We're looking for a strong PHP developer who has architected MVC systems, preferably using the Symfony 2 framework.

Business Insider is a great place to work. We're laid back, we don't let bureaucracy get in our way, and we play-ping pong in the office every day. We're well funded and growing like a weed, and opportunities to work on cool projects abound. It's honestly one of the best places I've ever worked, personally.

Traffic is huge and growing all the time, so Business Insider is a great place to come into and know you can make an impact building things that millions of people will use. It's an exciting time to be here, and we face unique challenges every day due to the demands of our huge audience and the 24/7 news cycle.

The tech team also handles basic administration of our scalable server infrastructure, and we get exposure to cutting edge technology such as MongoDB, due to our close association with 10gen. Our product team pushes the boundary on feature development, resulting in a varied and interesting assortment of tech challenges to solve.
