Job Description
SENIOR FULL STACK DEVELOPER
A comprehensive understanding of what it takes to write secure and performant code
Overview
Full Stack developers build the core experience and UI of Freemius’ products, services and dashboards for superior user experience.
Freemius is a SaaS startup that helps plugin & theme developers around the globe run their business and accept payments, manage subscriptions & software licensing, get user-data, offer trials and (much) more.
Join our growing distributed team and make an impact on millions of users. We are passionate about the open-source community and about helping developers around the world build prosperous, subscription-based businesses while working on things they love!
We’re looking for an exceptional remote full-stack developer who can work during European timezone hours to join Freemius’ development team. If you love coding, are fluent in frontend development and API-driven web apps, and aspire to create an amazing user experience, we want to hear from you!
In addition to being highly intelligent and autonomous, with expertise in JS/HTML/CSS/PHP, you also need to be an excellent team player 🏀, of course.
The job opportunity is unique since we are still a relatively small team with a large customer base, so there’s a lot of room to grow.
Ownership, Not Just Accountability
If you see yourself working just as a means to get a salary, we totally respect that, but it’s not the type of mentality we seek. On the other hand, if your spouse/friends keep telling you that you have to stop caring so much about your work and your answer is “this project is my baby” that’s the exact sense of ownership we are looking for.
Responsibilities
- You will work at the development team for our eCommerce platform used by thousands of plugin and theme developers, and millions of WordPress admins on a monthly basis.
- Your tasks will range from bug fixing to designing and implementing new features, with both requiring that new and modified code is well-documented, thoroughly tested, and of top-notch quality.
- In addition, you will conduct ongoing code reviews for other developers on our team (we all do it, and it makes us all better devs), interact with our support team to help troubleshooting & resolving customer issues, and communicate with other team members for knowledge sharing and product work.
Qualification
- Excellent verbal and written English
- A comprehensive understanding of what it takes to write secure and performant code
- Easy to communicate with – you’re good at expressing your thoughts in writing
- Excellent understanding of OOP.

- Organized and methodological
- Strong background in efficient & scalable database usage with MySQL (you need to understand indexes)
- Comfortable working remotely during European timezone hours (9-6 GMT+2)
- Hard worker and passionate – we are a startup
- A quick learner
- [Bonus] You already use Freemius in one of your plugins/themes
- 3+ years experience working with PHP
- 7+ years experience as Full-Stack / Frontend developer. [Bonus] AngularJS experience
Benefits
- Work from anywhere, as long as you have your computer, a strong internet connection and can be productive
- Work in a flat organization where your voice is always heard
- Opportunities for paid travel to attend WordCamps and other industry conferences
- Job horizon – we are looking for a long term engagement and would love to see you become a team lead or a knowledge source (based on your preferences and skills)
- The Application Process
- Video interview with the CTO
- Technical screening task
- 2-3 Technical Interviews
- Reference check
- A 3-month paid trial period, which will give us both the chance to see what it’s like to work together
