WHO WE ARE

At American Meadows, we like to say that we Do Good Through Gardening. Our primary focus is to be great at providing home gardeners with the products and knowledge and website experience they need to succeed. We work to accomplish this by combining top-quality products, a staff that’s passionate about what we do, the latest in technology and proven direct-to-consumer methods. If that sounds intriguing, read on...

OUR CHALLENGE

Gardeners work very hard for results that often do not arrive for months or even years. We want to inspire, educate and inform our customers while also closing the sale. We are always looking for ways to create an exceptional user experience on our websites, and need your expertise to make this happen. We have an aggressive development schedule, with some very engaging projects planned for both AmericanMeadows.com and HighCountryGardens.com

You would be the 4th member of our web development team, helping build the cutting edge Magento ecommerce websites that fuel our business. You would primarily be working on PHP, HTML & JavaScript development alongside our front-end developer and software engineer. We are a focused, agile development team who are dedicated to building great websites, writing great code, and adhering to process best practices (scrum, documentation, etc.). We aggressively test our websites, and are data driven (A/B testing, Analytics, live user testing, etc.) in our decision making process.
This is an in-house salaried position. We are not considering contractors or remote candidates.




Qualifications:

• Expertise in dynamic web page development using PHP and relational databases
• Expertise in cross-browser compatible, standards compliant, table-less websites in semantic XHTML, CSS3 & unobtrusive JavaScript
• Ability to gather and document requirements, and develop functional specifications
• A strong, creative, problem solver, self-motivated and tenacious when tackling tough issues
• A team player with energy and enthusiasm, and a high tolerance for change and ambiguity
• Excellent communicator with an interest in continuous improvement of self and the organization
• Full life cycle web development (ideation to post launch support)
• Solid understanding of ecommerce architecture, connectivity technologies, web hosting, advanced network protocols, client-server technologies, applications development and multi-vendor environments
• Experience writing and/or interpreting technical specifications and implementing them to specification while potentially adapting to variance in scope
• Willingness to ‘do what it takes’ to contribute to the success of a small, growing business
• We’re gardeners – you should be willing to play in the dirt too!


Comments:

The position will offer a salary commensurate with experience and an excellent benefits package. If you or someone you know is interested, step 1 is easy: give us a quick summary of a challenging development project, and why you were proud of your contribution. Don’t go overboard – This isn’t a writing exercise, rather a chance to get a sense for how you go about your craft. You also should submit a resume, target salary and links of example websites and/or code samples to jobs@americanmeadows.com
