Salary ranges? Any clue about any position?
No idea. In fact, I never, ever, see salary ranges posted for jobs. I imagine it can vary greatly depending on your skill level.
what type of qualifications they need?
It depends which job you are referring to. I linked the posts for each position where the companies laid out qualifications and conditions.
I missed that iThemes is hiring as well — both a designer and a developer. The positions are available in Oklahoma City. Hat tip to Ronald Huereca for that.
Oklahoma City? Too bad I can only work at home, not traveling around, thanks for your information anyway.
If you’re really good (and confident in your skills), WordPress.com is almost always accepting resumes as well. They hire developers on a contract at first, to see how they work.
Also, StockTwits (http://stocktwits.com) had a great opening for a WordPress guru a few days back.
Thanks for the info, the reason I am posting here and showing my works is because I want to let those potential customer (s) take a look at my skill first, just like when you are buying something online, you always want to take a look first. Yes I loves PHP and I like to code with wordpress template tags, and I will continue develop plugin and theme based on that.
It is great that there is so much open. From what I have heard around here the range is $45-70k plus benefits…
