We are an online music download store specializing in electronic music. We are a small shop but we have been online and successful since 2004.

- We will need you to be on-call and ready to fix a crashing server at any time of the day. Hopefully, you'll know how to keep this from even being an issue by taking the proper preventative measures.
- Stay on top of security issues that may come up or are currently an issue in the OS web apps we run.
- Identify and improve inefficient code in our PHP and mySQL
