Job description interestingness at Authentic Jobs

~ 11 December 2008 ~

I’ve plumbed through most of the listings currently on Authentic Jobs and have made note below of some of the interesting job descriptions, perk benefits, and stuff I personally find appealing.

But before that, another great testimonial. Dave Greiner, co-founder of Sydney-based Freshview, finally filled a position for the (pure awesomeness) Campaign Monitor email marketing app using Authentic Jobs:

After 6 months and finally accepting that we’d probably never fill the position, we decided to give Authentic Jobs a go. Within 2 short days we found the amazing interface designer we’d been searching for. We just relocated him to Sydney and couldn’t be happier.

Congrats to Dave and the Utah-based-soon-to-be-Aussie individual who filled the position. (I don’t know this individual, but Dave tells me he’s from Utah.)

Full-time (International)

QS Quacquarelli Symonds is looking for a PHP5 Web Developer in London who will use Zend Framework to develop new applications. Starting salary is £22-30K.
This is really cool. U.S.-based Virginia Commonwealth University needs a Web Developer who will live and work in Doha, Qatar among six other highly ranked American Universities located together in a dynamic community called Education City. (I had to look this up: Qatar is an Arab emirate in Southwest Asia, bordered by Saudi Arabia to the south.)
Playfire.com, a gaming social networking startup in Soho, London, is seeking a Front-end Web Developer who will help build “the next big thing for millions of gamers around the world” as employee #7.

Full-time (U.S.)

Chicago-based CashNetUSA, which offers online payday loans (and whose business is likely to be very sustainable during the downturn), believes great individuals are “300 times more productive than average” individuals. They’re seeking an above-average Web Designer / Front- end Developer.
TMX Interactive, who bill themselves as a “hybrid agency” offering technology, marketing, and creative services, needs a Front End Developer in Conshohocken (pronounced just like it’s spelled), Pennsylvania. Position is alongside the same developer who helped build Authentic Jobs.
Southwest Florida Water Management District needs a Web Developer who embraces “the ‘getting real’ philosophy by 37signals.”

Urban Outfitters, whose Electric Paper Airplane Launcher rocks, is looking for a Flash Developer in Philadelphia to oversee projects from start to finish for Anthropologie.com.
Clorox Creative Services, located in a town I visited frequently growing up (Oakland, California), is seeking a contract Web Designer to apply his or her unbridled awesomeness to the 35 products Clorox produces: laundry, cleaning, automotive, water filtration, cat litter, food, personal products and more. No monotony here.
RentJuice (love the name) is a pre-launch Internet company providing a platform for the apartment rental process. They need a Senior front-end designer/developer in San Francisco. The lucky hire will receive valuable seed stage equity package and competitive salary + benefits.

Plenty more interestingness (and job opportunities) at Authentic Jobs.
