SingleFeed is seeking a developer with strong previous experience developing web and/or other applications in PHP and Perl. Come join our small but growing team of developers and help improve and grow SingleFeed's system as a major contributor. You'll be joining at a time when everyone's able to make a real difference.

SingleFeed is a web service which enables merchants to effectively market their goods through shopping search engines such as Google Product Search, Yahoo! Shopping, Shopzilla, and PriceGrabber by managing and submitting high quality product data feeds. Each shopping engine has a different specification for how they want product data feeds to be delivered. Each shopping engine also has a different algorithm for how they rank products. SingleFeed’s goal is to get merchants up and running quickly and easily on multiple shopping engines while helping merchants achieve the highest ROI possible.

SingleFeed is a venture-backed start up with real customers and real revenue. Our office is located in downtown San Francisco.

If you're our candidate, most of these describe you:

- Experience developing significant software for at least 5 years, and you know about design patterns and anti-patterns; common algorithms; web application system architecture; good development practices.
- Experience building significant, scalable web applications using PHP, with knowledge of frameworks like CakePHP and CodeIgniter, tools like Smarty, and a proven understanding of object-oriented coding in PHP.
- Several years spent coding substantial applications in Perl. You know all about Perl subroutines and objects, how to debug and profile apps, and how to make code efficient yet readable and maintainable.
- You've spent a lot of time with CPAN and know a lot of the best packages so you don't have to reinvent the wheel.
- Experience with DHTML, CSS, Javascript, and AJAX for web front-end development.
- You're perfectly at home in a Linux environment, and you might even have reasonable experience as a sysadmin.
- Experience working with SQL databases such as MySQL. You can do multi-table joins in your head and know the difference between inner and outer joins.
- Experience in other languages like Java and C/C++.
- Your previous team members know that you can take a project and it'll be done when you said it would be. And not only that but you've tested it inside and out already. The QA team really likes you.
- You believe strongly in unit testing, good documentation, code reviews, and working closely with other developers, who like working with you for those reasons.
- You've worked at startups before, and look forward to working at another one even though things can be chaotic at times.

If this sounds like you, send a resume and cover letter telling us some real information about you and what you find interesting.
