SEEKING FREELANCER - San Francisco CA USA - (Remote welcome, PHP/javascript Developer)

PHP/javascript Programmer Needed For Bootstrapped Dating App Project. http://mantrackr.com/

Exciting opportunity for PHP/javascript programmer wanting to be part of a wildly lucrative gay dating space.

We have an awesome and disruptive gay dating web app that is soft launching this month.

Our app is built using PHP/mysql, jQuery, HTML, CSS and will be hosted on Dotcloud.

We are two forward thinking brothers, one of whom is very creative while the other is very geeky. We are very proud of our app and we believe in infusing the best of web 2.0/3.0 into it.

Our current programmer is based in Romania, he is very good and we have a great relationship, however we would prefer to work with someone locally after the launch.

We are looking for a talented PHP/javascript programmer with vision to grow with us as we capture a piece of the huge gay dating/hook-up market. Specifically, we are looking for a programmer who seeks a flexible part time but long term position to make changes with respect to functionality and layout. Skills required: PHP, javascript, HTML5, CSS, mysql, mongoDB, node.js.

In terms of payment we would like to a have trial period first to see if there is a fit, then offer a percentage of revenue that is fair and makes sense to all since we are bootstrapping and thus cannot offer a salary at this point. We realize this isn’t ideal for everyone but we are seriously looking for someone who sees the potential of the dating market and of our app, and would desire to grow with us.

Future changes to the site will include the following:

Layout responsive/fluid layout (e.g. Trover.com)

Messaging real time chat (node.js, mongoDB, and audio for new incoming messages)

Modern modernizer.js to detect modern browers HTML5 (geolocation and localStorage)

Premium Features three way chat instant chat from profile shouts payment module
