Full stack developer Jobs in Varennes, QC

Job Description

Our technology team is a dynamic group of Front-End and Back-end developers who produce and maintain web and mobile sites and applications for our customers with the goal of generating “Wow” as a reaction to project delivery.

Rather than working with all-in-one CMS (such as Wordpress, Drupal or Joomla), we carry out our projects with platforms (framework) such as Laravel using a template machine such as TWIG in order to have full control over the appearance of our projects.

Canadian work permit required, and residency in the Montréal area required.

Responsibilities
