How we do WordPress:
We know the stigma around WordPress, but we think it can be a good platform that is fun to develop for. Here are some of the tools we currently use:
- [Timber](http://upstatement.com/timber/) for writing templates that don't have any PHP in them
- [Composer](https://getcomposer.org) for dependency management of the WordPress core and plugins
- A minimal set of the best plugins: Advanced Custom Fields, Gravity Forms, WP Super Cache, WP Migrate DB Pro
- Styles with SCSS, asset hosting on S3, sending email with SendGrid
- All wrapped up in git, of course
It'd be great if you had experience with some or all of these, but if not we can help you get up to speed.
The perks:
- Downtown Denver office location
- 100% healthcare and dental
- Take The Vacation Time You Need, Work From Home policies
- Phone plan or stipend
- MacBook Pro
- Opportunity to attend industry events and conferences
- Grow your skills with a great team
