My company is building a very modern meta-search engine for a client on the east coast. This is an entirely contract position. Workflow is managed via a project management wiki and subversion, and our development and design team is somewhat scattered across the US, and accostomed to geographic diversity. So, we're looking for anyone within a few of timezones of US-Central.
We would prefer to work only with experienced developers as they tend to be able to better handle being mostly self-directed.
Payment happens task-by-task, and the workload is enough to keep us consistently busy full time.
