Unique Opportunity: PHP/MySQL Pro—Part-time, Long-term

(If this position is not right for you, please forward this listing to your friends and colleagues.)

Here is an opportunity to join a complex and interesting project that is nearly completed and ready for launch. Your main job is to nail down a few remaining elements so that the launch can actually happen.

The project is a business-to-business membership organization. It combines many exciting features: for example, social networking, blogging and communications. The site has been developed over a long time and with your help it will launch in March. Your work can then continue--indefinitely--as the site adds additional features, fixes bugs and does general maintenance and webmastering.

For the first 2-3 weeks you will need to devote at least 20-30 hours per week. After that time 10-20 hours (or less) would be more likely. You will work from your home, and you can work at odd hours—as long as you can get the job done and communicate occasionally during daytime business hours. Freelancers, students and moonlighting professionals are welcome to apply.

The goal is short term performance - plus - a long-term relationship based on competence, reliability and trust.


Requirements:
You must have solid mastery of PHP and MySQL skills and an understanding of the principles of site and database architecture. The site uses CSS and occasional JavaScript, so you should have good skill with these as well.

You must be a problem solver with strong attention to details. An important part of your task will be to join a project that is well underway and to learn the structure and make use of existing code, styles and functions. You will also be asked to occasionally work with, or integrate code and functionality prepared by, other part-time programmers.

You must have excellent communication skills to provide daily updates by phone and email.

You should be a person of integrity.

You will work from home. If you are located within the Greater New York / New Jersey / Connecticut area, we can meet occasionally.

This project has a small budget until launch and only a slightly bigger budget after launch. So cost is definitely a consideration. If the launch is successful, ....

Attach a resume (MS Word .doc only) and tell me in a cover letter about your interest in this project, as well as your skills, experience, and hourly rate. If we proceed, you will be asked to provide verifiable references.

Thank you for your reply.
