Who we are:
Flocasts/MileSplit is a fast growing, dynamic new media company that is redefining the way people engage in the sports they love. Our technology powers and delivers a totally new way to create, consume and deliver awesome content. We tap into the passion for sports and build great communities around that passion, changing the media landscape of that sport forever. We have offices in Austin, Texas and Orlando, Florida. This position ideally would be located out of our Orlando office, but Austin is also a possibility.
What we need:
We are seeking a Mid-Senior Level PHP Developer with 5+ years of experience. We are looking for folks who have extensive experience building scalable dynamic websites from conception to production. While the primary duties will be PHP focused, it is a real perk to have solid front-end experience with modern and semantic HTML 5, CSS 3, and JavaScript (jQuery). Any other backend skills or languages are a bonus such as Node.JS, Ubuntu server administration, optimizing and migrating MySQL databses, Chef deployments, and Amazon Web Services familiarity.
We like people who are easy going and can work well in a highly collaborative team environment and who can shine in that environment given how good they are. We are looking for someone who knows they are going to make a fast impact in the company that they choose. We value people who don’t mind going against the grain, doing something different and want to be part of a company that does the same.
We are looking for people who can make great independent decisions, make forward progress and be accountable for top level development decisions. The ideal person will make a fast impact in a place where you like the people, love the product, push for results and live for the growth.
