Backend PHP, Drupal, MySQL DB Developer

DESCRIPTION:

• Saforian is a small, professional creative firm located in Northern Virginia. We are growing our team and looking for a talent.
• Our flexible services focus on high-quality design, standards-based front-end code, and open source back-end development. We have a large variety of clients ranging from non-profits to restaurants to large corporations. Most of our exciting new projects are utilizing Drupal as the core CMS. Your role would be our primary back-end developer on these client sites: configuring Drupal, customizing existing modules, and creating custom ones when needed. You will also help define requirements for new projects, and take the lead in planning and developing new small-to-midsize PHP/MySQL web apps (outside of Drupal) for clients.
• Being a creative firm, you will need to have a decent eye for design and coordinate with our visual and interface designers when developing user-friendly sites.
• We do not have a central office, so you will be able to work independently from home. Preference will given to someone in the DC metropolitan area so we can still meet occasionally.

REQUIREMENTS:

• Strong experience with professional and best practice PHP development.
• Advanced experience with Drupal custom module development (theming experience a plus).
• Skilled with multiple database systems, MySQL required, MS SQL or Oracle a plus.
• Experience with LAMP based server required.
• Experience with integrating with 3rd party systems (MS SQL, Facebook, Twitter, etc) is a plus.
• JavaScript/jQuery experience desired.
• Develop and test secure, clean, and well-commented code.
• Familiarity with Windows based servers a plus.
• Able to communicate and play well with our visual designers and front-end coders to ensure output is beautiful and user friendly.
• Decent web standards knowledge (HTML, CSS). You don’t have to be a CSS and accessibility guru… just solid enough to maintain and expand valid templates from our ace front-end coders/themers.
• Able to multi-task on multiple projects at once.
• Can work independently from home and still meet tight deadlines.
• Willing to work up to full-time hours (40 a week) for a small, but growing design firm without a rigid corporate structure or office — set your own hours as long as you get the job done.
• Can communicate well with clients and (if you’re in the DC area) willing to attend meetings.
• Can start right away! We’re hoping for a freelance developer with the availability to work up to a full-time schedule (40 hours). Start on a trial freelance/contract basis so you can get familiar with our company.

Immediate need for Web/Graphic Designer for ongoing work

DESCRIPTION:

• I’m a freelancer that works with nonprofits around the country and I’ve got way too much work to take on at this moment and have work to get started even over the weekend if someone is available.
• But what i’m really looking for is someone to take on some of the overflow that I have. I do work ranging from print, flash banners, email design/coding/testing to website interfaces. You can get an idea of my work here.

REQUIREMENTS:

• The qualifications are this person should be fairly flexible, work quickly and sometimes without much direction. They need to be detail oriented, understand UI design and have a clean aesthetic. Someone that understands the capabilities of JQuery and other frameworks and working with grids is a plus. Anyways, you get the picture. I use Basecamp so being familiar with that is a plus. Also using a Mac would be a plus for font/file compatibility.
• An example of a project I have now is where I have the homepage and interior page designed, but need a few more pages designed with the look/feel applied.
• I’m ready to go when you are, so send over URL’s, samples, contact info. Ideally, this person is another freelancer that isn’t looking for a full-time job because I’d like to find someone that can be available for more work. I do work with nonprofits and I’m just another freelancer, so cost will definitely play a factor. But you’ll hopefully have steady work and doing work for good causes!
