Business/Data Analyst

treepour — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 12:57:26 -0800

Rapidly-growing and profitable internet company with oodles of high-quality data to mine seeks a business/data analyst who's not afraid to get her or his hands dirty turning raw data into insightful and business-intelligible reports. And the data is indeed very raw: this job will involve coding sql, python, bash shell scripts, perl, etc. If the idea of querying Oracle directly via command-line sql scares you away, this job isn't for you. On the other hand, if you've got sound business sense but are still geeky enough to get a thrill from coding, then this may be just the right spot for you. Benefits include full health/dental/vision, stock options, a fun and engaged culture, friendly coworkers, a chance to make a real and personal impact on the company's strategy, free catered lunches every day and free 24/7 snacks galore, an opportunity to work with cutting-edge database and data mining technologies, and free Caltrain passes and/or private shuttle to and from San Francisco. No need to apply with a resume right now -- please send a brief description of why this job sounds interesting to you and/or any questions you might have. Thanks!

I work for a cool company. I want to share this space with a clever MeFite. We work at the San Francisco outpost of our e-commerce mothership back in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Despite having midwestern origins, our office culture is very west coast. On any given day a small handful of folks show up, make things together, become friends then go home -- leaving the typical politics, stress and overwork up to the folks back east. My coworkers are smart, humble, exceedingly competent and some of my closest friends. We're not a clique, none are hipsters and all have a smashing sense of humor and charm. Our engineers aren't shoved off into a dark hole to churn out software like typing monkeys. On the other hand, none of them are Jeebus or regarded as such. We don't feed egos, nor do we coddle the introverted. The pay is great, widely negotiable. The benefits are astounding, including quarterly profit bonuses and a health plan that'd render Michael Moore speechless. Our vacation days total in around 16/year for new hires, but we also work flex hours and can generally take every other Friday off. Check out the following job description, but know that we'd love to hear from Jr. Engineers as well. If you can't hit all of these requirements, so what. Throw your hat in and enjoy the result. Senior Software Engineers at Fry are charged with leading development efforts for engineering projects undertaken on behalf of our clients. This process consists of synthesizing functional and technical specifications to develop Web applications following Fry standards for coding, documentation, design, and security practices. Senior Software Engineers mentor Software Engineers to help them develop their skills and abilities. They collaborate and work closely with Project Managers, Development Managers, and System Architects. This position is integral to the success of the team and Senior Engineers must actively participate in both internal and external (client-facing) meetings. Qualified candidates will have experience/knowledge in:

Java and OO development best practices
Working from and creating UML specifications
System maintenance and monitoring processes
Change management and code deployment methodology
Systems integration
Managing multiple projects and deadlines
Delivering exceptional customer service
Working as part of a multi-disciplinary team
Delegating work to others
Assessing the progress of development
Participating in code reviews
Have strong written and oral communication skills
Project scoping and estimation
Transactional systems (preferably commerce)

Required Educational and Experience qualifications:

Movable Type Expert Needed

thewhynotgirl — Sun, 08 Jul 2007 13:55:31 -0800

I need someone who knows movable type like the back of their hand and can write me out step by step instructions for simple movable type questions, such as: If I use a three-column template from http://www.thestylearchive.com ... how do I customize the right-hand column so that I can toss my html code into that column? Or exactly what do I click if using SmartFtp? They have what looks like a great visual tutorial, but by step #2 the visual is different from what I downloaded and the tutorial is just speeding along! I have reached a point where I would rather look stupid and pay someone to stop me rather than just keep being stupid with no end in sight! So! I'd like to be able to email you simple questions like that from time to time and know that you will have the right answer easily. There are other programs whose help files frustrated me, although I "get it" quite easily once someone shows me ... so a big plus would be if you felt confident that you could read the manual on other, unfamiliar, software programs and extract the answers for me as well. I think they'll usually all be "duh!" questions like the example. As for pay, I'm open to your suggestions, but think being able to pay you via paypal, per question or time period or page or whatever would work best. Thanks for reading!

Web developer in South-East England

bwerdmuller — Fri, 15 Jun 2007 08:08:23 -0800

Hey! We're looking for web developers to work on the next version of our open source social networking framework (and the projects that spring out of it, which are both end-user websites and intranet facilities).

We are:

An innovative Oxford based start-up, hard at work bringing social networking to business, education, non-profits and anyone we can make more efficient.
Committed to open source software and business methodologies.
A friendly and relaxed, but driven, small team.
Interested in dynamic people who bring something new to the table.

You are:

Creative but level-headed.
Both able and willing to clearly share your own ideas as well as listen to and discuss other people's with an open mind.
A genuine web user who understands net culture, is excited by the medium and sees its wider implications.
An old hand at programming for LAMP environments, with some experience of object orientated methodologies. Bonus points for additional experience with any of CakePHP, the Yahoo! UI library or similar, and IIS. We care much more about what you've done than what certificates you have: show us the web apps you're most proud of.
Friendly and relaxed, but efficient.
A fluent English speaker.
Happy with both telecommuting and working from the office.
Willing to work at a company called "Curverider", with a largely non-violent attitude towards people who use words like "folksonomy".

To apply: Send us your CV, preferably in PDF or a common wordprocessor format, to us at info@curverider.co.uk. Also include a brief covering letter about you, a website URL that represents you (eg a Facebook profile), a web application you've written and the answers to these six questions, including as much or as little detail as you think is necessary:

Describe, in English, a simple user login mechanism, including potential security risks and how to overcome them.
What is AJAX? How does it work? When shouldn't you use it?
Explain inheritance.
Pick three community websites and describe their relative merits.
What, for you, are the most important aspects of a web application?
Register with http://eduspaces.net/ and explore the system. How would you improve it?

Web programmer needed to upgrade band site

ludwig_van — Tue, 05 Jun 2007 16:37:13 -0800

I have a web site for my music. It's nice, but it needs a bit of whiz-bang web 2.0 functionality added ASAP before I go on tour. Please contact me for details. I don't imagine it will be that much work, but what do I know. I'm a poor artist, but I'm willing to negotiate a price after you evaluate the scale of the job. You should know PHP, RSS, CQB, THC, and BBQ.
