Developer | EchoDitto

Hi there! EchoDitto is searching for outstanding web developers based in either New York, Boston or Washington, DC to join our team of technology enthusiasts and progressive thinkers to assist on a number of exciting, high-profile projects. This position will be responsible for developing innovative Web-based tools for progressive online activism and community building. Our software architects work closely with their strategy architect counterparts to develop specifications and make recommendations on the use of new and emerging technologies. Programming, user interface design and database familiarity are all core elements of this position. Dealing with Microsoft technologies is not.

While we're immediately looking for temporary help, we're also looking to hire full time. All salaried positions at EchoDitto come with excellent benefits and time pre-allocated for catching up with Engadget, Twittering or compiling ncurses for your iPhone (which, by the way, we gave everyone at last year's Christmas party.)

If you're looking to work at a small company that pairs the energy and flexibility of a startup with the stability of a proven, fast growing business, you'll feel right at home with our highly-motivated team of technologists.
What you'll need:

* BS in computer science or a related field, or significant equivalent experience.
* 3 years minimum experience with HTML/XHTML and CSS.
* 2 years minimum Web programming experience, including PHP, ASP or JSP.
* 1 year minimum experience working with relational database systems such as MySQL, MSSQL or Oracle and a good working knowledge of SQL.
* Self-starter with strong self-management skills.
* Ability to organize and manage multiple priorities.
* Ability to lift 30 pounds (or 10 Macbook Airs)

Other things we get excited about:

* Experience developing on and extending popular web authoring tools.
* Experience developing and/or implementing open source software projects.
* UNIX shell experience and a working knowledge of Subversion, CVS or related tools.
* Comprehensive Drupal development knowledge.
* Sweet foosball skills.
* An unnatural love of participatory politics.
* An absolutely ridiculous sense of humor.

If you're interested, either use my personal contact form or apply online. We're looking forward to hearing from you!
