[mdlug] Job Opportunity

[Michael Mikowski]

Hi All:

Help!

My startup is looking for a talented Perl contract developer for our software team. The marketing site is photozen.net, and have a restricted technology preview I will share with candidates.

Telecommuting is required, and the work is currently full-time for set periods, e.g. minimum 30 hours per week for 6 weeks.  We use SVN, an enterprise CMS for tickets and knowledge management, and have well established, written standards.  We are currently working with a team of 3 other contract developers.

The candidate must have OO Perl and Linux experience; and they must have a high-speed internet connection, must be able to connect via VNC, and be willing to make long distance calls.

We are based near LosAngeles, so if you have a friend in the area, we may be interested!

The money is good, and I think the experience enlightening, as we are using some serious web 2.0 technologies.

Again, please let me know if you or someone you know might be interested.  The position is open now.

Sincerely, Mike
