You must have at least 4 years commercial experience in Coldfusion v6+, have worked with MySQL, Eclipse, SVN and Linux. CSS, Ajax, JavaScript are a given as is a good understanding of current web technologies and application development life cycle. Any experience of Ruby will greatly help.

Aside from the work stuff you need to be a cool geek, like music (we’re big on last.fm), photo’s (naturally flickr), annoy people with randomness on twitter.

If you’re going to the Future of Web Apps conference let me know as we’ll all be there, if not, drop me a mail.

Obviously it’s a CF job, so, CF is a must. Other stuff which will help you is MySQL (3.x, 4.x), MS SQL (other DB’s always good), Flex, AJAX, JS, HTML (naturally). Any Flex, Actionscript knowledge is always welcome as is Ruby.

Like I say, if you’re interested drop me a line and at least come in for an interview. We don’t give shit jobs and we are big, we are funny and we are clever!
