NYCPHP Meetup

[felix zaslavskiy]

I am thick and tired of these elitist job postings.

Most people who are familiar with my work know I can accomplish pretty
anything. But again my resume would not even pass the small test in this
case.

Maybe the guy who wrote this didn't get the memo that php is relatively
easy language and that its no c++. Its also not so hard to create a web
base report from a database. Its not like you have to create complicated
statistical models.  There is absolutely nothing in this description
that would suggest that its nothing more then an entry-level position
form someone out of school.

Original post
--------------------------------------------
PHP/Web developer 

Right Media is seeking an experienced PHP developer/architect to join
its user interface/reporting team. 

All candidates MUST have significant professional experience developing
complex, database-driven PHP applications. This is a challenging
position and is not suitable for novice or entry-level programmers. As
the application uses a database backend and runs on Unix, experience
with SQL (MySQL experience is desirable) and Unix/Linux is required. 

The developer will be responsible for the creation of a web application
that displays complex, custom reports. Many of these reports are
financial, and will be used for accounting purposes. The developer must
have strong intrapersonal skills and be able to find the ideal way to
implement requirements in a clean, elegant way. Reusable code is
important, using object-oriented design where possible. Functional tests
will be written, where possible, to validate the correctness of the
code. 

Candidates should be able to provide examples of web applications and/or
frameworks that they have developed, to discuss practical and
theoretical consequences of design choices. 


Qualifications: 


*	Professional experience developing/architecting PHP-based web
applications 
*	SQL and a good knowledge of client-server architecture a must 
*	Web page design with HTML, JavaScript, and CSS 
*	Experience administrating Apache in a Unix environment is a plus

*	Proven experience designing browser-based GUIs, writing
usability tests, and incorporating user feedback 

This position is full-time in New York City, NY. This is not a
telecommute or contract position. Salary commensurate with experience.
Right Media is an equal opportunity employer. Email resumes and
questions to ekozek at rightmedia.com.
