*About Quilted*
Quilted is a three-member worker-owned and cooperatively managed web design, web development, and print design company. We promote workplace democracy and little-d democratic ideals generally through designing and developing websites, print publications, and graphic identities for like-minded social-change organizations. We strive to contextualize our work within larger movements for social justice and to work collaboratively with our clients and colleagues.
We primarily build Drupal-based websites, but also work with WordPress, CiviCRM, and custom PHP and Rails-based web applications. Our core competencies are strategic web consulting, design, HTML/CSS, and Drupal theme development. Our work has been growing steadily over the past three years, especially since our incorporation a year ago, and we're looking for a new potential worker-owner to join our team. We're committed to slow, strategic growth with the interests of members in mind.
Two of us work in an office in Berkeley, California, and the other from his home-based office in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts. We value working in person as much as possible. We're not a "virtual" firm; the eventual plan is for all members to work at the same location. We're enthusiastic about the worker-cooperative model for business, and we embody it as much as possible. All members have the same pay rate, share equitably in any profit at the end of the year, and receive identical raises as we grow. We operate entirely on the basis of consensus, with all members having equal input into decisions, and all expected to contribute actively and creatively to building the company.
*What we're looking for*
We'd like to expand our capacity by adding an excellent programming-focused developer with progressive values who specifically wants to work with like-minded clients.
In addition to the technical knowledge needed for daily client and internal work, working at Quilted takes good collaboration skills and a willingness to fully participate in the daily democratic management and operation of the company.
You're an ideal candidate if you:
* Are passionate about working in a democratic environment
* Have experience with and/or interest in Drupal, WordPress, Ruby on Rails, JavaScript/jQuery, Perl, and PHP
* Have a good sense of design and usability
* Are comfortable communicating directly with clients
* Are willing to engage honestly with other worker-owners
* Have the ability and willingness to work in a team
* Are willing to commute to or relocate to Boston or the East Bay
* Have a strong sense of your own politics and want to bring your worldview into your work
* Deal with conflict well, can articulate your point of view, and be direct about disagreements
* Complement the personalities and working styles of existing worker-owners
*Compensation and benefits*
Quilted offers an equal wage for all worker-owners, as well as a benefits package that includes stipends for equipment and health care expenses.
If you're interested, please send your resume to talk@quilted.coop. Women, people of color, and LGBTQQ people are strongly encouraged to apply.
