Somehow my phone number seems to have ended up on the job recruiting circuit. Ahh, reminds me of the good old days of 99.

Anyway, I’ll try to repost some of these opportunities as they come to me. No reason any PHP/Python developer should be starving these days.

If you’re interested in working on a high profile site/app, either middle tier (LamP|P|P or Java) , and you’d like to work in Pasadena, let me know and I’ll pass on the job description.

There’s a front end dev position as well.

For those that may be interested, but don’t know me personally or my direct contact info, I’d love to publish it here, but something tells me that’s how my number ended up in the recruiting pool in the first place (no disrespect to recruiters, just surprised to get cold calls on my cell phone)

If you’re interested, I can usually be found on irc, in the #phpc channel on freenode as jonbauer
