While hiring a Magento developer, we look for the following points among candidates:
Technical Skills: Candidates should have a strong understanding of Magento development, including experience with Magento 2. They should be proficient in PHP, MySQL, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and jQuery.
Experience With Related Technologies: Experience with related technologies such as MVC frameworks (e.g., Laravel, Symfony), Git, and Linux server administration would be a must to be applicable.
Education And Certifications: A degree in computer science or a related field would be preferred. However, at Folio3, we focus more on skills and would love our candidates to have Magento-specific certifications, such as the Magento Certified Developer from Adobe and Magento Certified Solution Specialist from Adobe would also be a plus.
Communication And Teamwork: As we work internationally, the most important quality to look for in a candidate is the ability to communicate clearly and work collaboratively with other developers, designers, and project managers is important in a team environment.
Experience With eCommerce: Familiarity with eCommerce concepts and platforms, as well as experience with payment gateways, shipping integrations, and order processing, would be valuable.
In addition to the technical and professional qualifications listed above, Folio3 would also assess candidates based on their overall fit with the company culture and values and their ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
