We have a big magento project starting in a few weeks and need to add some resources to our existing team of magento coders. This project would be on a contract basis and would be paid hourly. I expect that we'll need between 100-200 hours assistance with this over several weeks. A minimum of 20 hours per week is required, and likely we could provide up to 40 hours per week worth of work during this time. We work a lot with magento so if the project goes well there is strong possibility of a more long term engagement.
We prefer someone living in the North, Central or South American time zones. You must be able to read and write in English - but you don't need to be able to speak in English (although that is a plus).
The project will require a lot of HTML/CSS and template theming from a provided design plus a lot of extension installations and testing.
Please provide as much of the following as possible:
* Your weekly hours availability, starting when (i.e. available 30 hrs per week starting April 8).
* Examples of recent magento work
* A list of magento extensions you have installed and/or customized
* Your experience with WordPress and other PHP frameworks
* Your Linux sys admin skill level (can you get around on the command line, have you setup vhosts, do you know anything about memcache, APC, any experience with Nginx?)
