Developers

We are looking for two PHP developers, one senior and one intermediate level, to work on a full-time basis for an exciting project with one of our country’s biggest primary industry organisations in Auckland.

You'll be working on leading-edge development with our open source SilverStripe CMS & Framework, so you will need to have a solid understanding of SilverStripe development and Best Practices. We're looking for excellent PHP developers willing to dive into SQL, Bash and other programming languages with diligence and eagerness. Ideally, you will also have TDD and strong OO design skills. We want someone who will thrive in a fast-paced environment, working close with our clients and colleagues to create fresh web goodness.

Here are the specifics of what we're after:
