Boston: PHP Full Stack Contractor – 6 Months $40/hr

Mike S — Wed, 22 May 2013 17:15:41 +0000

The leading provider of on-site technical talent, relied upon by Apple, AT&T and Comcast to solve their staffing needs, needs to hire a full stack PHP developer immediately for a 6-month contract that will require absolutely no travel (100% of your time will be spent at company headquarters in the Boston area). The assignment, should you choose to accept it, will be to work on the cloud-based platform that allows Apple, et al. to find and hire the talent that they need. After recently completing over 2 million transactions through this platform, they need to bring in a solid handyman to help with the increased bandwidth that they’re handling.

The right candidate will have solid PHP skills, with MySQL on the back end and JavaScript/HTML/CSS on the front end. The developer that our client will swoon over will be a generalist, able to transition seamlessly between the back and front end, with a preference for the PHP/MySQL side of things.

REQUIRED:

PHP
MySQL
JavaScript/jQuery
HTML
CSS

This is an exciting opportunity for a PHP developer to join a team that supports the SaaS platform of a company that is backed by over $20 million in venture capital. This contract is 6 months in length and is based in the company’s Boston area headquarters, with no travel involved.

Meet the Staff: Jessica Shirazi

Ashley Herron — Mon, 20 May 2013 02:06:58 +0000

Jessica Shirazi joined our Boston office in March of this year and she is a key player in keeping things on track and running smoothly in that office. Jessica was drawn to Talener because she felt it was a great fit for her personality given that it was filled with driven people that are all trying to make a difference in the technology industry. One of her favorite things about working here is being able to keep her office motivated and happy (she’s even been known to bribe them with candy!).

Jessica believes that Boston is a city of opportunity and is exceedingly proud to call it home. Having recently been looking for a job in Boston, she does have a unique perspective on the job market there and said, “It was extremely difficult not only for me but for all of my friends to be recent college graduates in the job market. Luckily, with encouragement from friends, family, and recruiters, I landed a job with Talener!”

Outside of Talener, Jessica enjoys spending time with her “abnormally large, continuously growing, outrageous” family, and says “there is never a dull moment in the Shirazi family!” Jessica is known in the Boston office for putting up inspirational quotes, so we’ll leave you with one of her favorites:

Living is like tearing through a museum. Not until later do you really start absorbing what you saw, thinking about it, looking it up in a book, and remembering—because you can’t take it in all at once. -Aubrey Hepburn

If you are looking for a development job in Boston or you are a current Boston client, please feel free to say hi to Jessica on your next trip to our office!
