PHP/Java developer wanted

by Zack Newsham

Hello All, I am interested in hiring on a part time contract basis (~10 hours per week) a PHP/Java developer. This position is for an immediate start and would continue for several months. I am offering a wage of between $15 and $20/hour dependent on experience. The job would require working remotely and for the most part independently however I am based in the Waterloo area (I am also a student at the University of Waterloo) and you would need to be available during whatever hours you set yourself (very flexible here) . Any candidate MUST have experience developing applications in core PHP and Javascript (without frameworks), but would ideally have experience with jQuery, Yii and the development of API's. Commercial experience is not absolutely required - but would be preferable, and you must be able to show examples of your work and/or provide commercial references. An additional bonus would be some experience with developing Java applications (both server and client side) and any experience with the SMPP protocol. Preferably you would be available for interviewing this week - with a start date of ASAP. Please forward any questions and resumes to znewsham(a)uwaterloo.ca Thanks Zack Newsham
