Automattic (WordPress.com, Gravatar, WooCommerce, etc.) | Backend developer | Remote | https://automattic.com/work-with-us/code-wrangler/

I never thought I would work for 10 years with the same company, but here I am :-) Automattic is the nicest group of people (brings 10x personal happiness), almost no bureaucracy (given it’s 600+ people), just common sense on every level.

On to technical things. We’re looking for more backend developers to work both on APIs, but also on user-facing features. Teams are small, a lot of the code is open-source, backend deploys take few seconds and we do 100+ of them a day, the CI says tests are passing, scaling and performance are daily concerns.

And some not-so-technical. Users are millions and kinda like us, 100% distributed – we meet in person few times per year anywhere in the world, growing stable business, all internal communication is open to anybody, people rarely leave the company.

More here: https://automattic.com/work-with-us/

Stack: - PHP REST API & open-source PHP WordPress plugins (Jetpack, WooCommerce) - modern JavaScript single-page app frontend, 100% open-source: http://github.com/Automattic/wp-calypso - various other systems in Python, Go, Erlang, Java…

Hey, wheaties, I work on engineering hiring at Automattic. For the purposes of the trial project we’re very flexible and always account for the applicant’s situation. It’s fine if their employer must retain copyright, we can always choose an open-source project for the trial :-)

At Automattic we do. It shows that a company isn’t remote just to offset office costs.
