Benevity is a Calgary-based internet software company who's microdonation software enables businesses of all types to engage their customers and employees in optional charitable giving. We are looking for a Senior PHP+Drupal developer experienced with delivering large and complicated projects.
We are not a web development agency. We do not mangle together code in order to meet customer deadlines. Instead, we are building quality SAAS and API products with an eye towards expandability, maintainability and performance. Drupal is one of the frameworks we are developing on. So if you are an experienced developer, looking for new challenges and working with a great team, please drop me a line.
