CLOSED - LAMP Developer - Lakewood and Telecommute

LAMP Developer

We seek a part-time LAMP (20-60 hours a month, your option), largely by telecommuting. Candidates must be well skilled in Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP (PERL/Python/Ruby skills a plus). Web frameworks are a plus as well.

While we don't mind if you have some other projects going on, we are not looking for a moonlighter: that is, someone who already has a full-time job from 8-5. You must be able to come into our office in Golden/Lakewood when needed for meetings, so you have to be located within easy reach of the Denver area.

Preferably, we want someone who has already done this type of work and is experienced with remote communication.
