Hello,
I am new to your PHP users group but glad to find it. My company,
Casey Research, a financial research publisher based in Stowe VT is
growing fast and looking for some great developers to help us build
the sites, infrastructure and ideas that will allow that to continue.
If you know of anyone, maybe even yourself, that is a great web-
oriented Software Engineer fits that bill, I'd appreciate your help
bringing this opportunity to their attention or letting me know about
them.
As a globally distributed company, we can accomodate candidates both
locally (in the Burlington, VT area) or working from virtually
anywhere. Our development team is already distributed across North
America, so even working from home you'd fit right in. We are open to
both full time employment and individuals working as full time
equivalent contractors.
The projects and challenges that they will tackle include expanding
our content management systems to accomodate multiple brands; making
our delivery more mobile friendly and expanding paid products to reach
new devices through ePub, Kindle digital books and other formats;
expanding product features with more interactivity and
personalization; and much more.
Our small team environment is a place where a great jack-of-all-trades
developer can really shine, working on everything from UX to systems
design to commerce to data-warehousing. The job posting is copied
below or available online at

If you are interested in applying, please email
car...@caseyresearch.com. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Alex Daley

SENIOR DEVELOPER
We are seeking an experienced website and systems developer to help us
build best-in-class data-driven web sites, ecommerce systems, and
other critical business infrastructure. Our company is a rapidly
growing direct-to-consumer financial services/publishing firm, and
this role provides a unique opportunity to help shape the future of
our business. In this position, you would be responsible for the
development and/or sourcing, implementation and maintenance of the
systems needed for our next stages of growth.
Candidates for this position must have at least 3-5 years of
experience as a web & systems developer, with proven success and
superior working knowledge of:
PHP/MySQL/Apache environment (although translating from a Ruby on
Rails, J2EE or .NET environment may be possible)
Basic Linux/LAMP administration
SOAP and RESTful web services development on LAMP
HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and related web development technologies such
as Ajax & JQuery.
Object oriented programming techniques
Collaborative, team based development
Experience with the following is preferred, but not required, with the
understanding that developing these skills will be essential to long
term success of the candidate in this position:
Agile development process and test driven development techniques
including use of PHPUnit or similar
Source code control techniques including branching and merging
Drupal development – including custom modules and theming
Database management and data warehousing
Web/marketing analytics systems
Email marketing systems and MTAs
The candidate must have the ability to quickly get up to speed on the
technologies they are not familiar with, and be in a position to
recommend appropriate additions or changes to the infrastructure where
required. This position requires hands-on software development, so
you must be able and willing to both write code and maintain the code
of others.
We offer a small company environment and, as such, every employee must
be comfortable with multiple simultaneous responsibilities and driving
decisions in ambiguous situations. Superior verbal and written
communications skills, and the ability to interface with non-technical
executive management to successfully translate business objectives are
critical. This position may include limited people and vendor/
supplier management responsibilities, depending on the candidate’s
experiences and skills.
Position is available both for onsite work in Stowe, VT or for remote
employment for the right candidate.
