From jobs-noreply at seattleperl.org Tue Apr 1 17:15:35 2014 From: jobs-noreply at seattleperl.org (SPUG Jobs) Date: Tue, 1 Apr 2014 17:15:35 -0700 (PDT) Subject: SPUG: JOB: (Seattle, contract) Completing an E-Commerce Checkout Payment Flow Message-ID: Hi, Perl Devs- We have a project that two friends helped on and nearly got done before each got too busy with their day gig projects. It's pretty close to done and could use some help wrapping up. Client: - The Purple Store (www.thepurplestore.com). Everything we sell is purple. Online and walk-in retail selling purple men's/women's clothing, furniture, jewelry, kitchen, electrical tape, etc. Skills Needed: - Solid Perl, a bit of JavaScript Position: - Contract (1099) directly with us, 5-15 hours, $20-50 per hour depending on experience (and perhaps how quickly you tend to code and get things done). Location: - Seattle (Greenlake/Fremont) though most work can be done off-site. We STRONGLY prefer someone locally based in the Seattle area, please. If we do meet on-site, we're located at 7616 Aurora Ave N, Seattle, WA 98103. Summary: - Finishing an e-commerce payment steps flow to integrate with PayPal's back-end for thepurplestore.com. Major bits are most done, just needs final plumbing together, testing, and adding a couple of features. Timeframe: - Soon. This week if possible. Time Needed: - From what I understand, it's about 3-4 real Perl coding hours remaining for the basics on this and a few extra hours for some other features if we can get to them, plus a bit of handoff time to get familiar with what's in the code. Assets: - I'm Perl conversant (having built part of the less-pretty parts of the code) and can be a reference. Both previous devs would be available to explain what the heck they did and I know most of the logic, so you wouldn't be in the dark. A Few Details: We're hoping to redo the front-end of our website soon and will be improving the back-end at the same time. Our current code is Perl + Postgresql and we'll either be improving that and adding some missing features (accounts, etc.) or ditching it for some open source or other cart system. In the meantime, our checkout payment approach is stupid. It sends the customer off-site to PayPal, sometimes returning them after payment, and scares a lot of non-PayPal users away. We can't afford to redo the website until we boost some cash and that means bringing the payment system on-site. This will both improve conversions and let us measure pay-per-click conversions so we can improve the ads we're running. You'd need to look over what's there, activate a few features done but not being triggered, and add two or three more things (such as an API for address verification) if they're not yet in there. Most of the PayPal integration, as I understand it, is already done. Then we'd help with testing and you'd debug. I've got staff sitting here begging me to get this live ASAP. While we can't afford a ton right now this is a priority for us so we'd like to pay someone (rather than have a friend do it when they can) a reasonable amount so they can prioritize it. I'd greatly prefer a Seattle-based dev rather than someone out of town or abroad, please. Hopefully someone who knows people I know, etc. Please let me know if you or someone you love would fit this and what your background and skill levels are. Happy to work out project and compensation details together. For e-mail your reply, including a quick description of your background and (candid) assessment of your Perl and JavaScript skills, to hireme _-/AT/-_ thepurplestore.com. Thanks much. - Adam From jobs-noreply at seattleperl.org Thu Apr 3 17:34:52 2014 From: jobs-noreply at seattleperl.org (SPUG Jobs) Date: Thu, 3 Apr 2014 17:34:52 -0700 (PDT) Subject: SPUG: JOB: (Seattle) Get in the door to a great company Message-ID: I am a tools programmer at Isilon/EMC located in Pioneer square.
