OPEN SOURCE COLLABORATION & INTEGRATION
Working at MindTouch rules. We're building some amazing and amazingly useful technology. Go look at our product demos or source code for evidence. We're accused of being lunatics. Our users are fanatical. We are looking for hard working professionals who don't bruise easily. We offer a competitive compensation package of salary, stock options, health coverage and benefits. We are an equal opportunity employer.
Let's face it - a simple job title couldn't possibly describe your diverse skillset. You're known to your posse as the expert go-to guy for PHP development. You've had experience working with (or even contributing!) to open source projects like Mediawiki, Wordpress, Joomla, or Drupal. To counter your technical prowess, you dabble in the fine arts: throwing together an aesthetically pleasing design in (X)HTML and CSS that works across many different browsers is not a problem for you. An obsession with making the software usable has made you cognizant of the fact that it often takes many rapid iterations of mockups to get to a final, polished user experience. (So when your hard work in making that mockup is trashed, you won't cry). You're a pretty lazy developer, so you know that it's best to rely on frameworks like jQuery, YUI, Prototype/Scriptacuolous for all your Javascripting needs. You write awesome code, create beautiful designs, read Zeldman, think the 37signals guys are usually right (although they've got a superiority complex), understand open-source, communicate well, and hate aardvarks.

Must have hand's on experienced in the entire sales cycle, from leads generation to closing, with particular expertise in selling, maintaining customer relationships and renewing support subscriptions.
