I’ve taken on a newly created position as CTO, and we’re hiring asap in Manhattan, Albany, and around the State.”
Specifically on the geek side of things, they are looking for three or four full time people in New York City.
- A Drupal Ninja – this developer knows the LAMP stack backward and forward.
