[Ed Lea]

Hi All,

Thanks for the previous advice on hiring. I've got the green light to  
get started, so here it is!

I'm looking for a PHP / MySQL developer to join http://www.edleadesign.com 
  . I work on both client projects and self-commission projects / web  
apps. Yes, currently it's a one-person-company! This is for a  
permanent position in UK near Leamington Spa / Coventry.

For client projects, knowledge of PHP MVC frameworks and RAD is  
essential. You will be working with frameworks such as Seagull, Zend,  
CodeIgnitor, Drupal, Wordpress and many others. Your role will be  
server-side development focused and you will work with other front end  
developers who will create javascript/html/css. Although your primary  
focus will be back-end development, a good knowledge of html/css/ 
javascript will be beneficial and in all likelihood you will be  
comfortable with these languages.

Internally commissioned projects are a little more experimental. There  
are currently two active sites:

http://www.artflock.com
http://www.soopsee.com

They integrate with APIs from sites like Facebook, Twitter, Flickr etc  
so you will need to have experience with using APIs and preferably  
oAuth.

Most of your time will be spent coding PHP (5) and MySQL that will be  
delivered to thousands of people so good understanding of caching and  
performance techniques will be preferable. Linux/sys admin/apache  
configuration skill a big plus.

For this role I am looking for someone with a passion for web  
development and programing, you do not need a huge amount of  
experience but you have to be interested in experimenting with code  
and familiar with the latest trends and techniques.
