Wanted: PHP Programmer

We’re looking for a programmer fluent in OO PHP to assist and lead projects for client-specific web application development.

Skills should include familiarity with the MVC code structure, comfort working with Object-Oriented PHP code, the ability to jump in and start using other people’s code, and past experience with some of the major open-source PHP software (WordPress, Vanilla, Drupal, CakePHP, etc).

The applicant needs to demonstrate their ability as an independent problem-solver, and their ability to work well with others. We put a high value on curiosity and inquisitiveness, and past experience demonstrating those is great to see.

We work almost exclusively with MySQL, so a basic familiarity with that is important as well.

Specific tasks for this position include:

- customizing pre-existing code bases for specific client needs
- leading development of custom web applications
- working with other programmers on longer term, internal development projects
- optimizing pre-existing code
- server customization and management
- ability to quickly learn and develop proficiency in new coding languages and frameworks.

Bonus Points for:

- Experience with CakePHP or Rails
- JQuery or similar OO Javascript Framework
- Any design or UI experience
- Degree in C.S. or related field (i.e. physics, math, biology, etc.)
- Fondness for cookies, coffee, and/or beer

This position is full-time or part-time and your physical presence in the office will be expected. Freelancers need not apply.
