Yuri Arcurs Photography is currently the world’s top-selling stock photography company. We have been developing our own selling platform to sell the Yuri Arcurs Collection direct to the public. We now need a few more freelance programmers who are enthusiastic and dedicated to making this website a success! If you enjoy a challenge, are passionate about programming and have excellent qualifications, we want you in our elite team!

This position entails duties like:

Testing the website and identifying any technical problems and hitches
Determining any functionality that the site must support and developing PHP content based on practical approved layout
Identifying the content type the site will host and ensuring compatibility with the PHP programming requirements

About our upcoming site:
We are creating a site that is going to be totally different from any other site selling media content and we need people who are able and willing to think outside the box in order to achieve this. We are completely independent of any 3rd party platforms or solutions. We have even custom made our framework for dealing only with our project and we want your skills to help make this project a success.

We are looking for a highly motivated person who can put their heart and soul into this project. The perfect person would love the challenge of exploring, optimising, analysing and solving potential problems in code-structure and server-structure. You should already have experience in successfully building and running large websites and other IT projects from scratch and have a solid understanding of the challenges of increasing traffic and demands. Ideally we need someone who will be motivated to outsmart and improve our current solutions.

People close to you say that you are:
Precise & thorough
Creative and innovative
Stable
Loyal

Skills Needed:
You have excellent interpersonal and communication skills, a knowledge of international web standards and protocols as well as experience in most of these languages: HTML, PHP, MySQL, Apache, Subversion/Git, Linex/Unix, Smarty, OOP/MVC, jQuery and CSS.

We can offer:
A salary reflecting your skill level
The opportunity to be part of this exciting venture creating and perfecting our new website
An international, young, and creative environment where you can learn and grow as an employee.

Interested?
Then please complete the following assignment:
Make a script, which loads an RSS-feed from an external server and loads the title in a MySQL database. Afterwards a simple extraction from the database should be shown. It must be written in PHP, and if the script needs special settings or frameworks please inform us.

Apply no later than 10 March 2012 and be sure to include ALL of the following to be considered for the job:
Motivation letter - why are you interested in this job? And why this company?
Your CV
Your assignment solution
Any reference letter from previous employers
Something about yourself
A photograph of yourself
A statement showing a clean criminal record
When you can start?

Don’t make a huge essay; we are primarily interested in your solution to the assignment.
If you do not complete the assignment, your application will be irrelevant to us!

NB: Please note that any attempt to contact Yuri himself directly will disqualify you from the job!
