[Hiring] Senior Front-end developer (PHP and JS) @Moodle

Moodle with us!

We're the world's most popular learning platform, and we’re on a mission to empower educators to improve our world.

And Moodle Workplace is a relatively young, fast-growing competitor in the burgeoning workplace learning sector.

We are looking for an exceptional Front-end developer to join the Moodle Workplace team. If you are that person, and enjoy learning, while having fun together as we advance our mission, read on!

What your new team and job look like…

At Moodle, we’re a small but mighty group of passionate people, based in several different countries around the world. We’re united by our dedication to enable best-practice online learning, whether within education institutions or workplaces, and we are looking for someone who is aligned to our values and goals

As a Front-end developer at Moodle, you’ll contribute to making Moodle Workplace the world’s most effective platform to train and engage diverse teams of learners. You’ll play an essential role in our product development team turning our UX team’s prototypes into great interfaces, and be part of a much bigger international community of contributing developers and Moodle Partners.

You will not only work very closely with the UX team, but also will team with a team of very talented developers working together to make Moodle Workplace the best LMS in the world.

At Moodle, no 2 days will ever be the same, but most days in this role usually involve a mix of:

• Writing high-quality code.
• Designing and documenting the implementation of new features.
• Reviewing code.
• Writing automated tests.
• Collaborating with other developers across multiple dev teams.
• Contributing to product decisions.

...and laughing with your team...

This role can be based anywhere in the Europe Region! In Spain as a permanent employee, or anywhere else in the rest of Europe as a contractor. Just let us know where you are when you apply.

Requirements

We'd love to meet you…

Especially if you can talk to us about your:

• Excellent knowledge of PHP
• Bonus if you also have high level Software Engineer experience working with:
• Extensive experience as a Front-end developer in PHP:
  • Working with SQL, HTML, Javascript, ES6, SCSS and Bootstrap
  • Developing performant and accessible user interfaces
• Experience using Git and Jira
• Programming experience in a medium to large scale development environment (PHP)
• Experience with automated testing (we use PHPUnit and Behat)
• Good knowledge of web application security, performance and scalability.
• Experience working with Web Services and RESTful applications.

 

Some other things that are important to us:

• You have experience working with other LMS
• You are fluent in English
• You communicate well in writing. Not only because we work asynchronously, but also because you will have to write documentation and guides and the occasional blog post.
• Ideally, you are located somewhere in Europe, or at least, not too many time zones away. This is important for this position since our team operates between the CET and GMT timezones.
• Ability to organize your workload to meet deadlines.
• Be a fun and friendly person who likes the sound of a very social team
• Be a creative person who looks forward to joining a team with high standards

 

And you will go straight to the pole position if you:

• Already work with Moodle
• Know how Moodle works
• Have contributed to the Moodle project somehow
