NYCPHP Meetup

[Amy Knapp]

Ning in Palo Alto CA is an online platform for creating your own social
networks for anything. The company was founded by Marc Andreessen and
Gina Bianchini and currently hosts the largest number of social networks
on the Internet.  We use PHP and Javascript on top of the Ning Platform
REST APIs to deliver an extremely friendly and infinitely customizable
experience to Network Creators on Ning.

 

We're looking to add an Application Developer to our team. You'd be
full-time in Palo Alto or at least come here a lot.  Our Application
Development group is a small, flat organization populated with people
who are passionate about creating beautiful software used by millions of
people in their daily lives.  

 

Responsibilities:

-Play a key role in designing and executing new features on Ning's
"killer app" - Your Own Social Network for Anything. Projects may
include work on photo sharing, video sharing, discussions, blogging,
events, OpenSocial applications, and wikis features as well as new
features entirely. 

-Work in rapid 2-4 week development cycles. 

-Collaborate closely with design and product management to ensure that
the feature achieves the goals laid out for it. 

 

Qualifications:

-BS/MS in CS or equivalent experience.

-Experience with PHP, AJAX, and HTML/CSS.  

-Java or C++ or object oriented design experience.

-Experience programming scalable web applications.

-Knowledge of web services, and agile development methodologies desired.


-Know your way around Flash. 

-Curiosity. You've created a social network on Ning. You dive into a bit
more detail and are struck by the Ning Content Store and why we chose
that architecture. You have lots of technical questions for us. 

 

** Although we would prefer employees to work at the Palo Alto
headquarters, we will consider non-local candidates.  We also offer
relocation.  Please let me know if you are interested.  Thank you!
