Rhizome.org seeking Software Consultant

Rhizome.org, a non-profit organization focused on new media art, is
seeking a Software Consultant. The Consultant will work closely with
the Director of Technology on a number of long-term projects, including
improving the site's search capabilities and improving the ArtBase
submissions process.

Rhizome.org is a highly trafficked community website that uses Ruby,
MySQL, Apache, PHP, and Perl. Experience with specific technologies is
less important than an interest in object-oriented design patterns,
agile methodologies, and test-first programming. Yes, it's a computer
job, but communication skills are important anyway. Apple and Unix
programming snobs encouraged to apply.

This is a highly flexible short-term position. We have budgeted for a
half-time, six-month term of employment, but this may change depending
on the applicants. This position allows for off-site work, but
candidates need to be in commuting distance of New York for frequent
short meetings and pair programming sessions.

Rhizome.org is among the oldest and most well respected organizations
in the field of new media art. For more information about the
organization and our programs, please check out our web site:

To apply, please email your detailed cover letter and resume by April 1
to Francis Hwang at [email protected].

Hours: 20 hours per week, scheduling flexible
Dates: April 1 - October 1, 2004 (flexible)
Location: New York
Salary: Commensurate with experience
