LOCATION - Central London, UK

ROLE - Mid/Senior PHP developer with custom CMS experience...

We’re looking for an personable and creative mid-weight/senior web developer to undertake approximately 7-10 days freelance work. This will involve taking some static templates that have already been built using HTML, CSS and jQuery and creating a brand new custom CMS to support the site. The site and CMS will need to support multiple language and so experience with localisation is also required. Ideally you would use Cake PHP to fulfil these requirements. Editing of the existing templates may be required and/or additional new templates may need to be built and so you will also have strong client-side development skills too. We are keen to get started on this ASAP and get the bulk of the work done before the Xmas break. We hope to choose someone after receiving CV's over the coming week. Initially you'll work on-site at our offices in Fleet Street but we would not be averse to a least few of the days being worked remotely.

REQUIREMENTS

• At least 3 years experience in web development

• Significant experience of PHP as well as CakePHP

• Experience architecting and planning web builds

• A great eye for detail, both visual, textual and in code

• Effective communicator

• HTML/CSS/Javascript/jQuery and SQL should be second nature to you

• Ideally you'll have a good understanding of Git

THE COMPANY

We’re a young fast growing digital agency based in the Fleet St area of London. There are currently 4 of us and we’re hoping to grow to 5 by the end of the year. We’re an easygoing bunch and we share our offices with a larger firm.

REMUNERATION

Day rate will be competivie and depend on the individual

HOW TO APPLY

If you’re interested please send an email to jobs.tinderfields@gmail.com along with a brief cover note containing some links to your work (including github profile) and attach your CV. Don't worry if you've just got lots of GitHub watches and not too many actual projects.

UX Designer @ Shapeways! http://www.shapeways.com/jobs/ux_designer

Shapeways is a marketplace for 3D Printed stuff. We empower artists and designers to 3d print whatever they can dream up in silver, glass, plastic, and eventually any material/color they can dream of!

One of the cool things we're working on right now is a set of tools for people that know nothing about 3D Modeling to make awesome stuff on our site. Here's our NYTM presentation of our new Sake Set creator: http://new.livestream.com/channels/283/videos/42956

We're small and need a rad UX designer to take our site/platform/etc into the modern age.

Hi, you might have heard of the company I work for, Yammer. We were in the news recently, and we're looking to hire in San Francisco. We've got a variety of positions open, but since this is Hacker News, I'll tell you about our engineering team. Every single engineer here is the type of person that can be honest with themselves and others. We like to use tools and technologies because they allow us to build things ou…

You had me at "Yammer is no longer allowed to host events in certain SOMA drinking establishments."

We don't yet have any official pages describing our internship opportunities, but we are looking for interns for the data team and software engineering team for the summer (http://www.factual.com/jobs/software_engineer and http://www.factual.com/jobs/data_engineer are good starting points for what the internships would entail). We are also looking for an MBA Marketing/Business Ops intern for the Winter/Spring quarter. If you'd like more information, please email me at leo -at- factual.com and I can answer more questions and introduce you to our hiring manager. Thanks!
