Job in Whistler, BC

Hi all, Whistler.com is looking for a new permanent PHP and MySQL programmer. The company is based in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada. We work in the destination travel industry. Our primary business is making accommodation reservations through our web site, www.whistler.com. We develop web-based reservation software to interface hotel reservation systems with our web sites and call-center. We need someone with a solid grounding in the use of PHP4 and MySQL for developing web applications. This means: - Understanding of relational databases, and practical experience with SQL - Understanding of OO design and experience coding and debugging in PHP - Understanding of HTTP, session management, cookies, authentication etc. - Familarity with UI issues, working knowledge of HTML and CSS, particularly complex tables The development team works closely together, and we often meet with clients and business partners, so communication skills are important. Initially, the position would involve work on client sites that we host and in-house tools for our own site. As you become familiar with our development environment and methodologies, you'll take a more active role in developing our central reservation systems. Whistler.com is a small company at the moment. We have 12 employees, 4 of which are on the technical team. We have been growing steadily for the last several years, however, and expect to expand into other markets in the next year. We have a friendly and relaxed office environment, and flexible scheduling. Whistler is the top ski-resort in North America, and our office is located immediately opposite the gondola. We offer an attractive benefits package including medical coverage, dental insurance and a season pass. ;-) Feel free to browse our website (www.whistler.com) and submit your resume to employment@whistler.com.
