Job opportunity: PHP programmer/analyst

Koumbit is recruiting a PHP programmer/analyst.

The technical qualifications of the candidate should include programming, system configuration, updates, and data migrations. As a consultant, the candidate should be able to understand and synthesize client needs, and offer personalized support and training as needed.

The candidate should have a degree in computer science or equivalent training and experience. They should be versatile, familiar with programming for the web and agile development, able to work well independently, and able to adapt to the evolving needs of the organisation. Experience working in the non-profit sector is an asset. A desire to help community organisations find ways to use technology effectively and strategically is essential.

The primary responsibility of the candidate will be the development and customisation of websites created with Drupal and/or CiviCRM. Drupal is a popular content management system (CMS), and CiviCRM is a client relationship management tool used by non-profits to manage members, on-line donations, and events. Both are free & open source software projects based on PHP and MySQL. Experience with Drupal and/or CiviCRM would be an advantage but is not a requirement for a candidate able to rapidly learn new software platforms. Candidates should be able to communicate in French. A high level of written and spoken French would be an asset but is not a requirement.

Koumbit has developed websites for local and international non-profits since 2004. Founded on principles of openness and equality, we specialize in free software and are organized as a non-hierarchical collective. Koumbit employees set their own work schedule and participate in the decision making process of the group. They earn a common salary of $23 per hour.

You can meet our team each Friday afternoon at our office at 6833 avenue de l'Épée, suite 308 (http://koumbit.org/contact).
