I am backing an edgy little content company in New York City that needs their first full-time tech lead. This is an opportunity to get in at the ground level of a rapidly growing web property, which already has tons of sweet press, sick and steadily growing traffic, and some very passionate users.
Required characteristics:
- Expert knowledge of PHP 5, DHTML, CSS, and JavaScript
- Ninja skills with relational database design and deployment for dynamic DB driven sites using MySQL 5
- Deep comprehension of HTML design capabilities and constraints of various platforms and browsers
- Minimum of 3 years of strong Object Oriented design and programming experience
- Familiarity with MVC/tiered architectures
- Fancy front-end chops (AJAX)
- Experience with Apache, SVN, SSH, etc.
- SEO know-how
- Understanding of ad-serving and optimization
- Start-up hunger and ambition
- Strong preference that you are located in NYC. Remote superstars will be considered nonetheless.

Keeping the lid on the property name for now until the site that YOU build gets relaunched, but it isn't porn, gambling, nor an outpost for fascist propaganda. That said, this site is extremely cool, currently being courted for acquisition, AND chicks dig it. I am quite willing to bet that working with these guys will get you laid.
Come one, come all with the resumes/URLs.
Let the guessing games begin!
Seriously though, I think we're all trying to hire the same person. We just put up a similar job posting on Friday. How can we compete with you?! :-P

We could use one of those too, located here in Gothenburg, Sweden. And we've got a city full of Swedish girls here ;-)

Well said, such a person should be a good sentence, or the future will be more rampant.

In the meantime, welcome to all the new Microsoft search bots that I am sure this post will attract

I read this sentence out loud to a group of engineers from my team at lunch the other day and they cracked up like I did.

talk about Oregon. It had a rhythm that kept me focused and didn't allow me to go numb at any point.1
