Original posting

London, England. https://www.playfire.com/jobs Small (7) startup in the gaming space looking for software engineers. Are you the one? You are, if you: * Love agile development, working independently on your own challenges, and together in a team on the bigger vision * Are completely fluent in a scripting language such as Python, Perl, PHP or Ruby and have experience with web frameworks and the MVC concept. We don't require fluency in our current technology stack - great programmers can pick up new technologies. * Have used MySQL or PostgreSQL extensively and you know your way around Apache, nginx or other server. It's a bonus if you have good JavaScript skills (we use jQuery) * Get excited by the idea of scaling web apps to millions of users * Are the best developer in your peer group, and want to be at a place where you are constantly challenged and pushed to become better * Get obsessed about the problem you're solving and don't stop until you've cracked it * Have a thirst to learn new skills and technologies, and can pick things up easily * Want to have fun building lots of new features and get stuff done * Are full of positive energy, relish the thought of being part of a small, fast-moving team and enjoy brainstorming about new ideas
