Senior PHP/Laravel Developer for FUEL

This position can be remote, but US based candidates only.

About You:

Looking for a unique work environment and culture to thrive in? Do you love the sense of accomplishment in launching a new website? Are you a motivated individual who works well independently as well as on a team? Then we want you!

About Dealer Inspire

Dealer Inspire is an automotive website platform provider located in Naperville, Illinois. We pride ourselves in having a fun, unconventional working environment and a great culture. While our team works extremely hard, we try to keep it a fun and creative work environment. At Dealer Inspire, we like to look at current problems and 'rethink' about solutions. We're flexible - we don't write requirements in stone, and things can change regularly. This means rethinking how the solutions work best. Do you want to come 'rethink' with us?

Job Description

Dealer Inspire is looking for experienced developers to join our product development teams. We're always innovating - we're looking for people that can own projects and see them through to delivery - while we want rock stars, we're not interested in prima donnas. Personal responsibility with respect to quality, attention to detail, and contribution of ideas is highly needed to succeed.

FUEL is an application that creates engaging dynamic text ads for every vehicle in our customer’s inventory. By using unique vehicle attributes from inventory feeds, ads are automatically generated with specific vehicle data and pushed out to various advertising platforms. Part of the platform analyzes ad spends and automatically adjust budgets across Google and Bing Ads to optimize budget allocation. Other parts of FUEL manage leads from Facebook and aggregate data across multiple sources for in-depth reporting. FUEL is migrating away from a MVC Kohana app to a Laravel-based API and React front-end; from legacy to brand-new code, this project has it all.
