Outstanding PHP Web Developer

Fubra is a successful and fast-paced company that specialises in building on-line solutions to assist consumers in finding information that is not easily accessible on the web. We’re currently looking for a developer who can show all of the above and also has a real flair for creativity and problem-solving.

Do You :-

  • Want to become part of a small, lively company where you can really shine and take pride in your work?
  • Love social bookmarking sites (digg, delicious, reddit), blogging, Google map mash ups, AJAX, Google video, Flickr, You Tube and generally everything to do with Web 2.0 but want to build Web 3.0?
  • Think LAMP would beat WIMSA in a fight?
  • Adhere to the DRY (don’t repeat yourself) principle of coding and database design?
  • Relish the challenge of building (cross-(browser|platform|media) )+ compatible code to the highest web standards?

If you have answered yes to all of the above please read on…

Are you :-

  • Keen to show off your skills?
  • Willing to push yourself to the limit?
  • A good all-rounder (HTML/CSS/Design skills as well as PHP/MySQL)?
  • A real team player?
  • Able to have a good laugh with your co-workers?

Every person in our company plays a key role in its success, and after a few weeks you’ll realise just how important you really are! With a starting salary of £20-£25K (dependant on skills and experience) plus up to 10% pension, bonuses and other benefits, you can be sure that you will be looked after well.

Within this position, you’ll be working closely with the content and design teams, and will work under the direction of the directors in a variety of development tasks, focusing mainly on consumer-side development (HTML integration, dynamic design, database integration).

Key technical skills in the role would include:

  • PHP & MySQL
  • xHTML & CSS (Level 1 & 2)
  • Javascript
  • XML and Ajax
  • cURL and Data Mining techniques

If you’re not an expert in all these areas, don’t worry. The important thing is that you can demonstrate a willingness to learn (after all, we want a person, not a machine!)

If you’re still reading and have a genuine interest in becoming an important member of a fast growing company (maybe you’re already in a similar position, but want more than developing things people will never see or appreciate), then you can begin our application process by taking the quick developer quiz.

We promise that all applications will be carefully considered and treated with the strictest confidence.

At Fubra all our staff have access to

Fast computer hardware, Free books, Free On-Site Parking, Flexible working hours, Casual dress code, Smart colleagues, Mini cinema with 7.1 surround sound, Halo3 at lunchtimes on our Xbox 360 and giant high definition projector, Tennis & Basketball courts, Communal kitchen area - and most important of all... Big challenges!

We care about what we do and it shows. As a result we are regularly featured on the national news media from TV, to newspapers, to radio. This means the projects you are working on will not only be seen on the web but will more than likely be exposed to huge audiences on a regular basis. If that's not enough we will email them to over two million people and let you improve them based on the feedback.

How to apply

If this sounds like you, please send us a copy of your C.V. along with a covering email which has links to web sites you have built. You don't need a degree but you do need to be very good at what you do.
