Come for the Ride…

I hope this isn’t an invite for spam from the unqualified…

After getting a great start on our phase 1 technical development, we are now looking for a new technical lead to take what we have already established to the next level.  The ideal candidate should have previous experience working in a startup, (meaning you know this is high speed and low pay) and would be willing to work for part equity and negotiable pay.

Below are some the requirements for what we’re looking for:

Required:

Deep understanding of LAMP (Linux, apache, mysql, and PHP) development
Deep understanding of Linux server management with enterprise level experience (multiple servers, tightened security, load balancing, etc.)
Deep understanding of HTML, JavaScript, CSS, ajax, XHTML, RSS/XML
Some understanding of Amazon Web Services including EC2 and S3
Some understanding of Sphinx Search, or be able to learn it quickly
Basic understanding of SEO and online marketing stuff

We prefer someone with a genuine interest in working with web 2.0 websites especially one who is interested in all types of web 2.0 services.  Unlike traditional classifieds, we’re looking to do something different so if you play with various web 2.0 services or have worked with Facebook, Twitter or iPhone API’s, we want to hear from you!  We also prefer someone who has managed websites with high volume in the past because we’re looking for someone who understands scaling and design for scalability.  Most importantly, the candidate needs to pick up exactly where we left off.  (If you can only code by starting from scratch using parts of old code you had written for other projects, please do not apply.)

Last but not least, we would like someone with SSL or e-commerce experience and someone who is a self-starter that works well with a team.  Ideally, you can anticipate problems and solve them before they become huge bugs.

As far as hardcore development, we’re only anticipating about 3-4 more months of work before the site is “complete”  After that point, it will basically be maintenance and minor upgrades so if you’re a ninja hacker, and this interests you, please shoot us a message.  Here are our previous messages seeking php programmers: 1st time, 2nd time.  Referrals would also be greatly appreciated!  Thanks.
