OnWired is looking for a few good men, or women, to join our crack team of web designers.

PHP / Ruby Web Developer Wanted in Cary NC
by Tony Chester on 09 Jul 01

Are you a web standards evangelist? Do you despise table-based layouts as much as we do? Can you wrestle CSS into submission and coerce Ruby/PHP to do your bidding? Do you get that special tingly feeling when you roll out a shiny new custom-built CMS or ecommerce platform? If so, please keep reading.

OnWired, a full-service web design/development firm and all-around cool place to work, is on a quest to find our next superstar web developer. We’re looking for someone with a creative mind, a keen understanding of user experience, exceptional communication skills, attention to detail, self-motivation, and the ability to hit the deadline every time.

On the technical side, you should be able to wrangle CSS, XHTML, Ruby, PHP, and SQL along with the occasional Javascript and AJAX. If you’re familiar with MVC (model-view-controller), that’s a huge plus. We’re not sticklers for fancy degrees. We just want someone who can get the job done.

You’ll get to work with a small, highly talented team of people who are incredibly passionate about what they do. We’ve got a full-time gig waiting for the right person in our Cary, NC office, and we really need someone who can hit the ground running.

Now we come to the pay-off. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to send your resume along with the world’s greatest cover letter to HireMe@OnWired.com. Explain your love affair with web standards. Dazzle and amaze us with your past work. Promise us that if we hire you, all of our wildest dreams will come true. If you are convincing enough, we’ll be in touch.

By the way, as we said, this position is based in our Cary, NC office. If you’re not already in town or if you’re not willing to relocate, we’re going to have to pass. If you run one of those outsourcing firms in India, please don’t email us offering to span the globe with your low-cost coding skills. And if you happen to be the widow of a deposed Nigerian military officer, we kindly decline your offer to share your immense wealth with us.

Please include your salary requirements when applying.
