Torsten Jacobi (my boss over at CW) has also ventured into another online project.  Last year, he put up Kinkaa, a travel search engine.  For a short time, I was writing for its corporate blog.

I know how it is to work with TJ.  I have been working with him for more than 2 years on several online writing and marketing projects and I can honestly say that he is a good boss.   So when I found out that he is looking for developers for the Frankfurt and Palo Alto offices, I knew that I could safely recommend his job posting to fellow Filipinos.   Another advantage is that they can assist whoever they choose to hire with visa requirements.

So… here is the job advert:

kinkaa front-end developers:

- you have 2 or more years of experience with PHP/ MYSQL/ AJAX
- experience in using Prototype, script.aculo.us or jQuery or smarty is a great plus
- a little creative talent (in and outside of Photoshop) for web site design is another plus

You will fit into our team if you are:

- highly self motivated
- able to grasp product specs without long descriptions
- fluent in English

kinkaa back-end developers:

- 2 or more years of experience with Perl, MySQL
- experience in projects based on CPAN modules like WWW::Mechanize, HTML::TreeBuilder are a great plus

You will fit into our team if you are:

- highly self motivated
- able to grasp product specs without long descriptions
- fluent in English 

Interested? Email TJ at recruiting(at)kinkaa(dot)de.

I’ll be meeting TJ in the Frankfurt office next week. I hope that I have more info about this job posting by then.
