LAMP Stack Web Dev Freelance

We are seeking a part-time web developer for contract work on an open source code base written in a combination of PHP, HTML, and javascript. It's a fairly typical LAMP-stack system running on MySQL, doing authentication and authorization in normal ways, etc.

The ideal candidate will have experience using Git revision control, bug trackers, and have familiarity with standard open source processes, in addition to coding and debugging skills. This position requires an ability to communicate clearly in writing.

The amount of work is approximately 15 hours per week, with rate to be negotiated based on experience. Our client for this project is a coalition of Chicago neighborhood non-profit organizations, and the work will involve some direct communication with them, mostly around technical matters, for example requesting more information about reproduction recipes for bugs, or discussing enhancements and new features.

If interested, please email jobs AT opentechstrategies.com. We favor candidates who have a visible open source profile — an account on a major open source project hosting site, a trail of participation in some open source projects, etc. If you have those things, please mention them in your CV or résumé.
