Original posting

Wordfence | Senior PHP Developer | Full-time, 100% REMOTE in US I'm the founder and CEO of Wordfence. We make the most popular firewall and malware scanner for WordPress, installed on over 4 million production sites. We've experienced huge growth over the past couple of years, which Covid only accelerated. Our team is 38 awesome people, with 25 full time US based employees and folks in Europe and Australia. Our team has always been 100% remote, which I believe is the most effective way to work for software teams, and always has been. You can find more of my thoughts on the issue here: https://www.defiant.com/employment/ For context, our company name is Defiant - hence our corporate site is at defiant.com and our product site is Wordfence.com. We are working on a few super interesting projects right now: - About to launch two new pricing tiers - Rebuilding our internal threat intelligence platform as a very high performance decoupled app in AWS. - Internationalization to bring the free and paid versions of Wordfence to new markets - CMS and Analytics integration for our ecommerce platform - Plenty of passion projects too. We launched fastorslow.com as a passion project with more to come. If you're interested in cybersecurity, love shipping high performance quality PHP code, and want to work sane hours with a relaxed fully remote team, we'd love to hear from you. Current openings: - Senior PHP developer ($20K signing bonus): https://www.defiant.com/employment/senior-php-developer/ - Senior Ops and Security Engineer (AWS): https://www.defiant.com/employment/senior-security-operations-engineer/ - QA Engineer: https://www.defiant.com/employment/qa-engineer/ - Bookkeeper: https://www.defiant.com/employment/bookkeeper/ - All our listings with an intro from me on our culture and approach to remote: https://www.defiant.com/employment/ I should also add that I'm very proud of our benefits program, which is absolutely awesome and includes awesome PTO, medical, dental, vision, 401K, we cover certifications, exams and degree programs and much more.
