PHP Developer

 Over the last 6 years Better Proposals has grown from a simple idea for an internal tool into one of the “big 4” in the proposal space. Continual growth on a month-by-month basis is always the goal but doing it by continually innovating, creating new things and making our customers happy. 
 

  
 
Are you “the one”?
 
 

 We are looking for multiple talented and enthusiastic PHP developers, with varying levels of skill, to join our experienced product team. We are ideally looking for "full stack" developers but "front-end" and "back-end" developers who are keen to learn should also speak to us. You will be contributing to improving the product by working on new features and improving existing ones. 
 

  
 

 Better Proposals is one of the world’s leading proposal tools, which helps businesses send web-based, high-converting business proposals, contracts and other types of documents. By sending trackable, modern documents with the ability to sign and pay online, our software helps sales representatives win more clients and get paid faster. 
 

  
 

 With 10,000+ users around the globe, we’re just getting started.
