PHP Programmer needed in Raleigh, NC

Alrighty-then, since Rasmus said it was okay, I need no other authority... :) Please excuse the long winded email here... I run a security consulting company in Raleigh, North Carolina which develops specialized applications for electronic security. We work with major manufacturers in our industry to develop interfaces between different systems and external devices. We are currently seeking one or two highly skilled PHP programmers with experience in SQL database application programming. Some of the applications we're developing are remote paging/dispatch services, RS-232/LAN interfaces to remote field panels (alarm panels, fire alarm, HVAC), Digital Video transmission and storage, SQL database interfaces, robotics, and wireless web devices (WAP). These are real world applications that work with physical and electronic security equipment used by fortune 500 companies every day. Write code that actually does things: moves cameras, robots, locks people out, etc. (Security in corporate america is no longer just a bunch of ex-cops using ancient equipment, it's high tech stuff with some very cool applications and sleek hardware). We have rougly $250,000.00 of hardware and software platforms to develop on, with new demo products from manufacturer's coming in weekly. Preferred experience: PHP on AIX, Linux, Unixware, Windows NT/2K; Informix 4GL programming, Oracle, MS SQL, MySQL, X-windows/Motif, TCP/IP, RS232/422 I/O programming. Perl / Java experience a plus. XML experience a plus. Zend experience a plus. Due to the nature of these projects, this position must be in-house in our Raleigh based office. Preference is toward a salaried employee, but contract positions may be a viable option as well. Salary range / contract rate is negotiable based upon experience (typically $30-75K). Training/Books and related materials will be provided for salaried personnel. Salaried employee benefits include health/life/dental/disability/prescription insurance, annual bonus, vacation/holidays, retirement plan, referral bonus program, etc. For more information about our company, see http://www.secmgmt.com. Contact information can be found there, or reply to my email here. Thanks, Zack Hamm
