Local Motors, Inc., Wareham, MA

Local Motors:
Voted "Best Company to Work For" by all 12 Employees, Local Motors (www.local-motors.com) is creating a game-changing experience of designing, building, and retailing cars. Very cool cars. Our web site is central to our business model, as we are crowdsourcing our amazing vehicle designs from the best transportation designers in the world. We are a fully funded multi-million dollar startup, and this is an opportunity to get in on the ground floor. Check out what sites like Wired and Mashable are saying about us.

YOU:
Have you built LINUX servers just for fun? Are you CREATIVE, like to do make NEW and DIFFERENT things? Do you look for web 2.0 sites because you love checking out other developer's innovative solutions? Do you want to be a part of changing the world in a meaningful way? Can you find or write a "module" to cache a home page, and if not, would you be excited to and capable of figuring that out?

Are you positive, supportive and inspiring to others? Do you get things done? Are you independent, and yet take direction well?

You may be a recent graduate with relevant school projects AND endless hours of relevant tinkering behind you, “live” programming in your job, or you may have a couple of years experience under your belt developing the company web site. Either way, you are talented and REALLY KNOW your way around LAMP.

You may be willing to relocate to the Boston area or telecommute. If you choose to telecommute, you will be willing to be flown out to the Boston area initially and spend a month with our Web Architect and, after, on an as-needed basis.

Our playground:
LINUX, Apache, PHP, MySQL, Javascript, HTML, CSS, SVN

Do/are/have you:
- know the difference between '$this' and "$that" in PHP
- handy with GREP and RSYNC
- really get object oriented programming
- performed a LEFT JOIN
- programmed something very cool

And a quiz:
It's 11:00 PM on Friday and you just peeked at the company web site. You realize that the release that your co-worker pushed out yesterday afternoon (bug free) for some reason has now disabled the community section of the web site. What do you do?

Send your resume and a few sentences answering the question above, explaining why you are a good fit and demonstrating your excitement about cars.
