Job Opening: PHP/Javascript Position
February 10, 2005
PubSub Concepts, Inc. (pubsub.com) needs a strong PHP/Javascript developer to maintain and expand our website. This is a technical position rather than a design position.
The PubSub website acts as an interface between users and our software back-end. The website does not perform the actual matching service, but does provide a means of interacting with it as far as creating and manging subscriptions. Much of this work is XML based, so you’ll need to do more than just interact with a database (although there’s plenty of that as well). Since PubSub is a service, there are also many opportunities to build applications that communicate with the website.
This is where Javascript comes into the picture. You should be familiar with making HTTP requests through Javascript, and with creating a rich user experience around them.
In other words, client-side programming skills are just as important as server-side programming skills. Please only send us a resume if you know and understand both and can provide samples of past work.
We’re looking for the following skills and abilities:
- Strong knowledge of HTML, including the ability to hand-code pages
- Strong knowledge of design and layout, both using advanced and traditional techniques
- Extensive PHP knowledge. You should be at a level where you can install and update PHP from sources
- Extensive Javascript knowledge.
- String general coding skills, including any non-php languages
- The ability to separate content from functionality and business logic
- Some database management ability - at least familiarity with creating and modifying tables
The following would also be helpful:
- Familiarity with or knowledge of Linux Knowledge of other scripting languages like perl, bash or python
- Knowledge of Flash
PubSub is located in lower Manhattan. This is a full time position. We cannot sponsor visas or relocation.
Please send your resume as text to jobs@pubsub.com.
