Currently we are at a stage where most of the work were doing is around site speed, scaling up, dealing with large amounts of data, talking to web services, managing third party data, and implementing systems for increased efficiency.

* Experience with git, svn, ticketing, documentation and bug tracking applications
* Experience with IDEs (ie, Eclipse, phpStorm, Netbeans, Zend Studio), and IDE based debugging tools
* Demonstrable problem-solving and teamwork skills. Team dynamics are important to us, so you must be a team player with a strong customer service focus.
* Worked on projects using Agile / Scrum methodology
* Ability to hand-code standards-based HTML 5 and CSS 3 for cross-browser compatibility, and examples to show

Desirable Skills:

* Experience in high volume, high traffic sites, where youve had to solve scaling problems
* Experience with Magento as well as the ability to implement Magento themes and 3rd party plugins
* Ability to build custom Magento plugins/modules
* Familiarity with web services like SOAP
