Top Level Programmer Needed - Starting Salary of up to 100k per year (DOE)
 

I am looking to hire a high level programmer to lead the development of an adult dating site + affiliate program.

Tasks would include:

Development of CMS for members
Development of spam compliant email system
NATS affiliate software setup (open to other options)
Integrating affiliate software/cms/email system
Developing incoming/outgoing API scripts

Applicant must have strong references and experience in dealing with high traffic complex projects.

Also, you must be willing to relocate to Wenatchee, WA - Would consider Seattle, WA for the right person.

We want the best, and we will pay for the best. Starting wage ranges from $70-100k per year. Will cover cost of relocation.

Please email me your resume to [email protected]

Good opportunity for somebody. Bumps for you.

Intredasting...

Good luck with this, but GFY isn't likely to be the place to find an ideal candidate.

Yeah dont see point at all publishing inhouse job,question is is there any member from that area here not just is there any programmer living there.

I posted on indeed as well =) It would be nice to find someone on here that's familiar with NATS/Netbilling.

There has to be a ton of out of work programmers around here since the fall of the adult affiliate model that would be willing to relocate for 100k a year?

and lol @ no members from the area. Didn't you know that Wenatchee used to be the Cross Sale capital of the world? Both us and Quickbuck had offices in Wenatchee.

I had two different programmers from GFY relocate to our lovely town!

Most of my programmers never left office/house.. so I don't think they really gave a shit where they worked from. As long as we kept the redbull stocked.

Dom - Sharky told me that he doesn't love you no more and you gotta come work with me! Sorry for the bad news! =)

Amen to dat shit BROmance.

:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

I'm willing to relocate, but not for $100k/yr.. I can make that working remote or for myself.

If you are speaking about yourself then cool.

Otherwise, I promise you that you don't have a clue about who is on this board.

:2 cents:

Nice opportunity for someone :thumbsup

Justin it's been too long :banana

100k needs a bump.

Well, I think that enough programmers think that the salary justifies a move (just maybe not "top-level" programmers like the title states) .. it's just that so few truly senior-level programmers are still in adult, and fewer still are available and/or browsing GFY.

I'm just a mediocre programmer, and I'm almost constantly engaged. I think I've made "looking for work" posts twice on here in almost a decade.


I'd argue that training someone on NATS/Netbilling would be a much better option than settling for a programmer simply because they had experience with them .. especially if you're willing to relocate someone. You could get a very solid mid-level person for $100k, who really knew their shit and had a good work ethic. Learning the NATS/Netbilling paradigms should be cake, versus trying to find a NATS/Netbilling person and hope that they have the technical talent. Hope that makes sense.


Ha! Me love Sharky long time. He'd have to rumble me in the cage to get me to leave the team. :winkwink:


As an employer of people from this board for over a decade, I can tell you that non-GFY sources of technical talent have been producing superior results for some time now.

great opportunity !

You should offer this job as a "remote position".

Are you the Justin from TrafficGigolos ??

Good luck! Good programmers are hard to come by.

No offense, but even at $100k you are on the low end for a "high level" programmer, let along someone that would be willing to relocate. I have a number of friends who are developers, some are insanely good and wouldn't take anything less than $200k to relocate. Just my 2cents, but hope you get someone good!

There are probably some fine candidates willing to relocate for 100k. Not sure why everybody is being negative. Nice to see a solid job opportunity posted here. Good luck to both parties. :thumbsup

Not everyone is you.

There are plenty of people, just like worker bees who prefer a pay check versus scrambling for jobs every day/week/month, who would enjoy just getting a pay check and not having to worry about chasing down more gigs. Some people prefer the 'opportunity' to make more money while others simply want 'stability' of a weekly paycheck. No additional thought required.

:2 cents:

That was my initial thought as well, but then I thought about some of the senior guys I know who are only making $165k-$180k due to all of the other talent available (job losses) .. and if they lost their jobs, might jump at $100k just to keep from being underwater.

Also, for some, $100k of stable money would be a lot better than a good salary that's more speculative.

The unfortunate part is that it's difficult for non-programmers to be able to tell the senior-level guys from the junior-level guys .. especially since the need for senior-level might be in architecture, not in execution, or in test coverage, not in ongoing maintenance, etc. Different strokes, and all that.

Get out of my head! :thumbsup

If really can't fina anyone already in USA (unlikely?), last resort offer this to some filipino or indian along with help with VISA to immigrate in USA. I know people in Florida do it with romanians too.

PS: You did not specified any language or operating system in the job request.

Except that he's asking for a "high" level programmer, which ultimately means a senior programmer, and anybody who's at that stage are either snagged up and have no intentions of leaving where they currently are, or they work for themselves and would require a lot more than $100k/yr and paying for their relocation to take it.

I currently do not make even close to 100k/yr but my skills are at that level.. Why do I not make that much but turn down such a job? Because the joys of working for myself and not for someone else far outweigh making 100k/yr.

Many people in my position could make more with such a job offer than we do now, but we're not right now planners, we're future planners. At such a level of pay, I highly doubt there's any wiggle room for raises... I'm 99% sure that if I took such a job, I'd be making that 100k/yr my whole time there, whereas right now, I may not be making that much, but in a year or 2 I could be, and I am not stuck working 9-5 for someone else putting all my skills into making them rich just for a "stable paycheck".

Our skills are in high enough demand that it's not hard to come by that "stable paycheck".

you could get 3 romainians for that.

Just shot you an email Justin. Good to see you around. Been a long time.

I should become a programmer.

Yes you should,salaries for top notch programmers are higher then of some company ceo's.

But could you trust them?

i like pooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooo

depends 100% on the person. I would not trust anyone right off the bat with emails or members data

what you gonna do?

LOL UP TO 100k a year?? A TOP level programmer can do this monthly by them self.

So why the rude comment? When did you last offer a person a 100k/yr job?

Awesome to hear you are doing so well. What is the best way to contact you regarding traffic?

Lol at all the programmers making $200k a year... Back when I did this, full time positions in both adult and non-adult were like $50-90k. Have times changed or are egos just more inflated?

Depends on where you are and what you do. Getting someone to move from Seattle for 100k is rough, getting someone to move from California for 100k would be near impossible. Even PHP folks these days! Ultimately you're looking for the person that wants the job, not just the salary. Then hopefully they'll be reasonable. :)

It's important to clarify (not just for you, but for the driveling idiots who will latch onto your comment without context): he's asking for a SENIOR-level programmer, not some random programmer. Random programmers still make $50-$90k, that's the entry-level and mid-level norms, not just in adult.

Regardless of whether he actually needs what he's asking for, the salary level he's offering is possible for that type of talent, if they are looking at intangibles beyond the paycheck, etc.

You're correct that most programmers (or, in this case, senior-level programmers) are not making $200k. People whose names you would probably recognize (people who have worked for me in the past) are at $165k-$180k now. $200k isn't easy to come by anymore, and I'd say it's all but unheard of in adult.

To put that in perspective, my freelance hourly rate is generally $225/hr (less for projects I like, more for projects I don't). I'd have to code (not work -- CODE) almost 20 hours per week at that rate to come out at $200k/year. It's unreasonable to expect that you could acquire customers at your chosen rate, complete their projects with all of the overhead and administrative bullshit, and still put in a solid 20 or so hours per week. That's why many people (myself included) choose to take a salary at this point until things get less speculative and the market returns in many industries. $100k without the "hassles" of the freelance is appealing to some.

The offer was for TOP LEVEL programmer, meaning NOT entry level. Its you thats the idiot.

And most TOP LEVEL programmers dont need to find with on a gfy. They are either working for the like of google or making millions from their own projects.

Obviously, you either didn't bother to read, or your reading skills are marginal at best. I addressed that in my comment -- in fact, right in the first paragraph (wow).

If you think you can't find a senior-level programmer for $100k, your head is so far up your ass, you have to fart to breathe. Salaries have changed in the past couple of years.

You just said that a senior-level programmer makes $100k in a MONTH -- you're a space cadet at best, slinging stupid shit like that around. No one is impressed by you pretending to be a big shot, sorry for that.

LOL you are sooo easy to troll. Proof most programmers lacks common sense.

"I trolled you! I tried to make myself look like a moron on purpose!"

Good job, you fooled me with just how dumb you looked.

Times have changed. The demand for programmers is insanely high in mainstream. Especially "Social Hackers" (programmers who can also market). I had just went through the interview process for a startup in San Francisco that was offering $120k+/yr salary with benefits, paid vacations, relocation and equity in the company for a senior level PHP developer.

Top level coder is 100K, add another 100K for some one with adult know how (so you dont have to explain to them what is an affiliate)

So how do you define if programmer is "senior" level or not?

Did you net 200k in 2012 ?

san fran a janitor makes $100k + stock options..
You need it to afford to live there

If he is un-employed then he is not a senior developer ...I always said, their are not un employed good developers.

No way.. he made millions with his claim to fame. leadwrench LOL

haha you got me.. let me explain something to you. Entry level programmer at BEST. A TOP programmer is not surfing programing jobs here. They are OFFERED them. And like I said before (you cant either read or comprehend) they are working on their own ideas, hence the millions possible. Dont take it out on me because all you came up with is a sorry ass program like leadwrench. Real programmers come up with ideas that actually make money.
