We don’t expect you to be a guru, but we will help you become one. If you are one, then you will have a lot of fun here.

Both of these jobs will include some level of maintaining old sites and making updates, but with new sites we try to push into new territory and they provide an opportunity to really get your fingers tapping the board, exploring new approaches and interaction ideas.

We are prepared to be flexible with these jobs descriptions. If you are a gun PHP programmer and can also do great front-end dev work then we’d love to hear from you, and similarly if you are a great flash dev but have no front-end skills but can code good php.
