Senior Web Developer
Founded in 2006, Haven Agency is a group of dedicated digital enthusiasts with the goal of producing outstanding work that delivers measurable results. We’re happy to be located in sunny Southern California, land of freeways and freethinkers. At Haven, we leverage proven methodologies and expertise to deliver impactful digital solutions. Here, cookie-cutter doesn’t cut it. Our agency is all custom, all the time, and no two clients – or projects – are the same. While our primary focus is on creating online projects for the video game, entertainment, toy and lifestyle markets, we happily welcome clients from outside those industries. Our roster of clients over the years has included: Wizards of the Coast, Riot Games, Blizzard Entertainment, Live Nation, Ticketmaster, AEG, Bandai, Monster Energy, MedMen, and more.
Haven Agency is a fully remote team where creativity thrives from the comfort of your own home. We do require U.S. residence, and if you're soaking up the Southern California sun, consider that a serious bonus.
We are primarily looking for a candidate with a robust portfolio, preferably with agency experience or a track record of managing multiple projects rather than just one long-term client. It’s a bonus if your expertise extends beyond what’s typically offered by a coding academy or bootcamp.
