# Required Skills:

Requirements:
* 2 to 5 years of commercial experience coding PHP in a Linux server 
environment
* Strong understanding and coding experience with the Object-Oriented 
features of PHP.
* Strong experience and understanding of relational databases. This is 
not the same as writing SQL. You should understand what makes a good 
relational db design. Specific knowledge of MySQL is preferred. Oh, and 
you should be able to write SQL as well.
* Excellent communication skills. This is for real, not just thrown in 
to make this posting look impressive. If you can't communicate your 
ideas and objections clearly and persuasively, how can anyone learn from 
all the wonderful things you know?
* Strong knowledge of ego-less programming

Desirable:
* Knowledge of, and experience with, the object model in PHP5
* Experience with Prado a major plus!
* Knowledge of Apache's more interesting features and how they apply to 
PHP and web development
* Knowledge of XML and Web Services
* Experience using Subversion in the development of PHP sites.
* Not being afraid of telling your boss how their ideas are wrong (if 
you know how to do it right).
* Previous contributions to open source projects. We'll encourage and 
support you in doing more of that.
