A new year and a new job opportunity at walkit.com – the multi-award-winning urban walking route planner. Come and help us capitalise on opportunities to build a stronger, more popular and richer service, and get Britain walking more!

Web developer

You’ll need to be a good problem solver, with a solid coding background. You should have a pragmatic approach to software development, with an eye for clean, usable, standards-compliant, cross-browser web design.

More specifically you will need to be:

• expert in PHP and MYSQL
• able to transform any graphic design into valid and clean XHTML and CSS
• well versed in WordPress development, including plugin and theme development
• able to code javascript to a good standard (at least 2 years experience), with a good familiarity of jQuery
• very familiar with and confident working in the Unix shell, and have experience working with command line tools
• familiar with the use of source control systems, such as SVN

Experience of working on sites that integrate advertising (using tools such as OpenX) would be an advantage, as would knowledge of SEO and e-commerce tools.

Location

The job will be based at walkit.com’s new Birmingham office in rhubarb, though we will consider the possibility of remote working (in which case you should be able to come to the office at least once a week).

Terms

Full time, although part-time will be considered for more experienced candidates.

Salary

To be discussed with candidates based on their experience.

Deadline

Friday 12 February
