In an effort to help out the Zend Framework project as much as possible, Zend has posted this job offering on the LinkedIn site for a "Software Team Leader" in the San Franscisco Bay area.

Zend is one of the major commercial drivers behind the success of PHP, and is investing in a number of open source projects aimed at further advancing the strength of the PHP technology and community. One of the most significant of these projects is the Zend Framework, which aims to make it very easy to develop the next generation of web applications.

Contributors to the project are some of the world's smartest programmers - some fulltime Zend employees, some working for sponsoring companies, yet others working as individual contributors. For this eclectic team we are looking to find a team leader who can bring out the best in each of the contributors, who can encourage even broader participation from the community, and who can keep it all together and deliver a coherent, state-of-the-art PHP framework.

Responsibilities of the position include:

• delivering a top quality PHP-based Web application framework
• lead a distributed team of highly qualified software engineers
• take part in actual development tasks and will be a role model for others
