SUMMARY
We are looking for a smart, experienced, and motivated Senior PHP Developer to join our Columbus team.
The Senior PHP Developer is responsible for managing internet-based services and the interchange of data between the server and website visitors. The PHP Developer will be responsible for server-side logic, definition and maintenance of centralized databases, and ensuring high performance and responsiveness to requests from the front-end. The developer will also be responsible for developing front-end elements designed by Fahlgren Mortine’s digital designers. Therefore, a strong understanding of front-end technologies is necessary as well.
This is a hybrid work from home / office position (in-office attendance is required on Tuesdays & Thursdays) and the candidate must live near Columbus, OH.
At The Shipyard, we know that it's your unique talents, backgrounds, and perspectives that make you who you are, just like our team, who come from various career paths and experiences. We believe we can't be truly diverse without bringing your most authentic self to the agency.
Studies show that people from marginalized communities may not always apply for positions if they don't meet every single requirement in a job posting. At The Shipyard, we encourage you to apply even if you don't meet all the requirements. We believe that your passion for what we stand for — our values and purpose — is just as important as meeting every checkbox.
