The latest news from behind the scenes at Firefly

Hi, I'm Joe Mathewson, one of the founding partners of Firefly Solutions.  I'll be using this blog to keep you up to date with what is happening at Firefly, with some of my thoughts on web technology sprinkled in.

We're hiring!

We're looking for new people to join our small but dedicated team.  We develop and support our own content management system, with an education focus.  Schools use our system to manage their websites, intranets and learning platforms, helping their community of teachers, parents and pupils communicate and share news, work, revision help, administrative information and more.

We're small, which we means we can stay close to our clients and develop and improve our products very quickly to meet their needs.  It also means you'll get great exposure to all of the things we do — customer support, training, development, marketing and selling — in a fast growing business.

We're looking for a number of skills, and pay and hours (full or part time) will depend on how many of these you can tick.  We need you to be able to tick more than one — we want to make sure you have some variety.

  • Support: keen problem solver, system administration a bonus
  • Training: clear communicator, presentation experience
  • Front end development: an eye for visual and UI design, some HTML, CSS and JavaScript experience
  • Server side development: some programming experience, some SQL database experience, C# preferable
