Established in Montreal in 2004, Koumbit is a non-profit registered
company which promotes the use of free & open source software by
community groups in Quebec, Canada and abroad, and creates a skills and
resource pool for progressive-minded autonomous IT workers and design
professionals.

Koumbit is growing fast, and is always looking for qualified candidates,
willing to join a team of passionate individuals at work in a very
innovative environment.

We are currently seeking a Web developer, in order to further contribute
to the Hostmaster project. Prior knowledge of the Drupal platform is a
prerequisite. The candidate must also adhere to Koumbit's founding
principles, and be a team player ready to get involved in non-technical
tasks, with regards to the administration and decision-making of the
collective.

Participatory economics is the cornerstone of our organization. All
workers are paid the same hourly rate, and also have an equal say in the
way profits are reinvested, since our decision-making process is based
on consensus. We thus expect staff to be creative and dedicated members
of the organization, NOT passive employees.

Required Skills

  • A strong proficiency in PHP and MySQL programming.
  • Experience in programming Drupal modules (or module patches). Please
    specify which one(s) in your resume or presentation letter.
  • General knowledge of CMS implementation and configuration.
  • The ability to meet deadlines and work autonomously.
  • A commitment to act in accordance with our Founding Principles:
    Collective management, Education, Transparency, Copyleft (free
    software), Self-sufficiency, Solidarity, Equity and equality,
    Participatory economics.
  • Strong communicational skills, in a context of frequent & direct
    communications with the clients.
  • Availability to work on a full-time basis is an additional asset.
  • Fluency in French is an additional asset.

Work Conditions

  • 20 hours per week, at the very least. Work time could be extended to
    35 hours, according to the candidate's availability.
  • 3-month contract at the beginning, with possibility of renewal.
  • Hourly rate: $22 CAD.
  • Date of beginning: ASAP.

To submit your candidacy, please send your resume before Oct. 20, 10:00,
to Koumbit's “Comité d'embauche” (embauche@rt.koumbit.net). Please
mention “Poste de webdev (Hostmaster)” in your e-mail title.

All candidates will be subject to the same hiring rules
(http://wiki.koumbit.net/ProcédureEmbauche), although certain steps may
be streamlined given the tight deadlines of the project.
