Our development team is small and we are looking for developers that are comfortable with a variety of tasks from working with CSS and Javascript to PHP development to database design and optimization. Projects span a wide range of functionality including reporting, email, portals, charting, mapping, analytics, workflow, surveys, rules engines, social networking, etc. Back-end PHP and database skills are more important for this position than front-end expertise. You should have experience making architectural and data model decisions in addition to writing code.

We have our own internal framework for MVC and you should have experience with MVC development, object oriented programming, unit testing and version control (subversion preferred). You should have experience designing data models for reasonably complex domains, developing effective index and query strategies and optimizing query performance. Knowledge of MySQL replication is a plus. Familiarity with AJAX, Flex or other RIA frameworks is a plus. We use SCRUM so it would be ideal if you have experience with agile methodologies. We use macs to develop and developers are free to choose their own tools.
