An experienced PHP developer is needed for an exciting new web project in development by a small but expanding online business based in Bristol, UK. The project's main aim is to build a cutting-edge social networking site targeted at a specific sector, to be incorporated with other key elements including an online marketplace, an encyclopedia/wiki, and personal areas where user-submitted data can be uploaded, categorised and shared. Building these elements and drawing them together into a fully integrated, user friendly site will be demanding so only those with sufficient experience who are up for the challenge need apply. In return a very competitive salary package is offered.
You should have a solid development portfolio of active sites, an interest in social networking and a passion for new web trends. The successful applicant for this position will at the outset be working as sole developer so self-motivation and good time management are essential. The position is a dynamic one and has the potential to grow with the success of the project.
Telecommuting is not accepted for this role so you will need to be local or prepared to travel.
