Hi! We're Photojojo, and we're on a mission to make photography more fun for everyone.

We're looking for a full-time Senior Web Developer in San Francisco, CA to join the cause and lead our dev team. (Rad candidates outside San Francisco also considered.)

About us

We run the most fun online shop you've seen, wrote a book for Random House (5 stars on Amazon :D), have a not-so-small army of adoring fans, and we've been in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Wired, on The CBS Early Show and lots more.

We're a (small) company with big dreams and big heart. We're five years old, we're profitable (whoa!), growing, and have a unique model that combines publishing and ecommerce.

We believe in hard work, and we believe work should be fun. (This year we took the company to India for 3 weeks!)

We're building to last and our customers love us.

What you'll be doing

You'll be working on our homegrown e-commerce platform, running the gamut from code to support business functions (warehouse integration, inventory prediction algorithms, etc.) to slick front-end floursishes (go here, click the lever).

In addition to writing code, you'll promote best practices and help define our product.

Most of all, we want you to make our baby your baby; not in the child adoption sense, but in the you-love-this-stuff-as-much-as-we-do-and-can't-not-think-about-it sense.

*NEW!* We're working on a sister brand to Photojojo called Material. You'll get to contribute to both.

About you

You're entrepreneurial, eager to make things happen, and want to play a large role in our company's future. Great ideas and strong opinions welcome!

You've got at least 2-5 years of experience building for the web, but you still stay awake thinking about this stuff just like you did when you started.

You're not afraid to make mistakes, and people really really like working with you.

You must...

• Know PHP / MySQL / MVC
  (Most of our codebase is in PHP, but we're open to new languages)
• Have 2-5 years of web development experience
• Be comfortable with HTML, CSS, and Javascript/jQuery
• Experience with unit testing
• Know when to make it good enough, when to make it great, and when to make it perfect
• Love photography and Photojojo

Nice to have...

• Interest in NoSQL/Python/Scala/etc. and new tech
• Experience with user or A/B testing
• E-commerce development experience
• Deep and abiding love for data and analysis
• Basic Linux sysadmin experience

Where

We're located in the Mission District in San Francisco, but we'll consider exceptional candidates working remotely. We have lots of sit-stand desks, Apple gear, big monitors, roof access, fruit delivery, and our office is bike-friendly and homey. (Also dinosaur-friendly.)

How to Apply

Write us and tell us all about yourself!

We'd love to hear about:

• Projects you've worked on and what you did on each.
• Fantastic problems you've solved.
• Why this is your ideal job and why we must hire you.
• What features/products you think we should build.
• What we should have asked, but didn't.

Send it here: seniordev-app@photojojo.com

If you sound like a good fit, we'll be in touch lickity-split!

p.s. Apply soon. We're eager to meet you! :)

Do you...

• Thrive on responsibility and freedom?
• Live to make well-crafted things?
• Write with crystalline clarity?
• Delight in solving problems?
• Get shit done?
• Have so much follow-through it's borderline stalkerish?

Why this is rad!

• You'll have real responsibility and freedom to architect code and implement your ideas.
• Our work has been featured in FOWA keynotes and 37 Signals' blog. People will see what you build.
• You'll work with our founder, who has a technical background.
• You'll work with and learn about all areas of our company.
• We believe in getting stuff done, not in facetime. We support work-from-home and an open vacation policy.
• We hire carefully. You're gonna love your coworkers.
