Well Rounded Web Programmer

Hi! I am Akshat, founding partner at Zenmind Studio.

Zenmind Studio is a web development agency with a focus on building digital products that are intuitive and human centered.

We are looking for a web programmer with an eye for good design to join us full-time. We are looking for someone who can adjust and learn and flow as opposed to a specialist who can do only one thing.

Your responsibilities will include writing semantic HTML, well organised CSS, building WordPress or Jekyll templates. Strong JavaScript skills is a must but specialization in frameworks (react, angular, and gazillions others) is not. Basic design skills like wireframing is a must. Knowledge of Ruby and Ruby on Rails is an added bonus.

You might have a CS degree. You might not. That’s not what we’re looking for. We care about what you can do and how you do it, not about how you got here. A strong track record of conscientious, thoughtful work speaks volumes.

These are some of the things we are currently building to give you a sense of what your day-to-day will look like:

1. Build a donation/charity/crowdfunding website using WordPress and Elementor Page Builder.
2. Build a brochure site for an established chemical company using Jekyll and Forestry. The design specifications is shared on Figma.
3. Building a reporting system for a Supply Planning software built on Ruby on Rails so that the users can create charts according to their specifications and pin them to the dashboard.
4. Help client setup an IMAP account on Outlook on Android.
5. Teach client how to use the CMS to update the website.

We don't:

1. Celebrate workaholism
2. Schedule unecessary meetings
3. Waste hours in daily check-ins
4. Micromanage people and their time
5. Work on weekends

Pulling all nighters, working on weekends is not the culture at Zenmind. We work for around 40 - 50 hours a week, treat ourselves to a good day's worth of work and shut down our machines at a reasonable time. We manage our own time and get work done. Managers of One thrive at Zenmind. We value good writers and writing is the primary mode of communication at the company.

We are a remote company and this is a remote position.

The compensation for this contract will be between INR 30,000/- to INR 50,000/- per month based on experience.

Hiring Process

If your cover letter impresses us and you make it to the first round you will be given a small take home programming test. If you clear this test, we will setup a one hour interview on your schedule. We will make an offer once you clear the interview.
