About us

Maps Marker Pro is a WordPress mapping plugin. Our main goal is to provide our users with an intuitive and user-friendly interface for organizing and sharing spots and tracks.  

The plugin is based on the famous leaflet.js library managed by Vladimir Agafonkin, which also powers maps on sites like Facebook, Flickr, Foursquare, Craigslist, Wikipedia and Washington Post. We use this library as the basis for our plugin and have integrated several other leaflet plugins for enhancing its functionality.

We are constantly improving our plugin: We frequently release updates and focus on high quality service and support for our users.

What you will be doing

You would help us with

  • fixing bugs
  • developing new features, e.g. full i18n support via WPML integration, adding markers from frontend and publication statuses
  • Optional: Answering support tickets. (If that’s something you’d want to do, great; if you just want to code, that’s fine as well.)

As a freelancer, you will be working from wherever you want and provide your own equipment. You will be paid by the hour, with bonus payments for bigger and time-sensitive tasks.

What you need for this position

Must-haves:

  • User experience with Maps Marker Pro / Leaflet Maps Marker
  • Excellent skills in HTML, PHP and Javascript
  • In-depth WordPress knowledge, especially APIs
  • Reliability
  • Teamwork and collaboration skills

Nice-to-have:

  • Experience with leaflet.js
  • Moral code: We make sure that Maps Marker Pro doesn’t only work well, but that how it works is compliant with best practices for ethical coding. So, if you care about issues like privacy, encryption and open data, you will fit right in with us!

What’s in it for you

  • Hourly pay, bonus payments for bigger, time-sensitive tasks
  • Flexible work hours
  • A friendly team that cares about collaboration
  • Possibility to grow with the company

So, if that sounds like something you want to do, please send your application to info@mapsmarker.com. Please make sure to include your hourly rate and your ideas for Maps Marker Pro: If it were up to you, how would you improve the plugin? Which feature do you think we should work on next?

We look forward to hearing from you!
