Junior Developer in SiteHost

We’re SiteHost, a great New Zealand web hosting company with a reputation for amazing service and clever ways of helping our customers out. We’re looking for a junior developer to join our Operations team as a remote team member.

We’ve been in the hosting business since 2004, so we know what it takes to run great infrastructure, and to launch successful careers.

Even though this is a remote role, you’ll be closely involved with your teammates. We’re an agile company with members around the world. We make good use of collaboration tools and techniques for remote working. We’re always communicating with each other and working together as we solve problems.

We have a wonderful team that knows how to ship while being relaxed and friendly. You’ll get to work across a variety of projects, infrastructure and languages – also known as full-stack. You’ll work with talented developers on new and existing products that keep our customers happy. As well as that, you’ll also work on internal tools to help our Operations team be as productive as possible. You'll report to the head of our larger team while being part of small sprint-based project teams.

There’s always something new to learn while you work and we’re serious about helping you grow, so don’t worry if you don’t have all of the optional skills below. We know what it takes to turn talent into tech industry success - in fact, that’s what we’ve been doing since 2004. Because we’re not a hyperscale behemoth you’ll have access to senior leaders and you’ll learn from some of the sharpest minds in the business.

We’d expect you to be able to tick some of these boxes:

• You have experience building and consuming API’s.
• You have worked with PHP, Python, Go or something similar.
• You strive to write clean and maintainable code.
• Bring fantastic written and verbal communication skills, so you can clearly articulate complex issues and work effectively with remote team members.

Perhaps more important than any technical skills, you’ll need to be a great addition to our team. If you’re friendly and considerate, we’re keen to meet you. If you’re ready to take ownership of your work, help the people around you, and make SiteHost a better place to work by being here, then you might be the person we’re looking for.

There are some other things that would be useful, like:

• An eye for spotting potential UI/UX problems
• Experience with cloud services and LAMP stacks
• Familiarity with Linux and operating platforms used in servers
• An understanding of how hosting works, including domains and DNS.

You can expect excellent remuneration. We’re serious about making your work rewarding, and helping you get better at what you enjoy doing. Because we want SiteHost people to commit for the long term, keeping you happy is vital to both our success and yours.
