The phpMyAdmin Project is looking for a full-time or part-time developer to assist in development, including bug fixing and refactoring.
The ideal candidate will dynamically balance their workload based on outstanding issues and priority, but is anticipated to break down to these percentages (in priority order of what's most important to least important):
Security maintenance (5%)
Bug fixing and issue assessment (45%)
Code base improvement like refactoring and writing unit tests (45%)
Implementation of new features (5%)
The Developer shall publish a weekly blog post about his/her work to the phpMyAdmin community.
The Developer shall send a monthly invoice to the Software Freedom Conservancy for the work done during that month.
All work produced by the Developer is to be licensed under "GPLv2 or later".
This is an independent contractor position: the Developer will be responsible for his/her own equipment and expenses.
The candidate will be able to demonstrate a very good knowledge of phpMyAdmin's code base. In addition, we expect excellent skills in all of the technologies used by phpMyAdmin (PHP, HTML, JavaScript, jQuery, CSS, MySQL) and excellent communication skills.
