Automattic is looking for engineers to help build and improve its product ecosystem, which includes WordPress.com, WooCommerce, Tumblr, and other products, with the goal of making the web a better place by democratizing publishing, commerce, and messaging.
Requirements
- You have production experience with several programming languages, frameworks, and paradigms. We mostly use PHP and JavaScript at Automattic, we expect you to be comfortable with the idea of becoming an expert in these languages, even if being one isn't a requirement to apply.
- You have experience working at scale – it can be on the backend and performance side, or via the complexity of interacting with a multi-million diverse userbase.
Responsibilities
- AI is at the heart of many new product developments and powers a lot of our day-to-day development workflows.
- We're working tirelessly on giving you all the control, while keeping the platform fast and stable.
- Gutenberg is a new block-level editor for WordPress with clean abstractions for users, too, not just developers.
- Tumblr is a microblogging social network where users create, share, and follow what they love.
- We ship often, deploying many times daily with the help of peer code review, continuous integration, and our global workforce in over 70 countries.
Other
- We’re always looking for talented and experienced engineers worldwide, excited to help Automattic’s product ecosystem, and join our mission to make the web a better place.
- We’re kind to each other and our users – we build a positive, supportive, and inclusive culture of cohesive teams focused on building useful products for our customers.
- We work as a global and distributed workforce resulting in a unique way of working built around our creed.
- You care and often obsess over the quality and the details of your work.
- Debugging any problem is a fun challenge and not a chore.
- Are open and able to travel 3-4 weeks per year to meet up with your teammates in person.
