BetterWorks is Hiring a PHP Software Engineer in Los Angeles

Enterprise Software sucks and we are looking for engineers to help us Fix it. We want to make enterprise software as beautiful and usable as an Apple product, and you can help us reinvent it.

A well funded startup is looking for a software engineer to join our pool of A+ talent and help reinvent the enterprise web by creating a beautiful, modular, scalable perks platform. We want to make a seamless user experience that handles and manages the logistics, fulfillment, and all the accounting/billing with just a click of a button. Just imagine how hard it is to call, schedule, and pay for a local dry cleaning service. With our platform, it becomes as simple as a click of a button. We want to create a managed ecommerce experience and we’re extremely focused on the user experience.

POSITION DESCRIPTION: Your job will be to create scalable/modular code of a product that people will absolutely love. As part of our engineering team, you will be given the autonomy to excel, with the support of a stellar product team and peer group that is relentlessly focused on the end-user. You’ll work at the application level and you should love tweaking the UI as much you like creating back-end code. We are full stack developers and you’ll own your feature end to end. You should be able to make big contributions to a complex web-based application. The ideal candidate would have created web frameworks and large scale web applications from scratch. You should be able to tackle JavaScript, optimize the back-end for scalability, and jump into system administration tasks if needed. You should be very good at getting things done outside of your comfort zone.

If the challenge of supporting 6 Million small and medium businesses and 70 Million employees sounds fun (and you meet the requirements below), please hit us up.

Please apply here.
