• Bay Area local – we need someone who can make it into our downtown Oakland office pretty consistently
• Reliable – someone who would help us win a tug-o-war (we’re really trying not to use cliches and say “team player”, but someone who isn’t afraid of HARD WORK and who is helpful)
• Good communicator – desire to help train students in our Website Weekend program is a plus
• PHP is a plus, jQuery is a plus
