While at AjaxWorld, several people asked me about our team, processes, and if we had any job openings. The answer to that is… “yes!”

We’re always looking for more developers. There is one catch though… we want you to be located in Portland, Oregon. Many people have responded to our ads as remote contractors, but what we’re really after is great people to join our team here in Portland.

If you’re interested in joining our team, send a thoughtful cover letter and your resume (plain text… no word docs) to jobs@planetargon.com.

Update Since a few people emailed to ask more about Portland... here are some interesting facts and links. :-)

    I live in Phoenix, AZ and I am in the process of selling my house. Portland looks like a cool place to live. Do you get as much rain as Seattle?

    Carlos—

    Portland doest get quite a bit of rain, but it isn’t as cold as Seattle. If you’re concerned about rain, don’t move to the NW. I used to live near Portland and it was one of the prettiest places (year round).

    From wikipedia… about Seattle, WA.

    “In reality, the “rainy city” receives an unremarkable 38 inches (970 mm) of precipitation a year, less than most major cities of the Eastern Seaboard of the United States, such as New York City, which has an annual average 47.3 inches (1200 mm) of precipitation. “

    ...Portland gets just a bit more it seems.

    “Portland’s climate is temperate and seasonal. The average rainfall ranges between approximately 40 to 45 inches per year depending on location. Portland averages 155 days with measureable precipitation a year.”

    ...still less than NYC.

    Wikipedia has some good facts about Portland .

    Portland and Seattle don’t get a lot of rain, they get a lot of gray cloudy days with drizzle. It’s got the perception of being the the rainiest because of the perpetual grayness with a think mist in the air. But, it is close to some great snowboarding. Also, from about July through September, the northwest is the pretties place in the country, all the greenry, mountains, and water!

    BTW, Though NYC gets more rain (according to above Wikipedia article), NYC has much hotter women!

    What I’m quite curious about is why the insistence on physical re-location in the era of the Global Village and broadband access to the ‘net, including VOIP and Webcams (e.g., think iSights in the gorgeous new iMacs). It surprises me that tech people have a hard time figuring out how to collaborate when distributed geographically.

    Well, I’ll be in Santa Fe for a while longer (30 minutes from mythic southwestern powder snowboarding, ha!), but when my wife is done with grad school we have been seriously considering Portland.

    Maybe I’ll hit you up in a year or so.

What is worth mentioning,mbt shoes on sale especially because the girl beautiful dress characteristic, Tibetan, often have guests.
