We are looking for a senior PHP developer to join a small team of developers, where you would primarily be involved in the implementation of major new features for, and support of, the web-based application of a high-profile client. It’s an ideal opportunity to get involved with, and help further shape an established business system handling many thousands of pounds a year.

Basic Requirements:

• A strong background in commercial web application development (PHP and PostgreSQL, in this case). Previous experience doesn’t necessarily have to be PHP-based, but the ability to jump into it quickly from another language would be key.
• Familiarity with versioning control - we primarily use Git, and are transitioning most projects from Subversion.
• Strong client and developer level communication skills. Most of your day-to-day client liaising will be via email, so an efficient but friendly style would serve you well.

Desirables:

• Strong UNIX-based systems administration skills, as we also manage the hosting of the above system.
• An awareness of Ruby and Ruby on Rails. A related application is developed in Rails and the ability to dip into it as required would be very useful.
• A willingness to manage other developers both in terms of handling client requirements, and managing their code quality.

What You’ll Get:

• A high-spec Mac for development.
• The freedom to work anywhere, based at least loosely around the GMT day.

You should be an outstanding front end coder with an impressive knowledge of HTML and CSS and the various ways these can be implemented in a wide variety of browsers. Of course, you will also be expected to keep up to date with the latest HTML5 and CSS3 specifications, and be able to advise on what can sensibly be implemented now.

You should have a good appreciation of design and a keen eye for detail. You understand progressive enhancement and strive to ensure UI looks beautiful in every browser, but understand that usability comes before pixel perfection.

The DOM is your friend and you’re a home writing some ground breaking JavaScript. We use jQuery but you should be equally at home without it. You’ll also get the opportunity to work with some amazing software engineers so the ability to speak .NET, C# and ASP.NET MVC would be a bonus.

Benefits of Working for Onalytica:

• Located in Central London (Centrepoint, Tottenham Court Road)
• Working on very exciting projects and technologies
• Opportunity to be recognised as one of the best in your field
• World class work environment and tools (dual, wide-screen monitors, Herman Miller Aeron chair)

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. You will also be tasked with developing entirely new features from scratch, going through an ideas and specification stage, onto design and development and finally into testing and iterative improvements. This process will require you to have your hand in all three pies - database, PHP and front end HTML/CSS/JS.

Our second most used language is JavaScript, so it would help if you have some experience since a fair part of your job will likely involve building dynamic user interfaces. We base our code off the popular and mature PrototypeJS library, and aim for object oriented implementations where possible.

Plus, there’s a chance to get involved with more serious server side scalability and architectural work, including distributed memcached implementations, our high speed custom ORM, database sharding and all sorts of other goodies.
