I know a few of you out there may be looking for work, or know people who are. I'm being bumped up by default, so I'm looking for someone to fill my current position. I have to warn you, that person would be stuck working with and sharing an office with me
Here's a copy of the job posting. If you have more specific questions, feel free to send me a message!
Simply put, I'm looking for a junior level web developer with some, well-rounded experience, but a strong desire to learn. Having an interest in working with NASA and/or Earth Science will go a long way. Also, I have no clue why Perl wound up a requirement, so don't worry about that.
