About the Job

​At Dash, our Goal is to focus on tackling inefficiencies and legacy issues in the payments space to increase financial freedom and opportunities for everyone. We develop products that enable payments on the blockchain and make cryptocurrency accessible for consumers, merchants, businesses, and developers. We’ve designed a payments platform that puts user experience first, obscures the technical complexity underneath, and reinvents how cryptocurrency works in the future. In order words, we are a crypto meant to be spent and are putting the currency back in the term cryptocurrency.

Role
We are looking for a full-time Wordpress developer responsible for the development and maintenance of our company website, https://www.dash.org, and associated domains and content platforms. We’re looking for someone with a critical eye who could also recommend UI/UX improvements based on users feedback and implement them. We need a developer who can think like a consumer, proactively present recommended improvements like a UI/UX expert and ultimately take on the responsibility associated with “owning” our web properties. 

You will be working on a small team within a large team and report directly to the Global Head of Marketing. You will need to wear many hats, work against multiple deadlines and devise creative solutions. You, in turn, will be working on cutting edge technology not accessible to the general public, collaborate with established thought leaders in the blockchain and cryptocurrency community, work with a global workforce and have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to help shape the future of crypto usage, payments and marketing.
