[chiPHPug-discuss] PHP Job Opening

[Richard L. <ce...@l-...>]

Amy Minick sent this to me -- I know nothing more about it:

Pathfinder Associates is looking for an experienced and passionate PHP
Developer to join our application development team. This position will
collaborate with business analysts, interaction designers, and other
developers to build innovative web applications.

We could go into a lot of requirements for this position, but ultimately
what we're looking for can be boiled down into one sentence: We're
looking
for radically strong developers who want to stretch in new directions,
who
can speak and write as well as they email and IM, and who play well with
others.

That being said, we do need to state a few requirements, such as:
§        Knowledge of PHP 4 and PHP 5
§        3+ years PHP development experience
§        3+ years experience writing XHTML, JavaScript and CSS from
scratch
(hand-coded)
§        Firm understanding of OOP programming techniques (classes,
inheritance, variable scope, singletons, factories, structs)
§        Experience with Drupal or other PHP content management software
§        Experience with Movable Type or other PHP blogging software
§        Experience with various frameworks (symfony, cakePHP) and
libraries
(PEAR)
§        Experience with templating (Smarty, Savant, or other) and MVC
application design
§        Unwavering devotion to your red Swingline stapler
§        Ability to travel up to 25%
§        Available to start (somewhat) immediately

These skills aren't required, but they certainly will make you look good:
§        Experience with Linux and Apache
§        MySQL DBA skills
§        Configuration management skills

Why Work for Pathfinder?
At Pathfinder we believe that since you spend one-third of your life at
work, you may as well enjoy it.  We strive to provide stimulating work
for
our employees, in atmosphere that's friendly, challenging and supportive.
Because we're a smaller firm, we're able to notice, recognize and reward
exceptional achievement. Perks of working at Pathfinder include
medical and
dental insurance, tax-free transit benefit, and casual dress code.  The
biggest perk, however, is the recognition that you have a life outside
the
office.

The Fine Print
Compensation will be commensurate with experience. We regret that we
cannot
pay for relocation expenses or act as an immigration sponsor at this
time.
Please, no phone calls.

To Apply
Send all cover letters and resumes to us at ca...@pa..., using
Reference Number 7477 in the subject line.
