David Emery OnlineWork for us and them
10 January 2008
I had thought I’d posted about this already, but it turns out I haven’t so here we go: we’re hiring!
By ‘we’ I mean the rather lovely group of independent record labels that I work for, which have such bands as The White Stripes, The National, Adele, Beirut, TV On The Radio, The Strokes, British Sea Power and The Breeders. Oh, and a little band called Radiohead.
Also by ‘we’ I mean the Web Development department. We have small in-house web development team which both handles promotional sites such as artist websites and mini-sites and also internal business systems. It’s this latter side that we need help with – we’re currently building a large internal business system and we need help, so we’re looking to hire someone for a fixed term 3 month contract to work in our London office.
We’re looking for someone to help out with the back-end side of things, and the back-end in question is PHP and MySQL (shock horror!) so strength in both of those is vital. We’re using CakePHP to build the thing in, so any experience in that would be a bonus, as would experience using another MVC framework (like RoR for example).
Good knowledge of semantic HTML, CSS and Javascript would be lovely and if you know what things like Microformats, OpenID and OAuth are we’d definitely be very interested.
So if you, or someone else you know, would be interested in working somewhere really interesting please contact me. Also, as a side note if anyone has any recommendations of good ways of finding people to hire I’d be very interested in hearing them – we’re having some success using agencies but I can’t help but feel their must be a better way of doing it.
