Back End Developer

Hello, We are building an IT team in Cuenca, Ecuador that will work for our American VoIP telecom company. Our motto is simple...if you can't get to California, Cuenca is a pretty good alternative. Why, well, it's on EST six months of the year...and CST six months of the year...so no one has to stay up until midnight...unless they just want to. Ecuador uses the American dollar...it just doesn't take as many of those dollars to have a great lifestyle. We are looking for "global" citizens who would be interested in joining us remotely with the intention relocating here to Cuenca at some point in the near future. If you want to know more, keep reading. We are a team of Expat Americans and English-speaking Latinos …living in Cuenca, Ecuador…and other places in Latin America and the Caribbean. We work for American companies from our home offices…our motto…if we had one…might be if you can work from home…home can be anywhere. One of our clients has an opening for back-end developer to work with our UI team to take over and finish the development of an exciting application that has a chance to be a true home run.
