What you new team and job look like...

As a Full Stack Developer at Moodle, you’ll contribute to making Moodle Workplace the world’s most effective platform for training and engaging diverse teams of learners. You’ll play an essential role in our product development and be part of a much larger international community of contributing developers and Moodle Partners.
You will join a team of talented developers working together to make Moodle Workplace the best LMS in the world.

At Moodle, no two 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 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:

• Tertiary qualifications in Computer Science or equivalent commercial experience
• Excellent knowledge of PHP (bonus if you also have high-level Software Engineering experience)
• Extensive experience as a Full Stack Developer:
• Working with SQL, HTML, JavaScript (ES6), SCSS, and Bootstrap
• Developing performant and accessible user interfaces
• Programming experience in a medium to large-scale development environment (PHP)
• Proven ability to identify, test for, and mitigate the broader impact of changes on the system

• 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 feel comfortable working within remote-first teams
• You have experience working with other LMS platforms or, even better, with Moodle
• You are fluent in English
• You communicate well in writing—not only because we work asynchronously but also because you will work on tickets and interact with users in Jira
• Ideally, you are located 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 time zones.
• Ability to organize your workload to meet deadlines
• Be a fun and friendly person who likes the sound of being part of a very social team
• Be a creative person who looks forward to joining a team with high standards
• Enjoy learning new things and helping others on the team

Extra awesome if you:
