My company is looking for an experienced web developer familiar with Drupal to join the company on a permanent basis in South East London, England starting immediately. Pay depends on experience, ranging fom £25,000 up to £35,000 for an exceptional candidate.

The job will involve working on both Drupal and non-Drupal sites, working alongside a team of 2-4 other developers on a daily basis in an office environment (home working also considered). You will also have direct access to the managing director, and will be able to develop your own ideas if you can prove them to be profitable to the company.

In order to give back to the Drupal community, my company will strongly consider the possibility of a successful candidate being paid, as part of the salary, to work on core drupal code (i.e. open source code) at least one day per week. (i.e. paid to do work not directly related to my company)

Minimum skills required:

- Expert PHP
- Expert MySQL
- Good HTML, standards compliance important
- Basic Apache
- Basic Linux commands (ls, pwd, tar, top, tail, head etc)
- Experience with Drupal
- Basic CSS, including making tableless designs
- Basic JavaScript

Also beneficial:

- PhotoShop or other graphics packages
- A design flare
- Office Networking
- MySQL administration (starting/stopping a server, backup and recovery, optimizing tables etc)
- Being general whizz/guru with computers

To apply for this role, please contact me through this site with a maximum-3-paragraph introduction. I will then reply request a CV and further details if required.

Regards,

Jake Gordon

Ideally we're looking for a native UK resident. However, if a candidate applies with exceptional skills, particularly in relation to Drupal, then we can hopefully make necessary arrangements.

However, the successful candidate will need to move to around London if they get the job, even though there is a possibility of some home working. Basically, we'd like you to physically come into the office, at least at the beginning.

It should be noted that if

It should be noted that if there is an exceptional individual who wants this job and can't live in the UK, then it may be possible to make alternative arrangements.
