Developer, Developer, Developer

Geoff DiMasi
Founder


We have not yet hired for the project manager/information architect/content strategist position, but we have an immediate need to add another developer to our team...

P’unk Avenue is a web design and development team located in Philadelphia that creates websites and applications for higher education and business clients. We are also the creators of an open source CMS, Apostrophe, built on top of the Symfony framework.

We are five people looking for another Symfony developer to add to the team. Since we are a small team we all get involved in various aspects of each project. We believe that is a good thing and are looking for someone that enjoys being engaged in a project on many levels.

Our ideal candidate has the following experience/interests:
  • At least 3 years working with PHP (including PHP 5 and object oriented programming), or 2 years experience with Ruby and at least one year with PHP 5
  • 1+ year developing in the Symfony framework
  • Using other frameworks such as Zend Framework, CakePHP, jQuery and Ruby on Rails
  • Working knowledge of ORMs such as Doctrine and Propel
  • Building and calling web services (REST & SOAP)
  • Prototyping and releasing on a frequent iteration schedule
  • Using or contributing to open source projects
  • A passion for using Test Driven Development to write tight well tested code
  • A love for collaborating with a small team to solve problems
  • A great sense of humor and an ability to stay cool under pressure
This job does require you to work out of our Philadelphia studio. We have great flexibility in other areas, but we believe that having our team in the same location on a regular basis benefits the websites and products that we create.

Of note, we organize various community events like the Junto and Ignite Philly. We are very interested in engaging in and encouraging deeper conversations about stimulating ideas. The type of person that is also stimulated by thinking and acting on issues they care about would be a good fit on our team. It is not required, but the opportunity to help organize these events is a possibility for any member of our team.

If you feel that you are a good fit, please send resumes and whatever other documentation that you think best represents why we should consider you to: jobs@punkave.com.
