Web Developer

About the role

Power is looking for a developer with 3-5 years of experience with WordPress/PHP to join our Business Technology team at our headquarters, just outside of Philadelphia, PA. While the majority of your time will be spent designing, building, and maintaining our WordPress-based marketing and brand websites, you’ll also have the opportunity to contribute to our core platform, Nitro, built on Ruby on Rails and React.

We are reinventing the home remodeling industry and need a team of top-notch designers and developers to help us build out our technology platform and strengthen our brand. At Power, you will work on challenging technology problems and design lasting, sustainable, and positive solutions. You will be part of a cross-functional Scrum team, collaborating with application architects, UX designers, and other talented developers. You’ll be empowered to make decisions and enjoy great latitude in choosing the right tools and methods for the job.

As an experienced WordPress developer, you will bring your knowledge of the latest industry trends to help us build and deliver highly visible websites. We value diversity and actively seek people with different perspectives and experiences.

What we do

At Power, our technology team builds a custom suite of products that run our entire business. We create and deploy complete solutions for marketing, sales, operations, finance, and more, including a custom communications platform that connects everyone in the company. We use cutting-edge technologies like augmented reality, computer vision, machine learning, speech recognition and processing, geospatial data, and a variety of mobile platforms.

We enjoy the benefits of a startup—moving fast, shipping rapidly, and iterating quickly—within an established, well-funded, and profitable organization. We solve unique, challenging problems that could stand alone as apps or companies. Power has been recognized as one of Computerworld’s Best Places to Work in IT, Fortune Magazine’s #1 Workplace for Millennials, Glassdoor’s Best Places to Work, Inc. 5000’s Fastest Growing Private Companies, and Philadelphia Magazine’s Coolest Companies.
