About the position

Hi! We're Strategy11. We are the company behind Formidable Forms, WP Tasty, and Business Directory Plugin. No matter what product we're working on, our goal is to make big projects possible without big resources, and make complex tasks simple. Our software is running on over 400,000 websites, and our team is growing fast. We have tons of big plans for the future, and would love for you to be a part of it. As a Lead Developer, you're responsible for running Business Directory Plugin and AWP Classifieds. You will be a solo developer building new features, improving existing code, squashing bugs, and working together with the Leadership, Customer Success and Growth teams. We are looking for energetic and fun people who love to work hard and get things done. Interested? See "How to Apply" below to learn more before applying. To love this role, here's the type of person you are: You're a self-starter who loves taking initiative and seeing things through from conception to completion. You will "own" these products and are responsible for day-to-day prioritizing, scoping, development, and testing. You're an excellent communicator, fluent in both verbal and written English, who makes sure nothing slips through the cracks. We believe communication is critical and there is no such thing as over communicating. You have the curiosity and desire to learn and grow your skills. You are skilled at managing your personal workload, project timelines, and deliverables with a high degree of autonomy, ensuring that development goals are met efficiently. You have expert knowledge to prioritize and balance new features, bugs, and maintenance. You're passionate about leaving your mark on the web for all to see and are excited to work on tasks that impact thousands of users. You take pride in the quality and craftsmanship of your work rather than just doing it to get it done. You're a team player who is comfortable working alongside and helping other team members, and you don't take critical feedback personally. You're happy jumping between front-end and back-end development tasks, or tackling tasks which require both. You're happy working on tasks of all sizes - from small bug fixes and enhancements to large features/rewrites. You enjoy coordinating with other teams, but are perfectly happy working alone.
