TreeHugger Looking for Webmaster/Software Engineer
by Jessica Root - Brooklyn, NY on 03. 5.08

Here is a great opportunity to combine your career goals with your life values and join a great team. TreeHugger, the leading website dedicated to helping individuals lead a sustainable life, is looking for a full time Webmaster/Software Engineer. Position is a long-term contract.
We are looking for that rare individual who can work with customized pre-packaged applications as well as develop custom programs. You are self managed, very organized, and detail oriented. You take pride in both external and internal customer satisfaction and take time to understand the business needs of the company and continuously suggest and implement the required improvements.
TreeHugger is a virtual organization, so you need to be comfortable working from your home office. You have solid written communications skills and are comfortable using online audio/video/file collaboration tools. Location is not important but you will be expected to work a normal business day east coast time.
Specifics:
We use Movable Type, phpads/openads, MySql, Sitemeter, Google Analytics
A solid administrator level knowledge of the LAMP Architecture
Comfortable using Linux commands and developing shell scripts
Skilled manipulating graphics and Flash
Detailed knowledge of all components/aspects of the WWW such as, browser idiosyncrasies, creating client side Javascript, CSS, server side PHP, server configuration, log file analysis
Access to Windows PC (XP or higher) and high speed internet a must
If you are interested in combining your technical skills with your passion for the environment please email your resume, cover letter, and salary requirements to tech-jobs AT treehugger DOT com
Of course our servers don't look like the pics above -- you also need a sense of humor to work with us.

I'd love to apply, but alas, east coast times aren't compatible with myself :(.
Why must a Windows PC (XP or Higher) be a requirement?
I would like to refer someone for this job but don't know where to send his email address. Can you help?
I am interested in this job, but it no longer appears in your job list, so I guess it is no longer available. If so, it should be removed from this venue.
30 years in high tech, 19 years in software development, now into real estate, working mostly from home near Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, so time zone OK, virtual job environment OK. Perhaps if another such opening appears, you could let me know.
Thanks
Your link the treehugger.com has been on my website for a very long time. Been referring others to your site for further information on recycle green.
I will continue to refer others to your website.
Joining forces with websites that are based on recycle information. This will only increase the
benefits for our world's environmental issues.
It starts with just one individual and grows day by day. Making more people aware of our planet earth will benefit us all. We were given the earth as its caretakers and its up to us to carry on that responsibility to help protect it.
This is a good thing.
