deviantART!
We're looking for senior (team-lead) and regular developers. It's a PHP job, and we exclusively hire remote workers. We have about 16 developers at the moment, but we're expanding because we have a lot of projects on the backburner that we'd like to get started on.
We only hire people who can do everything. You have to be able to write backend PHP code, HTML/CSS, JavaScript, and SQL. We don't want to have people employed who we can't just point at any problem that comes up. (People do tend to find their own niche, admittedly.)
...unless you're a great search developer, in which case we'll hire you anyway and lock you in a small room where you will never do anything but improve our search. <3 <3 <3
I will warn you that, no matter how awesome you are, everyone we hire spends their first 90 days in the small-projects and bugfixes silo. We think that it's a great way to make sure that everyone knows the code.
Also, it's a 10 year old PHP codebase; we predate almost every PHP framework. We're running an in-house framework. Understand that you will have to deal with varying levels of code. :)

- alnayyir 16y agoMy resume is a website/page, how exactly do I submit that in this resumator thing? Reformatting a website as DOC/DOCX/PDF is a bit absurd.
- drwxrwxrwt 16y agoyou can probably just send a link in a cover letter
- alnayyir 16y agoNo, no you can't. It requires an upload of a PDF/DOC/DOCX in order to submit the form.
- deleted 16y ago[deleted]
- mike-cardwell 16y agoJust an idea, but you'll probably find your time better spent building and submitting a doc, than complaining to your potential future employer.
- alnayyir 16y agoAn employer that only accepts word and PDF documents for my 'resume' isn't one I want to work for. You'd think that'd be clear from my displeasure with their rather factory-oriented submission process. I'm not in need of a job right now, I am poking around because I'd like to have some side work for when I leave the country. Not mandatory by any means. Just an idea, but you may want to get off your high horse and go do something useful other than criticizing people trying to discuss something.
- mike-cardwell 16y agoWow
- mistermann 16y agoIs it safe to assume you won't be using your posting history on HN as a form of character reference? :)
- red_malang 16y ago" I am poking around because I'd like to have some side work for when I leave the country" so you do need a job then, eh?
- reinhardt 16y agoI've passed job ads and headhunter calls that require resumes in Word only or just ignore it and submit in pdf/html/text.
- alnayyir 16y agoSee? I'm not the only one.

- epoxyhockey 16y agoHonestly speaking, if you are getting hung up on a problem as simple as this and can't seem to find a creative solution, YC may not be the best place to look for jobs. I know this sounds harsh, but I really feel compelled to type it.
- alnayyir 16y agoYou've missed the point. I can generate a PDF/DOC in a minute. I can do it programmatically using a parser and a lib. That's not what I'm getting at. The resumator thing is annoying. People make note of far less serious UI mea culpas on here all the time. But when they want a job, they're suddenly willing to tolerate anything. The hypocrisy here is astounding.
- jrockway 16y agoGainful employment is all about trading your tolerance for various things for money.
- bmelton 16y agoI feel like I'm being helpful if I point out a UI bug in another HNer's product, because that might help them to correct it and make it better. I feel like it might be necessary to point out a bug in a product I've tried to use, as explanation for why I don't use that product (when the discussion is topical.) I might be inclined to complain about the Resumator bug, if it so affected me, but only after I've used it to apply to the job I wanted, and definitely not instead of. Regardless of exactly who is being hypocritical, the message you're sending is that the annoyance of using Resumator (a service that DeviantArt did not build) is greater than your desire for this job. If I were the potential employer, I would assume that means one of a few things, all of which are harsh: - You're too lazy to submit your own resume, and would prefer someone contacted you in whatever manner most convenient to you - You're too good to submit your resume, and would prefer someone contacted you in whatever manner is most convenient to you - You don't like the job that much, but would definitely take a paycheck if someone who was willing to do the job for you would also pay you as though you'd done it - You're FAR too detail-oriented, refusing to lower yourself to the standards of a poorly designed resume submission method. You can extrapolate out the rest if you like, as an exercise to the reader. For what it's worth, I don't necessarily believe any of those things, but one of those is the impression I got reading your previous posts in this thread. Yes, submitting for a job is an annoyance, and can be time consuming. It's part of the process.
- fletchowns 16y agoFile->Print->PDFCreator. Takes like two seconds. Maybe 20 seconds if you don't already have PDFCreator installed.
- ciupicri 16y agoAnd lose the links.
- RDDavies 16y agoSent my resume over this morning.
- kin 16y agoYour tech stack is right in my alley. Sending resume over now.
