I came accross this very interesting job opening on Yahoo’s hotjobs.com. They are looking for someone with 3 years of experience with WordPress to manage their blogs on NYtimes.com. If you have been to Nytimes.com in the last year you will see their push to incorporate Web 2.0 technology. Its cool to see how many major sites have adopted opensource for at least their blogging needs instead of creating their own proprietary platform.

Here’s the job description:
NYTimes.com, the #1 newspaper site with 1.7 million worldwide visitors a day, is seeking an experienced WordPress Developer to manage our highly-trafficked and growing set of blogs (http://www.nytimes.com/blogs). The blogs have all been highly customized to fit into the NYTimes technology stack and publishing environment. Beyond having deep experience with the WordPress platform and its plug-ins, the ideal candidate will be a savvy, all-around web applications developer who is comfortable in a LAMP environment.

Oh, and the pay is not listed.
