At Fatsoma we use object oriented PHP 5, MySQL and HTML/CSS/AJAX to produce the world’s best online promotions platform which is used by thousands of people every day to sell tickets for their events online.

If that sounds like something you’d like to do, we’re looking for PHP web developers who can jump in at the deep end, solve complex problems and who have an eye for user experience and interface design.

Ideally you will be at home editing and maintaining other people’s code as well as extending and improving existing features.
