Looking for my replacement (Lead Developer at a Start-up)

[Kurtis]

Hey Guys,

I am the lead developer at fireflie.com. The site is going through a total site-rebuild using Django. I'm taking a research position early next month and need to find a replacement very quickly.

I can't go into too many details without an Non-Disclosure Agreement. I will point out that due to budgeting, this position cannot pay more than $20/hour and will require about 30 hours per week. It's not a substantial amount of money but they're an excellent team to work for. Once completed, this will be a great project to have on your portfolio.

We need someone to start almost immediately so that I can work with my replacement. I need to bring my replacement "up to speed" and make sure they're capable of handling the work requirements. The company is based out of Texas. I live in Ohio. Telecommuting is obviously okay. They are picky about language and cultural barriers because communications is extremely important.

Basic Requirements:

• Python
• Django
• HTML
• CSS
• Javascript
• JQuery
  

Helpful Extras:

• Systems Administration (including DNS)
• Amazon Web Services
• Nginx
• uwsgi
• MySQL
• A Love of Music

Please contact me immediately if you feel you are willing to take on a project of this magnitude and can do so within the constraints of their budget. They pay well and this might grow into a full time opportunity given the start-up succeeds.

Thanks,
- Kurtis Mullins

Hi Kurtis,
Are they giving equity as part of this or is it just a hourly pay?

Hello Hussein,

Thanks a lot for messaging me. At this time, I would only expect hourly pay. There may be an option of equity in the future but honestly I can't make that decision or give you any guarantees on that matter.

We're received several great replies and are in the middle of reviewing applicants. Please let me know if your'e still interested.

Thanks,
- Kurtis Mullins
