Passionate about web development? Looking for a flexible, remote role where you are working on an enthusiastic and committed team? This is a brilliant opportunity to develop your technical skills within a forward-thinking and supportive team.
About the Company
“HappyPorch is a completely distributed company. We have no office. We are a small, distributed team of specialist web developers who value, support and mentor each other. One of our founding principles is that the company exists for us, not the other way around. While we do work hard, we also acknowledge that a healthy, balanced life is a requirement, not an optional extra.
Part-time or Job Share options
We are very open to part-time (min 50%) or job share applications for this role. Please make your interest clear in your application.
What’s in it for you?
Impact
You will bring your experience, ideas and energy to the role. As part of a small, fun team you will be much more than just another cog in the wheel. There is a huge opportunity to further develop your technical & other skills.
Purpose
A key part of our purpose is to contribute in a positive way to the world around us. Thus we dedicate a portion of their “on the job” time working on ‘pro-bono’ projects that have societal value. This might include open source development, charity projects or training and assisting other organisations. A great example is our ongoing work with Collegium Telemedicus.
Transparency
We run on self-management principles. This does not mean a completely flat hierarchy, any group of humans will have leaders. It does mean that we all input into how the company is run and everyone is invited to get involved and take on the level of responsibility that suits each of us. It also means that leadership is much more fluid than in a traditional company hierarchy.
We provide a lot of support and coaching to help you thrive in this environment and thus to do great work. Although it can be challenging, it is incredibly rewarding to be part of.
Unlimited holidays
We really mean this, it’s not just a throw-away phrase nor does it mean taking less holidays. The minimum is 28 days annually and, so long as the work gets done, we encourage as much other time away as possible. You must take at least one continuous 2-week break per year.
Location & Hours
This role is remote, much of the time you can work from anywhere – well almost – anywhere within 2 hours of the UK timezone. We are more interested in results than micromanaging which means we are very happy to talk about flexibility in your working hours. Some of our team enjoy a very structured day, others flex their work around family commitments.
Twice each year we meet-up for about a week to work together. Recent locations have included Morocco, Madeira, Bulgaria and Scotland. As well as being really useful it is a lot of fun, so we do all we can to help everyone join where it is possible.
Here is an honest insight into some of the advantages (and challenges) with working in a remote team.”

The Role
You will be helping to care for a number of Umbraco websites, including maintenance & support, bug fixing and adding new features. You will also be involved, with the rest of the development team, in the planning and development of new Umbraco sites, redesigns and overhauls of existing sites.
You will be working remotely as part of a small team of 10 spread across Scotland, England, several other countries across Europe and beyond. Working on a distributed team takes a high level of motivation and the ability to self- manage. You will also be communicating with clients directly. This requires excellent written and verbal English communication skills and the ability to communicate professionally with both technical and non-technical people.
Requirements
You:
Enjoy solving problems and are constantly looking to learn and improve
Are outstanding at communicating both verbally and in written English (and more than tech-speak!)
Are detail-oriented and meticulous about quality
Understand how important good, disciplined process is; in software development as well as communication and project management
Technology:
HappyPorch is more interested in your interest in web development & your ability to learn, solve problems and your professional approach to coding
A good working knowledge of C#, ASP.NET MVC, HTML/CSS and Javascript
Experience of Umbraco (or other CMS) is an advantage, although is not required.
