Kevin has made himself Employee of the Month for six years straight and we’ve finally had enough. We need new blood to spice things up a bit. Before we start a bigger process of recruitment we want to reach out to you, our community, first.
Are you the right person for the job or do you know someone that would be? Right now we are looking for a Medium to Senior PHP developer, ideally with Drupal experience, and a Junior to Medium Web Designer with CSS skills.
Ideally you are based in the US or Canada. Miami, NYC, LA or Winnipeg are a plus but not necessary as we are a virtual team.
Email hireme@mobilenations.com with a short introduction, why you would be suited for the job, why you want to work for Mobile Nations and your Resume.
We will not be able to respond to everyone individually but rest assured we’ll be looking at every single email.
Good luck!
David Lundblad
Design Director, Mobile Nations

Would you be needing any interns?
David Lundblad Mar 13, 2013 at 6:46 pm
We are considering interns for the temporary NYC office so if you are based there there might be openings. We are looking at the logistics.
BoldWorld Mar 13, 2013 at 10:02 pm
I have no experience in any of those fields but maybe i can come work for a few stickers. :)
I am in the NYC area
AllynaS Mar 13, 2013 at 10:42 pm
If you're ever looking for any interns based in Toronto, I'll come running.

Are these full-time and/or part-time opportunities? Will there be full job descriptions and responsibilities posted?
David Lundblad Mar 13, 2013 at 6:31 pm
Both are full-time. Ping any additional questions you might have on the roles here in this thread and we'll answer back promptly.

Damn, I live in Winnipeg but I just started programming so all I know is Java. My cousin is just finishing up his computer science degree at the University of Manitoba, maybe he will be a good fit.
DetlevCM Mar 13, 2013 at 6:49 pm
For myself I dabble in PHP, CSS and Drupal - but professionally? Nope, nowhere near enough knowledge ...
Nice to hear you are using Drupal though :).

pcguy514 Mar 13, 2013 at 7:11 pm
Every now and again you see the Drupal favicon on pages like t.crackberry.com and some of the old site 404 error pages. I keep forgetting to tell them about this.
Might just throw my hat in the ring...
polytan02 Mar 13, 2013 at 6:53 pm

Are you looking for just developers/designers or are there other potential opportunities? Specifically in the Toronto region.

mavsguy842 Mar 13, 2013 at 8:00 pm
Do the positions have an intended length, or are they expected to be indefinite? Without revealing any upcoming features/enhancements, what sorts of projects and/or daily tasks can be expected?
bambinoitaliano Mar 13, 2013 at 8:26 pm
Do you need anyone to extend your mind blowing thread?

I have 20+ years of programming coffee makers so that's Java covered. I got C's and C+ in high school. And I can type porn url's into the browser so that's html covered. Also I can format cells in excel like a boss. Look forward to hearing from you. But seriously, good luck to those who are qualified and congrats to those selected.

I threw my name in the ring on this one. I'm sure I'll get more laughs then anything else but as a proud BlackBerry Epic Fanboy it's my duty to apply for any job that will get me closer to working with the brand. LOL right now being an uber fan people just look at me weird but if I worked somewhere where BB was related to my job then I wouldn't be so weird LOL.
MC_A_DOT Mar 14, 2013 at 6:56 am
HMMM with my specialties, I think I would be a perfect candidate lol.

Are you looking for any writers? .. because i have a knack for writing in the English language.

mavsguy842 Mar 15, 2013 at 12:49 pm
I guess you guys don't need my badass coding skills since no one answered my question about the positions.
JAGWIRE Mar 23, 2013 at 10:59 am
Have these positions been picked yet? I know that this went across all of mobile nations not just CB. That being the case is it just that you guys have many entries to go through? Will you be letting the public know who these lucky people are?
