Free Beer in Atlanta

#AKA: Mashery Recruiting at php|works

The company I had pleasure of co-founding last summer is once again on the prowl for top-notch, Zend Certified PHP developers.

We’re taking the hunt for these folks to php|works in Atlanta. Whenever possible, Mashery will be luring the quality developers with free beer.

That’s right: free beer that is free, as in beer.

We’re also sponsoring a lunch on BOTH Sept 13 and 14, as a good coder knows she cannot code on beer alone.

Show anyone from Mashery some proof that you recently took a PHP 5 Zend Certification Exam or are already PHP 5-Zend Certified, and we’ll enter your name in a drawing for a free 8GB Apple iPod Touch.

#Cool, but Why Mashery?

Mashery Aside from the beer and a chance at a kick-ass iPod, why would you care about Mashery?

Well …

  • Mashery is doing demanding PHP work at the bleeding edge of today’s most exciting technologies, such as mobile applications, AJAX and of course, web services.

  • We work with cool tools like Amazon EC2 and S3. And we work them hard.

  • Mashery’s clients represent a growing stable of very high volume web services. We tune our services to shave milliseconds off their runtime, and pound on PHP until it (occasionally) weeps.

… among other things.

After more than a year since co-founding Mashery, I can honestly say that in my ten years of working with PHP, I have never had more fun. The work is very hard, but very rewarding. And, it’s always interesting; as a “smart proxy” operator, Mashery’s engineers are constantly facing new challenges and solving them in creative ways.

Never a dull moment, as they say. That’s Mashery.

#Up for it?

If you’re going to be attending php|works in Atlanta, be sure to look me up. I’ll be there with fellow co-founder Kirsten Spoljaric from Wednesday thru Friday evening. Email phpworks to set up a time to meet with us, or to find out about what our beer and food distribution schedule will be.
