We are seeking a talented PHP / WordPress Developer to build and maintain secure, high-performance custom applications that power mission-critical training platforms for military, law enforcement, and industry professionals worldwide.
In this hands-on role, you'll develop robust solutions—including online certification portals, interactive training systems, customer support platforms, and (based on your experience and drive to learn) Android mobile apps and secure, high-trust LLM integrations for advanced automation and AI-enhanced features in compliance-sensitive environments.
You'll work on exciting projects that directly enable operators to master state-of-the-art technology like drones, robots, and aircraft-mounted camera systems—helping ensure everyone comes home safely. In our small, collaborative team, your code makes a real difference. You’ll love coming to work!
Key Responsibilities
Education Services LLC specializes in creating online and instructor led training programs and custom online training, service, and membership portals. We delight our customers with excellent user experience, service, and engaging learning experiences.
Sometimes we create simple training modules or courses. Most of the time we create full certification training programs consisting of multimedia learning experiences, practice activities, simulations and pseudo-simulations, knowledge checks, and human scored or computer based certification assessments.
We serve customers around the world but since our work includes DoD projects, we only employ U.S. Citizens who can work in-person in our office in Draper, UT. All applications are subject to background check and drug test, must provide proof of citizenship, and live within reasonable commute to our office.
This is a great place to work if you love to help people gain the knowledge and skills needed to operate state of the art technology and equipment, value working in small teams where your impact matters, and want to continually learn and grow professionally. We especially love veterans and those with family serving in military and law enforcement.
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans. If you would like more information about how your data is processed, please contact us.
