Linqia is the easiest way for people to monetize their interest communities for continuing to do what they are most passionate about – story telling. We're always looking for talented people and we're ready to support them, and help them grow. We believe in openness, co-operation, respect, dedication, and hard work – and we live that way every day.
We are currently looking for both backend and frontend engineers to work as founding members of a team responsible for the technical design and implementation of multiple applications.
We are looking for somebody to:
* develop web applications using PHP and web development frameworks
* contribute to the continuous improvement of our development methodology
* build prototypes
* troubleshoot and debug issues on a needed basis
Requirements:
* 3+ years experience as a full-stack web engineer
* excellent knowledge of PHP, MySQL and jQuery
* experience building customer facing web applications
* great team player with excellent communication skills
* accustomed to work in startups
* knowledge of common software design patterns and API protocols
Nice to have:
* Python and/or Java experience
* Hadoop or generic MapReduce experience
* working knowledge of the CodeIgniter and/or Zend frameworks
* knowledge of the Backbone.js and Underscore.js JavaScript libraries
Cannot wait. I especially like the fact that there will also be training days: being still a "new" language I believe it's nice to make it more appealing for new people.
Still. For a couple of days of "just learning the language" I'm ready to come all the way from Italy.

Anyway, a few suggestions:
- Clojure for Processing large amount of data (MapReduce);
- Clojure for Web Development;
- Clojure for When Other Languages Are Simply Not Enough(tm).
