My company (Noblis) is looking to hire within my team. We're located in Falls Church, VA in Fairview Park - right next to the 495N/US50 interchange. I do not have any salary ranges for the position, but you can preview our benefits package.

If you're interested, you can apply online (requisition number 1920). You should also send me your resume to bma[at]thunderkeys.net, so I can grease any wheels in the application process.

Here's the specifics on the job responsibilities. The position is for a Lead Programmer/Web Developer.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop and maintain web-based applications written in PHP, Ajax and Javascript with database backends
• Basic database administration

Requirements

• B.S. in Computer Science or related discipline
• At least 5 years of programming experience
• Fluent in C/C++, Perl, PHP, Javascript, and SQL
• Familiarity with software development in a Unix/Linux environment

Experience with the following is a plus

• PostgreSQL databases, PL/pgsql stored procedures
• Debian GNU/Linux
• Subversion or other source code control system
• Telecommunications technology and terminology
• System Administration

Late nights at work suck. But at least most of the stuff I needed to get done, got done. Now to get some sleep before a 10am meeting tomorrow... sigh.

And the CEO spake, declaring "from this day forward, thou shalt no longer call The Company 'Mitretek', but rather 'Noblis'." And the New Logo Schwag came down upon the employees, and it was good.

So today we had a suspicious package show up at work and it ended up having the Fairfax County Fire/Police and Bomb Squad show up. They even had the bomb robot. We ended up getting evacuated from the building around noon and sent home. Quite the productivity killer, these suspicious packages...

For those of you who may not know, I tendered my resignation at AOL on Wednesday, and my last day will be December 1^st. They took it pretty well, although they are sad to see me go.

I'll be heading back to Mitretek and will be starting there on December 4^th.

Should be an exciting remainder to the year. At least I won't be paged at 2am anymore. :)
