Truth Initiative | Washington DC | ONSITE Inspiring tobacco free lives.

Sr Software Engineer - PHP/Python (generally full stack, but light on the frontend development)

I posted this a few months back, but have yet to fill the position. We've been having difficulty finding PHP developers who are engineers and not wordpress/drupal tinkerers (no offense, just not what we're doing). We're looking for people who build applications from the ground up, fully understand and can leverage OO principles properly, and who stand out in one area, frontend, backend, sysadmin, or anything really.

Hiring process - Resume, 30 min phone call, Take home code exercise (2-3 hrs), in person interview with Dev Manager, Product Owner, and developers.

This position will join a recently expanded small team (was 3, now 5) of all senior level developers to work on the flagship cessation intervention of the foundation. With secure internal funding, we plan to overhaul the becomeanex.org website to make it a powerhouse in smoking cessation. We will be replacing/upgrading every aspect of the site including cms, community platform, web framework, design, tools, and content in order to leverage the knowledge we've gained in performing grant funded research on the platform over recent years. Truth is a great place to work (we have amazing benefits), that does great things.

I'll post to this thread because this is very relevant for the hiring companies. Hunter and Schmit did a meta-study of 85 years of research on hiring criteria. [1] There are three attributes you need to select for to identify performing employees in intellectual fields. - General mental ability (Are they generally smart) Use WAIS or if there are artifacts of GMA(Complex work they've done themselves) available use the…

"Smart and gets things done".

Yes, but this is a quantitative way to measure those things.

"Smart and gets things done" leaves the door for touchy feely interpretations, which leaves the door open for gaming the system.
