***PLEASE DO NOT REPLY IF YOU ARE NOT NEAR THE SACRAMENTO/DAVIS area. ***

We will need to meet in person once weekly for informal group meetings so we need someone LOCAL, thank you.

TELECOMMUTE. Need solid commitment of around 20 hours a week.

MUST HAVE A FRIENDLY EASY TO WORK WITH ATTITUDE. We are really easy going and not interested in big egos or people who can't get along easily with others.

GOOD COMMUNICATION SKILLS & RELIABILITY. Since you are working remotely (aside from a weekly meeting), most of our communication will be via IM and email. We need someone who can send a short email status report/update every couple days so we know what is happening.

We need someone who is reliable and available on a System Admin level to troubleshoot any emergencies with the system (they rarely occur) - this is a key facet of the position. We need a senior programmer/admin type person who will be able to log into the system, troubleshoot any problems, big or small, and fix them quickly. So you need to have a solid working knowledge of all general aspects of a large database driven website. The site gets about 5 million page views monthly.

The site sells downloadable digital goods that are supplied by the users, and displays a variety of kinds of data -- the site is geared towards Website Developers.

Not looking for newbies or those who have never worked on a good sized site project before or are learning these things as they go... we need some one who knows what they are doing already.
