We’re hiring (web app developer required)

Here at mediaburst in Alderley Edge we’ve got some great plans for the New Year.

(But not for you recruitment consultant. Sorry, but you’re not in our plans, so don’t contact us about this.)

Our SMS API is shipping faster than ever before. Florence, our healthcare app is gaining momentum in the NHS. Textburst is finding an audience like never before, and we’ve got a completely new app on the cards.

But, arhhhh!

We just can’t find the time to do all the stuff we really want to do. We need some help, and you might be what we need.

What we’re ideally looking for is a web app developer.

You need to have some (not necessarily loads of) relevant qualifications and experience.

You definitely need to know some languages and frameworks, not necessarily these, but things like PHP, c#, .Net, Ruby.

Knowledge of MySQL or similar database will also be looked upon favourably.

We’re also big fans of wordpress and have a number of plugins available to our clients. If you know wordpress then you’re already in our good books.

But most important is your desire to get involved in something. We’re not just tapping lines of code out, we’re making products that people use every day of their working life. Your ideas and desire to make things better are what we want, they’re more valuable than your qualifications.

So if you live and breathe the web, spend your spare time dreaming of quirky web apps, playing with open source software or mashing API’s on programmable web, then we need to hear from you.

You can help us

What’s it like to work at mediaburst?

None of us at mediaburst are here to pass the time of day and collect the cheque.

Coming to work is a pleasure, we enjoy what we do. We want to make our products better, gain new customers and take good care of the existing ones.

We’re not here until the wee hours, you’ve got a social life and we respect that. We also don’t want you to wear a suit and tie unless you really want to, but then again, if you did, you probably wouldn’t fit in.

Our office is completely open plan, there are no walls or secrecy, you can chip in if you like and share your thoughts. We want you to make a difference to the things we do and the stuff we sell, you can’t do that well unless you know what’s going on.

We don’t have accolades like Investors in People, or bureaucratic review procedures. If you want something then ask, if you have a problem, speak up.

Salary

Yes we’ll pay you, but the internet is no place to discuss financial arrangements, let’s discuss in private.

How to apply

Get the ball rolling by sending us an email. Tell us about yourself, include your CV if you like, show us your twitter or facebook or last FM or Google+ or whatever you’re on or into.

Send us a link to any projects you’ve been involved in or sites you’ve developed.

And, yeah, let’s talk.
