P’unk Avenue

Things are moving pretty fast lately on our corner of E. Passyunk and Federal. Apostrophe is rolling along at a full clip and we have all sorts of other exciting projects we're in the midst of. Olivia Rabe recently joined the team to work closely with our clients on issues of content strategy and Apostrophe support. We're even beginning to expand our studio space into the adjacent building.

If this sounds at all interesting to you, the best news is that you might be able to help us fill some of our new space: We're looking to make another addition to the team so we can continue to build these amazing applications and still go home on time. Right now we are looking for a new developer, somebody who would assist in the creation of new Apostrophe features and collaborate on development of products for our clients.

If you think you might be the right fit, or know someone who is, read on after the cut.

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 Apostrophe, an open source CMS built on top of the Symfony framework.

We are eight people looking for another developer to add our team. Since we are a small shop 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. Your role would involve a high level of collaboration with the entire team as you help us see projects through from designing and prototyping to development and deployment.

Our ideal colleague meets several of these criteria:

Fluency and comfort with PHP & MySQL A deep and practical understanding of MVC frameworks (Ruby on Rails, Zend Framework, CakePHP, Django and CodeIgniter all apply, but experience with Symfony is especially desirable) A working knowledge of ORMs such as Doctrine, Propel or ActiveRecord Gets excited about things like web services, rapid prototyping and 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 tough problems A sense of humor and an ability to stay cool under pressure

This job does require you to work out of our (awesome) 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 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.

Interested?
