Job opening software developer

We are looking for an experienced software engineer (0.6 to 1 f.t.e., can begin directly) to help develop the Libbit Document Generator.

What you offer:

Functions at or beyond the level of a tertiary education graduate;
Experience with larger software projected;
Finesse in the area of user interface and interaction;
A good grasp of JavaScript (jQuery), CSS and HTML, to build the above;
Thorough knowledge of PHP and XML (and perhaps XSL);
You are not deterred by situations necessitating a complex SQL query, or the manipulation of complex XML documents;
Experience with the manipultion of ODF and OOXML documents is a bonus;
Multiple years of demonstrable work experience relevant to this position.

Why are we looking for you?

Last year the Document Generator grew from a simple “proof-of-concept” into an ambitious, open-source web application with potential. Customers are already assembled at the gate, and there is a substantial wish-list filled with features and improvements. How should we scale up our software into a professional, popular, and user-friendly application? How do we combine custom features for customers with a stable and ready to deploy core version? You may not have all the answers just yet, but you do have a few good ideas about the underlying architecture, innovative user interfaces, accessibility, and …, and ….

What do we offer:

A dynamic, informal environment at a small, no-fuss company, and a chance to contribute to a free software project with thousands of users.

Feel free NOT to drop by if you:

feel that code that was hard to write, should be hard to understand.
are apprehensive about penguins on your laptop.
think that ASCII is good enough for everybody, and aren't to fussy about dotting your ë’s.
have never even heard of Unicode.
