I've been tasked to find a clone of me for the office (Oxford UK), and a mini mee. A scary thought really. Right so you need to be Scottish, like food, and moan a lot about the weather being either too wet or too hot.
If you don't have those skills then possibly your technical skills may do..so here goes.
Senior role:
- 6/7 years plus of commercial PHP experience.
Understanding OOPHP5 in a MVC environment.
Framework experience a bonus, we use symfony/zend, but don't let that put you off.
MySQL, or just know how to put SQL together. Knowing how to use EXPLAIN in your queries and making indexes that work a major bonus.
A preference for Linux over Windows (We can fight distros later), you need to be comfortable installing stuff from source if the need arises.
Javascript framework knowledge, we have standardised on jquery but they are much a muchness.
Happily working in HTML etc
- The ability to slice up PSD templates if the need arises, to valid XHTML/CSS.
XSLT/XML
Agile/SCRUM (Don't worry we've just started)
Test driven development (Ditto)
- A degree in Computer Science
At least 1 year or one project in PHP using OOP methodologies.
Linux command line skills
A keenness to solve problems and an attention to detail
You will be expected to hit the ground running
We have 3 senior developers, a development manager, an account manager and a (very) Junior called Matt who we poke fun at. We also have in the office from time to time a Ukrainian contractor and a French/Italian Contractor. Also we have a boss called Dave who we occasionally poke fun at until he threatens to sack us.
Give me an email, jwards@whiteoctober.co.uk, with your salary expectations and your CV and I'll pass them on to those upon high...otherwise known as "Dave". You may also be able to work out the website from that email address, it's about to get a reskin so apologies for lack of updates to it.
Oh and you must be able to get yourself to Oxford for an interview under your own steam and have the right to work in the UK.
