We are looking for a senior web developer to help us continue making great websites. This is a remote position. You may be located anywhere in India or the rest of the world (with at least a 4‑hour time overlap with the Indian timezone).
Miranj is a strategic web design and development studio. We are laser-focused on the web — no mobile/native apps, no product design, no digital UI/UX, no trying to imitate a 'full-service agency'. We've been creating inclusive, accessible, ceaseless, clear, performant, future-friendly websites and with each passing year, we want to keep getting better at our craft.
We work directly with clients (no outsourced assignments or communicating via intermediaries) and offer them a turnkey web solution — strategy, design, development, support, and hosting. We've worked in domains such as media & publishing, manufacturing, conferences, recruitment, and even for other design studios. However, what sets us apart is our priority towards projects that are meaningful and serving society. Nearly two-thirds of our work is in the education (e.g. universities, science outreach, etc.) and non-profit (policy & advocacy, health, public interest campaigns, philanthropy, etc.) We're incorporated in New Delhi but in practice, we're a fully remote organisation. And we occasionally share our learnings with the web community at conferences around the world.
As a senior web developer, you should be comfortable with —
The entire web stack i.e. front-end (HTML/CSS), back-end, writing templates and working with modern JavaScript.
Taking ownership of project repositories and ensuring stability over release cycles.
Writing code for different & diverse application frameworks (in PHP / JavaScript etc).
Creating robust & modular templating architectures.
Handling, manipulating and migrating data sets between environments.
Leveraging shell scripts & command-line tools.
Deploying projects on servers.
Writing progressively enhanced HTML, CSS, JavaScript and adopting third-party libraries.
You favour a long-term relationship over a short stint
You are open to learning and can pick up new technologies by reading documentation & tutorials
You are valuable at communication, including writing
You believe that an organisation should be run sustainably and with financial prudence
Leading web projects and owning client relationships.
Understanding key project requirements and architecting robust technical solutions.
Translating designs into CMS templates, building custom features and plugins that extend CMS functionality.
Performance optimisation through caching, image optimisation and other strategies.
Maintaining, supporting, refactoring and upgrading past projects (typically, LAMP stack).
Collaborating closely with external partners in a project team.
Opportunity to work with modern systems and software, with continuous learning
Projects that are meaningful and socially-conscious
Medical insurance (if you're based in India)
A sustainable pace of work (5‑day work week and up to 40 days of paid time off each year)
and a healthy work-life balance
A healthy compensation, proportionate to the value you can bring to us
Demonstrate evidence of past work (commercial/hobby projects) and link to your Github profile.
If you belong to any under-represented community we strongly encourage you to send in your application.
