Hey all,
Hope it's ok to post this here. Feel free to move or delete if inappropriate.
My company desperately needs an e-commerce web developer. We're not talking "I know some HTML crap" - we need somebody that can do anything and everything.
This company has been outsourcing their e-commerce site for a few years now. It's been killing them, and they finally figured out they could bring it in-house, save a ton of money and have more control over everything.
Unfortunately, we have to maintain the crap-code from the outsourced company prior to developing anything new. So, the first six to ten months will be a bumpy "maintain a pile of ****" phase. We want to re-do everything after some high priority business deals are out of the way with the existing site.
Location is Englewood, Colorado. Local residents only, please.
Must haves:
- E-commerce experience
- Solid Classic ASP/VBScript
- Good .NET/C#, willing to learn
- Solid HTML and web design
- Solid database skills (SQL Server 2000)
- IIS administration
- VSS administration
- Passionate in everything; business & technology
Highly preferred:
- Javascript
- Java/J2EE background, Struts a plus (Weblogic, JBoss, Tomcat)
- Linux G0D (Slack, Deb and SuSE are your friends)
- Apache administration
- Code revision management / release administration
- Good OO programming & methodologies
- Knows importance of seperating "code" from "GUI"
Nice to haves:
- Commerce Server 2000 administration (bleh)
- Oracle
- MySQL
- PHP
- CVS
This company is solid. Internet sales are in the 6 to 7-digits, and that only makes up 10% of total company revenue. They are a product-based company. If I named some products, pretty much anyone on this board will recognize these guys.
This is a sweet opportunity to rein control over a huge part of a successful business, and make it better. TONS better. We are going to have our own development shop where we call the shots on everything.
Right now everything's written in classic ASP/VBScript running on top of Commerce Server 2000. It's a Microsoft shop, but I'm hoping to change that in the near future (hence the Java/Linux preference). We may move to .NET/C# to get the ball rolling first. The IT director is heavy on Microsoft (which is why the corporate LAN is infested with viruses and spam is out of control).
It's a 3-month contract-to-hire if the person does a good job. I started that way and even got hired early. They do this because they have no one here with enough technical background to make an immediate decision.

Looking to build a gold medal team here.
Thanks!

Work stuff: Looking for web developer - contract to hire, CO
I hate colorado. But good job on finding a way to in-source and employ an American instead of some jerkwater from india who couldnt speak english to save his life 
If I actually knew how to do the web-page stuff I'd probably apply and relocate to Colorado despite my hatred of that state...but I wish you the best of luck in finding a qualified employee.
*claps*
Now if only a few other companies would do this....
