Moodle with us!
We're the world's most popular learning platform, and we’re on a mission to empower educators to improve our world.
And Moodle Workplace is a relatively young, fast-growing competitor in the burgeoning workplace learning sector.
We are looking for an exceptional Front-end developer to join the Moodle Workplace team. If you are that person, and enjoy learning, while having fun together as we advance our mission, read on!
What your new team and job look like…
At Moodle, we’re a small but mighty group of passionate people, based in several different countries around the world. We’re united by our dedication to enable best-practice online learning, whether within education institutions or workplaces, and we are looking for someone who is aligned to our values and goals
As a Front-end developer at Moodle, you’ll contribute to making Moodle Workplace the world’s most effective platform to train and engage diverse teams of learners. You’ll play an essential role in our product development team turning our UX team’s prototypes into great interfaces, and be part of a much bigger international community of contributing developers and Moodle Partners.
You will not only work very closely with the UX team, but also will team with a team of very talented developers working together to make Moodle Workplace the best LMS in the world.
At Moodle, no 2 days will ever be the same, but most days in this role usually involve a mix of:
- Writing high-quality code.
- Designing and documenting the implementation of new features.
- Reviewing code.
- Writing automated tests.
- Collaborating with other developers across multiple dev teams.
- Contributing to product decisions.
...and laughing with your team...
This role can be based anywhere in the Europe Region! In Spain as a permanent employee, or anywhere else in the rest of Europe as a contractor. Just let us know where you are when you apply.
Requirements
We'd love to meet you…
Especially if you can talk to us about your:

- Programming experience in a medium to large scale development environment (PHP)

Some other things that are important to us:
