You'll be working with a team of some of the smartest development people around so if you're wanting to advance to the next level and polish your skills with the best of them - here's your chance. You'll be developing and maintaining a set of browser based Internet applications. You'll be developing applications that drive a global distributed network analyzing and processing data based on a huge data store. If you're a passionate PHP developer with excellent DHTML/CSS front end skills as well as strong SQL (ideally postgres but MySQL or other database) is fine too - then this is the dream job that you've been looking for. We're looking for the person who is skilled and talented in in building user interfaces using Javascript, HTML, DHTML and CSS. You'll be working in a technology driven company that is highly successful. # We're looking for someone who thinks logically and is passionate about their work # We're looking for someone who is creative and innovative, who can contribute their good ideas and bring them to life in the software. # We're looking for someone who is a tenacious problem solver, who will absolutely work out what the problem is regardless of how tough. # We're looking for someone who does this work because they love it - perhaps maybe someone from the classic "Linux Hacker" culture (Hacker as in old-school coder, not as in Cracker). # We're looking for someone who is self-driven and autonomous, who needs minimal direction and can see what needs to be done and will take up the challenge without the need for micro management. # We're looking for someone with a deep understanding and experience of SQL. Postgres is the database in use here, but if you've got the skills on MySQL or something else then thats fine too. # We're looking for someone with first class verbal and written communication skills. You must communicate extremely clearly and be highly articulate. The systems are running on Debian Linux and while we're not looking for a Linux kernel hacker, it would be valuable if you have in-depth experience working with Linux. Formal qualifications would be good, but not a requirement. We're more interested in what you can do than what piece of paper you have. This is an exciting, growing company that is already successful and becoming more so every day.
