You will be working remotely as part of a globally distributed team. This takes a high level of motivation and the ability to self manage. You will also be communicating with clients directly. This requires excellent written and verbal English communication skills and the ability to communicate professionally with both technical and non-technical people.

About the company
Endzone.io is a completely distributed company. We have no office. We are a small team of specialist web developers. We are driven by the ideal that our work should be valuable both financially and in a broader sense, for us and those we have the honour of working with AND that this can be done while living a well rounded, rewarding life.
Required Skills
- are passionate about web development and developing your own skills
- are willing to be measured by your output and the value you bring, not the hours you log
- are outstanding at communicating both verbally and in written English
- are detail oriented and excellent at self management
- really, honestly care about quality of your work
- understand how important good, disciplined process is; in software development as well as communication and project management
We are more interested in your interest in web development & your ability to learn, solve problems and professional approach to coding. However, you do need to have a good working knowledge in C# ASP.Net MVC and all the attending alphabet soup (including HTML/CSS and JS).
Experience of Umbraco CMS is a huge advantage, but is not required if you have the ability to learn quickly.
Company Values
Location & Hours
You can work from anywhere. You do not even have to stay in one location (some of our team travel a lot!). We are more interested in results than micro-managing which means there is some flexibility in your exact working hours. We also get together with the full team once or twice a year (for example in SE Asia).
Unlimited holidays
We really mean this, it’s not just a throw-away phrase nor does it mean taking less holidays. You must take at least one continuous 2 week break annually and, so long as the work gets done, as much other time as you can.
Growth & Learning
You we be supported by experienced developers and we provide Umbraco certification (after your first 2 months). We are a small, dynamic team looking to grow – the right person could become an integral part of that future!
Team
We are an eclectic group and want to work with people who bring enthusiasm and energy, have values they care about and are able to be both professional and fun. If that describes you, then please get in touch!
