· Maintain smooth operation and clean coding in HTML, CSS, JavaScript/jQuery, PHP, and XML/XSL, across a variety of web sites and systems.
· Update and expand web sites with new pages or features, by programming and testing them prior to launch, and then supporting them if and when technical problems arise.
· Provide training and technical support to non-technical EngenderHealth staff, including remote users, on the Cascade content management system and WordPress blogs.
EDUCATION, EXPERIENCE & CERTIFICATIONS:

· Strong practical knowledge of PHP, MySQL, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, and XSL, with at least the basic ability to program clean, readable, optimal code in these languages.
· The skill to read pre-existing code to decipher what it does, and how; and to then adjust it to meet new needs/specifications without breaking prior functionality.
· An ability to take an existing web site and, with the support of a web designer, extend the site with new pages or functionality while preserving visual design and branding.

· An understanding of responsive/mobile web CSS, as well as the various practical differences between common browsers.
· At least basic knowledge of visual design concepts — the stronger this knowledge, the better.

· The ability to work independently, reliably completing projects and meeting deadlines without constant supervision.
· Experience working with colleagues who telecommute or work from at remote offices.
· The skill to research and learn new systems, approaches, and solutions, as needed to solve problems on the job.
