Before frustrated subscribers ask – yes, they’ll be a dedicated Rolled.at blog for this stuff eventually. I figured I’d post it up here as I’ve always received replies and better people as a result of posting here rather than on job boards.

I’m looking to bring a Wordpress developer and a Front-end developer for the team. We have a constant stream of Wordpress development and are looking to work with someone based in the UK. He or she must have:

  • A sense of humour, and a love for Wordpress
  • A love for a good sausage roll (the food – someone explained to me the other day it’s a very bizarre sexual position, but let’s not get into that now)
  • Inside and out knowledge of the Wordpress template system
  • A knowledge of too many plug-ins to count
  • Ability to search or even build a plug-in to suit a specific need
  • Ability to solve problems rather than create them
  • Set pricing on a job-by-job basis, or a monthly fee to keep you on full-time
  • Ability to manage and meet several deadlines. Perfect knowledge of English (I’m looking for UK based people here) and someone who can communicate with clients via IM or e-mail very well.

For the front-end developer position I’m looking for:

  • A sense of humour, and a love for CSS/XHTML
  • Ability to create XHTML Strict code in any situation, without falling back to Transitional
  • Ability to produce hack-less CSS compatible with IE6, FireFox 1-2, Safari and Opera
  • Ability to go further back in the browser time-machine if neccesary
  • Ability to re-write existing terrible ‘want to slap the person who did it, table based’ code into ‘nice and pretty’ mark-up
  • Ability to manage and meet several deadlines. Perfect knowledge of English (I’m looking for UK based people here) and someone who can communicate with clients via IM or e-mail very well.

If I fail to receive a application by Monday-Wednesday (depending on when I have time), I will post it around several job boards instead. Applicants should format their e-mails to me as such:

  • Hi, I’m -x- from -x- and I love Sausage Rolls.
  • Here is why you should hire me: -bullet pointed list-
  • Here is my rough set per-job pricing and/or my monthly/weekly hiring fee should you want to choose between the two
  • Here’s what I can bring to Rolled which no-one else can
  • I love you man! -x- (Ok this one is optional)

Looking forward to seeing what I get in my inbox Monday morning.
