Hi! We're Photojojo, and we're on a mission to make photography more fun for everyone. We're looking for a full-time Web Developer in San Francisco, CA to join our dev team. (Rad candidates outside of San Francisco also considered.)

About us

We run the most fun online shop you've seen, wrote a book for Random House (5 stars on Amazon :D), have a not-so-small army of adoring fans, and we've been in the New York Times, WSJ, Wired, on The CBS Early Show and lots more.

We're a (small) company with big dreams and big heart. We're six years old, we're profitable (whoa!), growing, and have ! a unique model that combines publishing and ecommerce.

We believe in hard work, and that work should be fun. (Last year we took the company to India, this year we went to Mexico!) We support work-from-home and an open vacation policy.

We're building to last and our customers love us.

We're located in the Mission District in San Francisco, but we'll consider exceptional candidates working remotely. We have lots of sit-stand desks, Apple gear, big monitors, roof access, fruit delivery, and our office is bike-friendly and homey. (Also dinosaur-friendly.)

You'll be working on our homegrown PHP/MySQL e-commerce platform, running the gamut from backend business functions (warehouse integration, inventory prediction algorithms, customer support features, etc.) to slick front-end floursishes (go here, click the lever).
