We are the first to market with a patented image-streaming technology that’s revolutionising the way images are published and monetized online. We’re now working with some of the world’s most prestigious image companies, publishers and brands on widespread adoption, and we’re on track to become the next tech unicorn.
SmartFrame Technologies is a dynamic and fast-growing company that’s dedicated to upholding the rights of image owners worldwide. Our vision is to redefine the way images are published and viewed online – and we need plenty of talented people to come on board to help us do just that.
We’re currently on the hunt for a proficient Backend Developer, one who will work their magic on everything that powers our platform. The role would be ideal for someone who is up to date on PHP and SQL languages, as well as relevant image- and graphics-processing tools used in conjunction with these. Crunching the data is key, but we’re also on the lookout for someone who can use their creativity and intelligence to extract the maximum value from it, creating the tools and processes to support this where necessary.
There’s a lot to the role, but the lucky candidate will be joining at a pivotal moment for the company. They’ll be rewarded with plenty of scope for growth, a fun and sociable team, and some tasty financial perks on top of a competitive salary.
