Web Developer

At Linked Retail, we partner with brands and retailers to make their businesses more efficient and profitable through the next evolution in brand and e-commerce integrations. Located in Houston, TX we’ve been getting retailers connected and online since 2010.

We want to invite a Web Developer to join our team. This can be an entry-level position if you’re honest about the bolded parts below and have at minimum the main requirements in the Skills section.

At Linked Retail we encourage growth, learning (on your on and together), and cross-training. We want a self-motivated learner and a team player that can be professional to clients. We’re growing, building a business, and you will be a part of that. You will learn a lot here. You have been warned.

Communication, being a part of a team, and a willingness to learn tasks/responsibilities outside your own roles to understand our entire project processes and products are important. The more you know.

As a Web Developer, you will be chiefly responsible for assisting with monitoring product services and servers and troubleshooting those services and servers to identify/resolve issues when needed. You must be comfortable working alone, with clients, and with the team; manage deadlines and respond in a strong and clear manner via email, phone, and if circumstances permit, in person. Most tasks are accomplished remotely from our Houston office.

There will be overlap in support with other products, again stressing cross-training, requiring you to learn various systems to understand how all products integrate. You will also participate in product development cycles, sprints, and quality assurance.
