The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Lionsgate is hiring a Backend Developer in Charleston, WV.

• Role description

  1 years of wrestling with Initiative taught you what good code feels like, and we want that instinct on our Backend Developer team. You won't find a tighter fit if you've got 1 years, want $52,000 - $76,000, and crave a technology team that lets you lead.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Own the results-oriented Kotlin subsystem that the rest of Lionsgate quietly depends on
  • Enhance test automation frameworks to increase release confidence
  • Drive adoption of best practices in testing, security, and observability
  • Harden Lionsgate's Kotlin auth so the WV audit comes back clean
  • Pair with cross-functional partners to scope and deliver remote projects
  • Walk technology stakeholders through PHP tradeoffs in language Lionsgate execs grasp

  What You'll Bring

  • Comfort steering technology conversations toward a decision
  • Real proficiency with Kotlin, plus willingness to learn MongoDB fast
  • Knowledge of WV-specific regulations relevant to technology work
  • Fluency in React earned the hard way, not just from a tutorial
  • 1 or more years steering technology projects end to end
  • The kind of curiosity that reads the docs before asking
  • Confident communicator across email, calls, and in-person meetings

  Lionsgate is Charleston, WV's answer to a technology industry grown lazy, run by a deadline-driven team that still cares about Networking. Psychological safety is something we actively build, so disagreeing in good faith is encouraged.

  Beyond the $52,000 - $76,000 base, Lionsgate invests in your growth through paid certifications, conferences, and dedicated learning time.

  Still hiring, still current, still waiting for someone like you.

  Got the drive and the PHP? we'd love to see your application.
