Role: direct, hands on, design and development and coding. Ownership of large features/services and a key role in setting the technical direction of a (future) great company.

Experience: we are looking for talent over experience, and for “respect for the craft and love of the trade.” A craftsman and a hacker. 2 – 5yrs experience and an orientation to Linux, scripting languages and web tech(css, ajax, etc). Please no Java, .NET, C# or Windows 2003 experience.

We are in stealth mode, but will be very open with the right candidates so they have all the information they need to make a decision about their careers. As a team, there is a lot of passion for our business and our mission, and we want our next developer to share that passion. But deep love takes time, so we’ll save the rah-rah. We are confident however, that the right person, when explained our business will see a lot of indications that they could really get behind this.

Email for immediate consideration. Please send your existing resume or cv and do not worry about writing something up- we wont take it as an indication of your work ethic or your “attention to detail,” or whatever people do these days. The profile of the person we’re looking for is immediately apparent, so no need for the frills.
