About the Role
We are hiring a Contract PHP Website Developer to work on GenerationGenius.com. You will refine and break bodies of work into small and iterative deliverables, guide the team in setting achievable sprint goals, and organize sprints to ensure work is delivered with a high degree of quality and in a timely manner. As a member of the Technology team, you will partner closely with Engineering, Product Management, and Product Design to refine ambiguous goals into clearly defined, iterative work items. We work AI-native; coding agents (Claude Code) are how this team builds, reviews, and operates.
Why You'll Love This Role
- Own the full lifecycle from request to production, including monitoring and stability.
- Shape scope independently and raise issues early, catching risks and design drift.
- Collaborate across lanes, jumping into incidents and teammate PR queues when priorities shift.
- Work in an AI-native environment, using agents daily and pushing the team’s practices forward.
- Drive delivery by actively participating in planning and grooming, and communicating technical trade-offs clearly.
What You'll Be Doing
- Ship full-stack features with measurable product impact.
- Provide substantive code reviews and architectural feedback.
- Serve as a first responder for production issues (within working hours) to triage and implement preventive measures.
- Improve engineering practices, including tooling, agentic workflows, and technical documentation.
- Translate product requirements into a technical approach and communicate the underlying reasoning.
