The Dextrous Web is a young start-up, making its first hire. We’re looking for a PHP/Ruby developer to join the team – which is currently one full-timer and a collection of freelance designers and programmers.

The Dextrous Web was founded with a specific mission in mind. We want to make useful things on the web that solve interesting and difficult problems. We think that agile, social, programmable websites are the best thing since sliced bread, and we’re constantly amazed at the things the web makes possible.

Most of our clients are in the public sector, and that’s where our hearts lie: we want to show the Government how it ought to be doing things on the web! There’s so much that could be done, and the possibilities are exciting.

We think this is a great job for the right person. If that might be you, please do read some more and consider applying.

At last, we have a website.

We have more plans for it. We’ll have a section to show off some of our work, and we’ll put up more stuff explaining what we do. Time, though, is precious, and we’d rather spend it on our clients: so those things can wait for another day.

We’re going to use this blog to talk about things that we think are interesting. We might comment on new websites and services. We’ll definitely post about our own projects when something neat happens. You should expect the odd technical post, too: sometimes we solve tricky problems, and it’s good to share.

Above anything else, we’re here to solve interesting problems, so if you have one, please let us know!
