PHP Developer position open at the Nexus
I have enjoyed immensely working in and being a part of this community, I have so many fond memories of times past and friends who have come and gone, and I do not want to let go of 10 years of hard work I've spent running these sites and trying to develop sites that are a true service to this community, with the community's best interests at heart. I'd like to continue to do that, providing scope and direction for the Nexus sites (and to continue to do all the crap in the background I bet none of you think need doing, like the dreaded VAT returns of doom!) and leaving the clever stuff (like the coding) to the clever people.
The last time I asked for help back at the start of April I was lucky enough to find Axel, who has been coding like a true Dovahkiin (as all true Dovahkiin's do...) ever since. He's very close to rolling out the PHP framework he's been working on since he first started and then we can really start moving. You might not notice any differences to begin with, but over the next couple of months you'll begin to notice some pretty major improvements. On that note, I'm looking for another PHP coder. Axel and I have grand aspirations and want to bring modding to the masses, but we need your help to do it.
We have a full-time, paid position open for a PHP developer who is an avid fan of the games the Nexus sites support and who wants to get paid to work on bettering this great community we've created. You'll work closely with myself and Axel to improve the Nexus sites and expand their scope and reach while remaining true to our free sharing and open community. This position is open to people in the UK and the EU. Head on over to the job opening page to read up on what we're looking for.

I might also ask, when did the EU become its own continent?
On a serious note - To bad you aren't hiring in the US as I own a webhosting company and we do a lot of PHP/MySQL/Ajax/JQuery work and I would be happy to help take some load off the servers by using our own server farm to help with hosting.
Please take no offense to this as I am a huge fan of what you are doing and offering, but I will say that the backend of the TESNexus sites really needs some refinement (just based on my everyday use and not source inspection) and I think a talented, dedicated PHP developer could really help you guys expand your service capacity.
Do you have someone to specifically handle your db management or are you expecting the applicant to take care of that side of the spectrum as well? Either way, I'm sure, with the enormous amount of tabled data on the TESNexus network it will benefit you to have a nice long database pruning/cleaning.
Good luck in filling this position and I might have a few potential applicants in mind that I will send your way.
Tesnexus recently hard to open.
