This Is Who We Are.

Our core values are the foundation of our company. They described how we operate on a day-to-day basis and are the guiding principles that help determine the success of A2 Hosting. Our core values help us maintain a growth mindset so we can seize opportunities to learn and improve every day. On our best days, this is who we want to be.

Curious

We have an unending desire to learn. We’re always asking what’s next and why so we can dig deeper and strive to do better. We look for new and better ways to innovate and accomplish our goals. We have the drive to dig in and understand any problems we face. Our industry is fast-moving so we are always evolving with new technology and innovations. We take the initiative to keep learning more as we continue to grow.

Passionate

We take pride in what we do. The status quo isn’t good enough and we’re always striving to do better. We show up to work enthusiastic, energized, and committed to the work. We feed off the positive energy and constant improvement of our colleagues which allows us to thrive on the clock. When we’re off the clock we seek to find and maintain a balance between our personal and professional lives.

Customer Focused

We always strive to be empathetic and respectful of our customers. We try to put ourselves in their shoes and treat them how we want to be treated. Through training and education, we make sure we have the technical ability to help them in the right way so we can be the subject matter experts and advisors that help our customers solve their problems. If we can’t solve the problem, we always try to educate and point them to someone/something that can. Our customers are our reason for success and their success is our utmost priority. We are very grateful to build relationships with them daily.

Collaborative

We are a team of teams. We think about the team first and we’re always evaluating how our decisions impact the organization as a whole rather than just ourselves or our departments. We are truthful and always open to constructive feedback. We plan meetings to discuss and coordinate our goals and to share what we know and are learning to help everyone improve. We think group brainstorming and innovation lead to better, more informed decisions.

Agile

We’re nimble, able to move quickly and easily, and always willing to make changes when it’s obvious those changes need to be made. We are goal-oriented and well planned as we create requirements and move strategically to achieve overall results. By working in small increments we are able to reach our larger goal faster and more efficiently with little time wasted.  We are good adaptors and are always flexible and ready with a backup plan when we need it.

Senior Laravel and WordPress Developer – Linux

A2 Hosting is currently hiring for a Senior Software Developer with 5+ years of Laravel and WordPress experience to join our growing team! This is NOT a theme development role and candidates without extensive experience building production quality web applications with both WordPress and Laravel in a Linux environment will not be considered.

For this role, we are looking for someone with a strong DevOps/systems background, who also possesses a deep understanding of the WordPress plugin ecosystem, WordPress hooks and WP-CLI, and modern Javascript frameworks.

Candidates must have at least 5 years of professional experience building applications based on WordPress/WP-CLI/Laravel/Vue AND have a strong DevOps background to be considered for this role. If you are used to setting up and maintaining your own Linux servers, and you are a WordPress/Laravel expert, you can be successful in this role.

In this Senior Software Developer role, you will be responsible for building and troubleshooting web applications surrounding our custom control panel, TurboHub.

Job Specific Details

• This is a full time, fully remote position
• Schedule follows a Monday-Friday, 9a-5p Eastern Time schedule
• This position is currently only open to candidates in North/South America

Project Overview

Our team is deep in development on a custom control panel application, TurboHub, which is
used by our customers to manage their WordPress sites. The front end of the control panel application is built with the Laravel PHP framework with Vue for parts of its UI and uses a Bootstrap based theme. The control panel also includes a server component that runs on our Linux hosting platforms, so this project requires strong Linux systems administration knowledge in order to build and troubleshoot its features.

When a user interacts with the TurboHub control panel, we broadcast messages to our hosting servers over RabbitMQ to a custom agent process that runs various commands on a WordPress site. The output of those commands is used to display information or make changes to a customer’s WordPress sites. The TurboHub agent application is a command line based Laravel application that includes a variety of custom scripts using WP-CLI and other command line tools.

The control panel application integrates tightly with WordPress via WP-CLI and custom plugins. In addition to our message queue, TurboHub also communicates with a number of HTTP APIs to interact with our hosting platforms and out internal billing system, with some information being stored in a local MySQL database as well.

A typical feature deployment might involve you working on backend scripts to interact with WordPress, working in our TurboHub agent application to run those scripts, and updating our TurboHub web
application to surface the feature to users.

What you’ll do

• Collaborate with the Software Development and Product teams to scope, build, and maintain features in our TurboHub application (see project overview)
• Participate in escalated troubleshooting in a 24/7 environment, including on-call rotation
• Create and update thorough documentation of deployed systems, troubleshooting processes, infrastructure design, etc.
• Provide guidance and consultation on internal projects and company priorities

Skills you must have:

• 5+ years developing production quality web applications using WordPress/WP-CLI, Laravel, and Vue/React in a business setting

  • High DevoOps proficiency in building, maintaining, and troubleshooting WordPress and Laravel web applications in a Linux/command line environment
• Ability to read, write, and speak effectively in English through ALL utilized channels (email, direct messaging, and video conferencing) to communicate with members at all levels of the organization
• Experience with front-end frameworks such as Vue or React
• Experience working with message queues (eg: Laravel Queues, RabbitMQ, ActiveJob).
• Experience with unit testing and testing methodologies such as test-driven development, behavior-driven development, etc.
• Ability to QA your work and an eye for applying the fit and finish of our Product team’s designs during implementation
• Experience profiling and benchmarking web and CLI applications
• Experience working in a fully remote and globally distributed team a plus
• Experience in a Hosting or similar Technology company is a plus
