Ning, Inc. in Palo Alto, CA is looking for Application Developers to join our team. Ning is an online platform for creating your own social networks for anything. The company was founded by Marc Andreessen and Gina Bianchini and currently hosts over 235,000 social networks, growing at over 1,000 per day. In fact, Ning powers the largest number of social networks on the Internet. We also just raised another $60 million dollars at a $500M pre-money valuation and are featured in this month's Fast Company (see article <http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/125/nings-infinite-ambition.html?pa ge=0%2C4> ). Ideally, we would relocate you to beautiful Northern California, but the right people can work remotely (and plan on visiting us on a regular basis).
The Group: Our Application Developer group is a small, flat organization populated with people who are passionate about creating beautiful software used by millions of people in their daily lives.

Requirements * BS/MS in CS or equivalent experience. * Experience with PHP, AJAX, and HTML/CSS. * Java or C++ or object oriented design experience. * Experience programming scalable web applications. * Knowledge of web services, and agile development methodologies desired. * Know your way around Flash. * Curiosity.
