Brian Alvey: Web developers: Crowd Fusion is hiring!

Although Craig and Ryan work quickly, we have so much on our roadmap that our two-man dev team needs to turn into six ASAP. Then ten soon after that.

We have more than a dozen projects that we can section off for freelancers to work on and if we find the right people we'll drop them into the platform's core codebase. Ultimately we need full-time developers, but starting out on a part-time project basis and growing into a long term relationship has worked well for me in the past.

Here are more details on what we need:

complete and total PHP and SQL mastery, we are a LAMP shop
experience working on a distributed dev team using svn
good at regular expressions and object oriented programming and optimization, not just one of them ;-)
experience building content management systems
Perl, Python, shell scripting, JavaScript and Flash/ActionScript/AIR expertise are all a plus
someone who works well virtually -- over IM, email and the phone

Like I said in my call for web designers, we all work from home, but we get together every other month for codejams. These meetups generally consist of brainstorming, eating really well, cranking out code and having a good time. Our last codejam was in Philly in December. It was the first one for Crowd Fusion. Previous codejams for Blogsmith and Netscape were in Santa Monica, Orlando, Austin and Westchester, NY.

Even if you're not a match for our team or what we're working on, I know a bunch of people who need both freelance and full-time developers. You can get in touch with me via my contact form or leave me a comment with your details.

Wow, you really know how to tempt a geek, don't you ... :-)

I wish I weren't already in the middle of a bunch of different commitments already. I'd possibly put in for an opportunity to hack with you guys, if you'd have me.

Good luck--hope you find the rockstars you're looking for!

I can attest to the fact that working on an Alvey-style dev team is a blast.
