Viget is an independent digital agency that has been branding, designing, and building digital products and platforms since 1999. Our culture is ideal for lifelong learners seeking a variety of meaningful work, supportive collaboration with positive teammates, and a healthy work/life balance. We work from four sweet offices (hybrid) and remote locations throughout the U.S., and utilize a proven cadence of virtual and in-person meetings and retreats to build comradery and stay connected. We love our team.
If you join our industry-leading development team as a Craft developer, you can expect to work on projects that will challenge you to learn and grow as a developer. You'll be working alongside project managers, user experience and visual designers, and other developers to collaborate with our clients from major brands to world-changing nonprofits to emerging startups and tech leaders. Viget == variety.
Our Craft developers love Craft CMS and are adept at transforming requirements into efficiently configured, performant, data models and know how to provide an exceptional admin experience for our clients. They are equally comfortable building smaller sites end-to-end or configuring and architecting larger sites where data requirements and functionality need their specialized expertise. Internally, Craft developers are called "platform developers," and are part of a team of versatile developers who are dedicated to industry-leading CMS development.
To get a feel for how we think and what we're learning about, read our tech articles or check out our projects on Github.
Our Craft Developers:
- Build new applications, content, and ecommerce sites using Craft CMS and Craft Commerce.
- Write clean and effective Twig code and know when to separate functionality into PHP modules and plugins.
- Have experience defining and implementing data models.
- Understand how to write performant queries and, more generally, how to get the most out of Craft.
- Have experience building interfaces from designs and can pitch in on this work occasionally when needed.
- Enjoy keeping up with Craft updates and the ever-evolving landscape of plug-ins, while staying pragmatic about what to invest their time and energy in.
- Embody our core values of integrity, work ethic, collaboration, creativity, and lifelong learning (especially important as we continually evaluate and embrace new technologies).
- Value mentorship, learning, and sharing knowledge.
- Enjoy working with others in our collaborative environment that balances team-wide communication (e.g., standups, Slack discussions, code review), occasional pair programming sessions, and frequent blocks of focused, uninterrupted time for independent work.
- Listen, collaborate, and communicate exceptionally well.
In a given week, our Craft developers might be:
- In the thick of one large project or balancing 3 - 4 smaller development tasks. There is no typical week when it comes to projects, but the ability to context switch is essential.
- Collaborating with the project team during early design phases to help shape the scope and success of a project.
- Working with a data model in Craft, building out a design using Twig, or writing Craft plugins or modules in PHP. Our Craft developers are equally comfortable in the front-end and back-end of the platform.
- Reviewing pull requests from other developers on the same project or across projects. We view PR reviews as opportunities to practice our "always learning and teaching" ethos.
- Attending team meetings that are designed for sharing knowledge, surfacing concerns, and generally bringing together a group that is usually working separately across many projects.
Everyone at Viget:
- Embodies our core values of integrity, work ethic, collaboration, creativity, and lifelong learning.
