Are you an Amazing Web Programmer?

Please read this whole post and follow the instructions herein before applying so you aren't immediately disqualified. ;-)

No WordPress!

Can you write and edit code without having to use a bloated framework?

Are you good at tracking down and implementing solutions to obscure problems?

Do you persist until you succeed, and stick with an issue until you beat it into submission?

Are you looking for an opportunity to join a company that is a bit ahead of its time and on the bleeding edge of what is possible?

Frankly, much of the stuff we work on is mundane and boring (we automate business processes), but some stuff is so cutting edge that we often find ourselves out in the weeds attempting to do stuff that has seemingly never been done before, or at least not in the way we need to have it done. :-)

We are in need of some technical help on a full-time basis.

You must be proficient in or at least willing to learn and learn quickly:
Linux server administration (Debian 9 Stretch),
LAMPP stack - Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP, PERL,
Mail Server- Postfix, Dovecot,
Firewall, SSL, & security measures,
HTML, CSS, Javascript, SSI, (you can build good looking responsive web sites from scratch in your sleep),
Analytics, and server scripting.

You are able to work quickly, promptly, and effectively to get and keep the sites up and running properly.

You love to solve problems, and you don't stop until the problem is solved and measures are put in place to prevent future problems of that sort from occurring again.

You are looking to work for a company that gives you the opportunity to constantly challenge yourself, grow, and learn exciting new things.

You want to start with industry standard stuff, then experiment and play on the cutting-edge of what is possible.

Pay is negotiable depending on your experience and on how well and how expeditiously you get things done. Bonuses, perks and raises are handed out at appropriate milestones.

We pay more for good results.

This is a full-time permanent position and specialized training is provided.

You are expected to have a base understanding of the technology and be able to learn new things fairly quickly.

You should also be fluent in English: reading, writing, and speaking.

You would be expected to provide daily code commits and progress reports.

So you have to have a reliable, fast internet connection, as well as a good computer with an up-to-date browser.

Any questions?


While we expect your technical and programming skills to be up to par, and you can prove it with the small paid test project we assign you.

A big part of this job is being able to think and communicate effectively with others, especially as we don't have time to create all the formal specs and stuff that programmers usually look for.

If we had the time to do that, then we wouldn't need you as we could just finish it on our own.

So you need to be able to grok a situation quickly and work effectively with relatively little input from us.

We are looking for someone who can ask and answer the question "Why?" and that once they understand the situation and the answer to that that they can figure out the "What?" and "How?" with minimal input from the boss.

If you are selected, you will have a great deal of freedom and power while still getting whatever support you need.

Make your letter fun and engaging and let a bit of your personality and who you are shine through.

Thank you for your time and consideration!

God bless you.
