Tech Genius

For programmers, it can be a cruel, cruel world sometimes. Many employers just don’t

understand the importance of 24/7 access to caffeine. Or they hire you to program, and then ask you to reset the clock on the microwave in the company kitchen (which is actually harder than Perl). Or they don’t approve when you occasionally pause in the middle of a line of code to play a quick game of Bejeweled or check on the latest Penny Arcade strip.

Fortunately for those of you reaching for a tissue right now, there IS hope. Konnessi, a

Providence-based business firm specializing in web design, social media marketing, and search engine optimization, is looking to hire a programmer for 20+ hours of work per week. We like our programmers to be familiar with PHP, CSS, JSP, and CSI: Miami. And we take our caffeine very seriously.

If the words Drupal, Joomla, and Magento sound like programs you’ve used, not just Dr. Seuss characters, please get in touch, and make sure to include a resume as well as anything else you think we should see—whether its software you’ve written, what you’re looking for in a relationship, or that AWESOME web page you built using only the AutoShapes from Word.

Konnessi, a highly innovative technology startup, is looking for a limited number of proactive

programmers to join our team. Konnessi is a web development and marketing company built upon a unique and highly profitable business model. We partner with our clients by taking a partial ownership stake in the companies we serve, thus ensuring both the alignment of our interests and the client, and a long-term partnership which lasts far beyond the initial building phase. Unlike many of our competitors, Konnessi not only develops but also maintains and re-evaluates online strategies in order to maximize our clients’ return on investment (ROI).

Potential candidates must have experience creating standards-compliant, semantic HTML and CSS. This is an amazing opportunity for aspiring designers to mix academic knowledge with street smart design and programming in a hip, cool, and fair but demanding work environment. You don’t need to know all of the answers, but you do need to demonstrate a strong sense of problem solving ability and a desire to learn more.
