Are you a good PHP developer searching for a cool place to work?

OmniTI (where I work) employs several industry leaders, including Theo Schlossnagle, George Schlossnagle, Laura Thomson, and Wez Furlong. We do lots of interesting, challenging work for some of the largest and most recognizable names on the Internet. Not only do we predominantly use open source technologies, our staff are major contributors to many notable open source projects. In other words, I think this is a really cool place to work. :-)

We're expanding our web application security practice and are looking to hire some experienced PHP developers who are interested in learning all about web application security. We need people who have good communication skills and work well with others, because this is a friendly, collaborative environment. The ideal candidates will also be capable of learning quickly and advancing into more senior roles in the company.
