Cimpress, the parent company of Vistaprint, has an opening for
mid-level Linux developer on the Learning & Knowledge Management team,

productive. (Example: automating someone else's difficult tasks.)

Our main LAMP work is done within MediaWiki, WordPress, and Moodle on
Ubuntu systems, running within VMware and AWS, and we heavily use

like biology, economics, chemical engineering, business, pharmacy, and
music.
