Web Developer

 

ERE Media, Inc., the leading B2B media company providing information and
community for recruiting professionals, is looking for a web developer to
help take our web site ( <http://www.ere.net> http://www.ere.net) and
services to the next level. 

The web developer will be one of the primary technology, programming, and
web experts at ERE. We're looking for someone who is well versed in a wide
array of programming techniques and languages, someone who is innovative and
willing to become a leader in technology advancement at ERE, and someone who
is ready and able to handle many of the company's programming and IT
initiatives. Working closely with the development team, the web developer
will be integral in creating and implementing all new development projects
and for upgrading and improving upon existing features. 

This is a role that will primarily involve developing emerging concepts and
beta products to be exposed to the public via the website. This is a
leading-edge position and requires the candidate to be technically very
strong and up to date with the latest web application development standards
and trends. 

ERE is a small enough company that you will almost instantly see people
using the products you help develop -- and your efforts will have a major
impact on the bottom line. The atmosphere at ERE is highly entrepreneurial;
a talented person will have the freedom to innovate and drive development.
To that end, we are looking for a person who will understand our business on

* Generating creative technology solutions to issues ranging from customer
service and order management to community development and content delivery 

Requirements 

The requirements for this position are as diverse as the responsibilities.
While no single requirement below is a "must have," some degree of
familiarity with all of the requirements is essential. Most important is the
ability to learn and embrace the new or unfamiliar, the willingness to work
hard, and -- above all else -- the drive to GET THINGS DONE. 

Requirements for this position include: 

* Minimum of two years experience in developing web (or related)
applications 
* Degree in CS or related field 
* Proficiency in developing and configuring all aspects of LAMP (Linux,
Apache, MySQL, PHP) 
* Knowledge of relational database structure, management and optimization
techniques 
* Knowledge of principles of object-oriented programming, MVC design
patterns, and web development frameworks 
* Willingness to learn quickly, adapt to change, and constantly upgrade your
