We’re looking for someone who loves to write PHP and who thrives on working with a small, yet growing team. Someone who wants to “own” a big piece of a product that is used by developers and paying customers around the world. We have a ton of cool new features on our roadmap that need to be implemented as soon as possible.  In regular releases, you will be making immediate and significant contributions to Mashery’s success.

Why Join our Team?

• We have fantastic customers, including Netflix, The New York Times, Best Buy, etsy, Reuters and 70+ more!
• We've been called “One of the coolest companies you’ve probably never heard of” by ReadWriteWeb
 and named “One of Ten Web Startups to Watch” by Technology Review
• We're a team! We work hard, respect one another and enjoy working together
• We're helping companies grow their businesses, innovate, and gain more brand awareness
• We have a smart, fun team and a great location just off Union Square in Downtown San Francisco
• We’re changing the way companies use, manage, and monetize their web services (API’s).
• We’re the first company to offer on demand API infrastructure; we provide companies with a unique combination including developer community tools, security, usage, access management, tracking, metrics, and performance optimization

Skills  to succeed

• Someone who’s intimately familiar with PHP 5 OOP practices (we desire PHP 5 E_STRICT clean code internally)
• Someone who doesn’t necessarily love writing unit tests, but loves what unit tests provide 

• Someone who strives to produce better code every day, and who’s open to new ways of doing just that
• Someone who has passed or is interested in taking and passing Zend PHP 5 Certification. Mashery sponsorship of course!
• Someone that takes pride in their work, loves to troubleshoot/solve create requests, & is passionate about solving interesting development challenges.

Background

• Our ideal candidate will be someone familiar with the pros and cons of SOAP vs XML-RPC vs REST
• Someone who knows what JSON stands for, and why it’s cool
• Someone who cares about documenting their source carefully, and believes in decent commit messages (at least 85% of the time)

Additional desired traits/skills
We’re looking for more than just a code guru, though.

• Someone who understands that we’re a business–so we have to ship to generate revenue
• Someone who can work well with others and who understands that different points of view from their own are not inherently “wrong” 
• Someone who understands that “perfect” can’t get in the way of “pretty damn good”
• Someone who can share and accept suggestions for improvements from team members
• Someone who realizes that what goes into production must fail gracefully on the rare occasions that it fails
