We prioritize proven work, so please make sure to submit work samples with your application (links to live projects preferred). You'll probably need at least 2 years full-time experience in a front-end development role to meet the qualificaitons below, but we're not opposed to hiring a prodigy.

* Have experience with Facebook Connect, Twitter Login, OAuth, etc

WordPress, Expression Engine, and/or Drupal is helpful
* Have a basic understanding of PHP or MySQL (but your primary
