
- Familiarity with other Headless CMSs like Strapi.
- Familiarity with e-commerce platforms (e.g., Woo, Shopify, Ecwid, etc.)
- Comfort creating, manipulating and querying MySQL databases.
- Applying a UX lens to Dev (Performance, Accessibility, Usability, etc.).
- Contributing to Design + Development processes, workflows, tool-sets.
- Ability to communicate in writing.
The role generally involves:
- Appreciating context. Getting your head around clients' needs (not always what they ask for), (social) missions, and the trends that affect them. Learning enough about their problems to recommend strategic solutions.
- Putting people first. A commitment to user-centred communications and experiences. We expect you to learn more about what influences them–behaviour, usability, and shifts that might intersect our work.
- Growing better clients (if we don’t teach them, who will?). Explaining rationales, processes, and technology to clients in writing (documentation, PM software, etc.). And, when necessary, in screen-chats, phone calls, and even in person. It gets easier as you get to know them and gain confidence in our offerings. Don’t worry, we won’t dump you in the deep end.
- Personal development. Growing as a creative + technical problem-solver.
- Accountability. Owning projects and processes–we’re minimal-hierarchy here. We use each other as resources, and better ideas come from everywhere/anywhere.
Remuneration
$55K–$70K/yr Based on:
- Level of experience
- Ability to contribute quickly
- Ability to improve us
Considerations:
- Comprehensive health benefits
- Remote work flexibility
- Schedule and holiday flexibility
You’re a fit if you’re:
- Keen on working with a purpose-driven business (A Founding Canadian B-Corp on a mission to manifest a generative economy).
- Wired for craft.
- A comfortable self-starter and a competent contributor.
- Curious and growth-oriented.
- Gritty enough to face a blank screen or tackle legacy code.
- A good verbal and written communicator.
About Us
We’re different from many places that offer strategic, creative + technical problem-solving for a few reasons.
- Experience. We’ve been at this in some form or another since 1998.
- Social bent. We work for people doing things that we can root for during the day (which helps us sleep well at night).
- Service range. Strategy, Design, Development, Production w/creative + technical chops all in-house.
- Clients. Half our clients are non-profits. Looked at another way, about half of our clients are in the food sector. All of them are making their industries, communities, sectors, or a system, better.
- Flexibility. We’re craft-oriented and students of our practices but we’re not workaholics. And our work benefits from collaboration but we also recognize that people have energy at different times and can prefer to work in other places. Fine.
- Culture. This is last, but it’s the most important. Hypenotic is a small, supportive team of multi-dimensional creative thinkers and doers. We’re of different ages. And from different walks of life. But we’re all life-long learners who teach each other about our interests and crafts.
