Job opening - Software Engineer - PHP/MySQL at EllisLab, Inc. (Bend, OR; Portland, OR; Nashville, TN) (telecommute)

At EllisLab we make ExpressionEngine and CodeIgniter, two world class web platforms that impact the lives of millions of people everyday. We are an intentionally small company that loves improving the lives of web professionals. EllisLab is looking for an exceptional developer to work on the next big thing. 


You have a broad, jack-of-all-trades, flexible skill set, but a deep knowledge of your core competency. You love building software that makes a difference in the world. You are passionate about making the user experience perfect and understand that your code and your ability to work with a team is critical in making that a reality. You are self-motivated and self-directing and you don't need to have your hand held. Working from "home" appeals to you and you can legally work in the United States (citizen or Visa). 


You hear phrases like "nobody has done that, it will be hard, that's a complex problem, let's simplify that, make i! t beautiful" and think "I can do that" because really, you live to make the seemingly impossible into something elegant and usable. This attitude shows in your daily life, not just your code. 

To apply write a few words about why you want to work for EllisLab. You must include two code samples. The first should be work you are not proud of. The second should be work you are exceptionally proud of. For each, provide a short explanation of why you choose to include it. Your email is an example of the communication you'll provide on a daily basis, so make it great.
