Our designers take care of the heavy lifting here)\n\n* General knowledge of PHP frameworks\n\n* Apache, nginx, virtual hosting and dedicated\n\n\n\n\nDatabase management experience in: \n\n\n* MySQL\n\n* PostgreSQL (Amazon Redshift experience a bonus)\n\n* Elastic Search (Amazon CloudSearch a bonus)\n\n\n\n\nWhat you get:\n\n\n* Competitive salary based on experience + reimbursed health care\n\n* Work with bleeding edge technology on a daily basis\n\n* Immediate use of your work.
