  • Our Web Developers will be working under our Project Management team and are responsible for ensuring that all deliverables meet or exceed company baseline standards of performance and quality. Web Developers are expected to be problem solvers, with the ability to evaluate several options in order to pick the solution that provides a best fit between clients requirements and the project budget and timeline. Web Developers are able to debug and/or modify existing PHP and Javascript. They are highly consultative and help Project Managers and clients make sound decisions on the right path forward. Ultimately, they opt for configuration versus custom solutions, which allow the customer to get the largest ROI from open source software.

    About Us

    We're located in beautiful and sunny downtown Denver, Colorado—one of technology’s new hotspots in the United States. Denver is a quality-of-life destination: People strive to live here for the myriad ways they may pursue a healthy lifestyle, which includes abundant outdoor activities (we average 300 sunny days a year). Denver also boasts great housing options, low unemployment, and decent commute times.

    newmedia is notable for its over 20-year track record of providing full-service website design and development that is smart, user-friendly, and cutting-edge. We are a leader in a competitive industry with two start-ups—RiotLabs and DRUD—integrated within our mother company. Our work environment is friendly but hard working; we have the stability of our longtime successes with a fun, start-up vibe. What makes newmedia special is its PEOPLE. 

    We strive for and earn a significant portion of the $23 billion-a-year market for our services and we attract significant interest from both new clients and investors. We are growing and as much as we have accomplished, it's a drop in the bucket compared to what we have planned. To get there—and to continue our pace of success and growth—we need to have the best and the smartest designers, developers and program managers joining our team. Ping pong skills are optional but highly recommended; on-the-job training is available.
