Requirements:

* Solid ability in PHP5 website development and optimization. * Experience with MySQL query design and optimization. (optimizing indexes, query analysis) * Ability to work with and edit basic web user interfaces in HTML and CSS by hand (without the aid of a WYSIWYG editor).

Bonus:

* Familiarity with the internal operations of WordPress, creating WordPress plugins from scratch and interacting with all aspects of WordPress's core operations.

This is an immediate opening for a long term, work from home, full-time contract position. Contract rate is commiserate with experience. Please provide salary history and salary requirements. Also, please indicate if you are legally authorized to work in the U.S. and, if you will now, or in the future, require sponsorship for employment visa status (H-1B visa).

We have several projects for this person to work on currently with more on the horizon so ideally this would be a full-time contract position. We'd prefer someone local, but we know that talent is sometimes hard to come by so we're willing to work with someone offsite, as long as you reside in the same time zone (PST), you are available during normal business hours, and you are an individual not a company or company rep.

(I have interned at two American companies and that visa process was relatively painless, which bodes well.) It…
