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.
