You don't need to start out a PHP guru, but you'll have to support this part of the site. *Personal qualities. Speed, intelligence, reliability, high availability, good communication skills and sang-froid. *How we work *We develop quickly, knocking out features in hours or days, not weeks. We value results, not process. *We develop incrementally and opportunistically, assuming that member feedback will change features in mid-course, and that some projects will fail. *Everyone who works for LibraryThing interacts directly with members. *We value initiative and the ability to work alone or in a small team. *We are currently headquartered in Portland, ME--the second floor of a gorgeous three-family along the Eastern Prom--but may relocate to the Boston/Cambridge, MA area. *LibraryThing is more than a job for us. We work long and hard, but not necessarily during normal hours. We love what we do. We want someone who will feel the same way.
