Work With Us! Web Developer

We need a web developer to help us rapidly develop our already world leading website.

We are not just looking for a developer who will do as they are told but someone with a creative flair and enthusiasm for the subject matter who can step up and suggest new ways of delivering our world class cycling content to more readers through an ever increasing array of devices and technologies.

You will join the existing small team of developers and be expected to play an active part in future plans and development of Singletrack magazine and grit.cx. You’ll get a desk with a computer on it, a phone (with direct dial for pizza delivery and diet coke) and all the coffee you can drink. Plus you’ll get to play with bikes a bit, since they are all over the place round here. We have dull stuff too, like regular wages, incentives, pensions and perks. We all went go karting last week, which was pretty cool too. But the best part is the people you will get to work with every day who think working for Singletrack is pretty bloody ace (in the main, all things considered).

Essentials

• Excellent knowledge of PHP (at least 2 years)
• An understanding of SQL (preferably MySql)
• Front-end development skills using html, html5 and Javascript

Desirables

• Experience of WordPress theme and plugin development.

Experience of the following technologies would be advantageous:

• nginx
• Familiarity with version control systems
• jquery
• Java (Android app development)
• Swift (iOS app development)
• Google Analytics
• Selenium
• Ruby on rails
• Facebook Apps/APIs
• Like riding bikes

The position is full time and based at our Todmorden office. Salary is £25k.

Singletrack Owner/Publisher

Mark has been riding mountain bikes for over 30 years and co-owns Singletrack, where he's been publisher for 25 years. While his official title might be Managing Director, his actual job description is "whatever needs doing" – from wrangling finances and keeping the lights on to occasionally remembering to ride bikes for fun rather than just work. He's seen the sport evolve from rigid forks to whatever madness the industry dreams up next, and he's still not entirely sure what "gravel" is. When he's not buried in spreadsheets or chasing late invoices, he's probably thinking about his next ride.
