The Role⌗

You will be responsible for the maintenance and expansion of Motic’s e-commerce activities on our Shopify store.

The role is an exciting blend of online marketing, sysadmin, web development, graphic design and tech support. If this sounds daunting, don’t worry! We expect you to pick up most of the skills required on the job.

The only hard requirement we have is that you have some experience in web development in a professional environment. That means you need to know the ins-and-outs of HTML, CSS and vanilla Javascript at the very least.

Most of the Javascript on our sites and tools also use jQuery, so a good understanding of jQuery for DOM manipulation and sending/parsing HTTP requests would be extremely helpful. We also use AJAX for everything from Shopify cart updates to API integrations, so experience using it would be an asset. At the very least, you should be prepared to get up to speed with jQuery and AJAX within the first month.

While everything above is enough for the role, having some knowledge/experience with PHP back-end development would make you the perfect fit. SQL injections, input sanitization and type juggling should be familiar phrases to you. If you’re hearing these for the first time, you should at least be able to understand what they are and why they’re important from a quick Google search.

We don’t expect you to know everything right off the bat!
What we do expect from you is to have strong passion for all things tech related, to easily absorb new information and to know when and where to look for it.

You should know how to research the pros and cons of tools, frameworks and libraries to pick the best one for the job. You should be used to referring to documentation whenever you need help.
