Two weeks ago, we launched a business, one we're going to use to build the team and a live testbed for Deeptag. Things have kicked off fast with enquiries though and we need your help.

The business is called Sitefire and produces high quality, bespoke, content-managed websites for businesses at fixed, reasonable prices.

I meant to write a little more about our reasons for building Sitefire and more about the technology under it but events are beginning to overtake me and the volume of enquiries means that we need another developer pronto.

N.B. if you know anyone else who might be interested in this position then please pass it on!

Contractor required to work onsite in London

If you've been reading this blog for a little while then you know me and you know the type of code I stand for. We're interested in people who love great code and great architecture and who aren't language fascists.

The core work involved at this stage is going to be:
  • Developing connectivity into the Flickr API's for generating galleries
  • Developing connectivity into the Google Spreadsheet API's
  • A little bit of Wordpress hacking
  • A little bit of Javascript dev.
We're moving into an office in either Clapham or SOHO next week and am currently interviewing designers to come on board as soon as we're in. We currently need someone for about two weeks although as you'll see below, we'd also like to groom for full time.

If you're either able to come and do a bit of moonlighting outside your normal job or you've got some availability and can work onsite or you know someone else that could do either of these things then we'd love to hear from you. We'd rather get someone who can be present in person so as to cut down on comms-time.

Please get in touch with me either by email - peter at sitefire dot co dot uk or fill in the online application form on the website.

We've used PHP/Wordpress (heavily modified) to get the business up and running as quickly as was possible but we'll be swapping this out for a much cleaner, smarter and simpler architecture as soon as possible.

Full time making good money / writing great code?

If you think you might be interested in a permanent position developing really interesting apps and being paid well for it in a month or two's time then it would be great to start chatting now.

We've no intention of staying with PHP and am planning on moving to Python/Flex2 and possibly Berkely XML DB for the proper development. Those of you with experience with Django/TurboGears/Twisted would be particularly welcome.

Please do get in touch. - peter at sitefire.co.uk
