PHP DEVELOPER

Want to have ownership, influence and meaning in your work? Join the Massive Damage team where you can actually make a difference and work on games that are being played by tens of thousands of players every day. We’re looking for a full-time developer to help us build websites, dashboards, game platforms, API services and analytics.

You:

• know PHP so well that curl_exec(), stream_socket_client(), and aggregate_properties_by_regexp(), turn you on
• know SQL / MySQL and can create queries, tables, joins and indices while rubbing your stomach and tapping your head… on one foot… with your eyes closed.
• are so test driven that you will write Unit Tests for your interview with us
• know what git clone/pull/push/checkout/branch/merge/stash mean
• don’t think of cumulus, stratus and nimbus when you hear about “The Cloud” – you know your way around AWS EC2, S3 and RDS or better yet, Rightscale
• love mobile games, console games, PC games, board games, game design, game mechanics and generally anything that has to do with gaming
• crank through your task list every day and even though there are never enough hours in a day to finish them, you stay until they’re all done anyway
• know how to work hard / play hard

We:

• have an all-star team in a great office – an entire house to ourselves with a full kitchen, backyard and deck, right in the heart of downtown Toronto
• stock our kitchen with breakfast and snacks, have PS3, Xbox360, bean bag chairs and a foosball table
• will kick your ass in foosball, Left 4 Dead 2 and Catan
• also know how to work hard / play hard
