Ach, I’m not looking for arrogant gits, but if you’re a good developer, you’ll know it. Right now I need good developers and programmers like I need clean air to breathe.

We have a decent environment (in Bristol) in which to write software. It’s not perfect; it’s a bit busy, but we care and say thanks, and the people are ok and I reckon that counts for a lot. We also have version control and testing and decent chairs and lunch, a lack of fear and no pissy politics.

I’m not going to play CV skills acronym bingo (believe that’s a game for recruitment consultants); good developers and programmers get stuff done without needing ‘a year’s experience of this’ or ‘three year’s experience of that’.

Here’s what needs to get done:
- build some internets pages. Our internets pages generally use extensible hypertext markup language and cascading stylesheets There may be other ways to do it, but we’ve found these ones are pretty good and not too much hassle. We’re also using some javascript, which seems to suck less these days.

- make some python applications. Generally python doesn’t suck. That’s something. We use it to try and make apps that don’t suck, for business reasons that don’t suck.

- query some databases. They happen to be MySQL flavour. They could have been something else, but that’s what they are. I figure it’s an implementation detail compared to designing efficient queries.

There’s a bunch of things to get done right now. There’ll probably be some more things to do after that. Stick around until you’re bored of us. Sound interesting? Drop me a line andy@teamrubber.com

cheers,

Andy

UPDATE 26th Oct 2009: right now we’ve found all the peoplc we need, so we’re not looking to hire permanently.  But we like meeting people and who knows what  might happen in future?  Feel free to get in touch anyway.
