| The Position |
Join an exciting and expanding .com company. We're
looking to hire a detail oriented PHP web developer

jobs you've had before. We are concerned with your
drive to improve yourself, pay attention to the
details, and help the people around you.
The work is demanding and you will be
expected to understand what you need to do and largely
manage your own time and deliverables – we don't have
babysitters. If you want an opportunity to learn and
grow, to work with a team of great, smart people, we
want to hear from you.
As part of the IT team you may be called
upon to help out with general technical issues so you
should be enthusiastic about solving everyday IT
problems with desktops and laptops.
The ideal candidate will be an experienced
web developer, with a keen interest in general IT
(networks, servers, etc). There will also be some
Devops - helping build and rebuild our infrastructure
as we scale.

-
be a self-starter who can adapt quickly in
a fast changing startup environment
-
have no problem multi-tasking and working
on a variety of projects

- 2+ years of experience developing web applications with PHP

- HTML, CSS, web standards and semantic web markup
- SQL and a working understanding of best practices
-
JavaScript and experience with at least one
JavaScript library (e.g jQuery, Prototype, MooTools)
|
| An ideal candidate will also have: |
- Knowledge of the online travel industry
- Working knowledge of Linux/Unix and LAMP stack configuration
- Experience with Zend Framework, Doctrine2 or Symfony2 would be a definite plus
- Visual design skills (e.g. designing interface mockups with Photoshop)
- An active interest/knowledge of Linux/Windows server/system setup and maintenance
- a desire to innovate
