Job opening: Center’s “Voip Drual” project is looking for a developer

The MIT Center for Future Civic Media is hiring an experienced Drupal developer to work part-time as a contractor on the Voip Drupal platform.

Voip Drupal is a novel open source platform that makes it easier for Drupal developers to build websites that literally make and receive phone calls. In particular, Voip Drupal provides a common API and scripting system that interoperate with existing VoIP PBX implementations (Asterisk, FreeSwitch, Twilio, etc) providing Drupal users with the ability to, among other things:

  • Broadcast text and audio announcements to specific groups or locations;
  • Organize interactive phone polls;
  • Record stories;
  • Access and share information about relevant people, places and events.

We have already implemented an initial version of the call-handling and dialplan-scripting systems, and are planning to release the alpha version of the API in the next couple of weeks.

We are looking for experienced Drupal developers to work with us 20 hrs/week in the implementation of modules to provide voicemail, audio recording, extensions management, and general messaging capabilities.

Qualifications
Candidates are expected to have proven track record creating CCK fields, handling media fields, integrating JS into Drupal. Knowledge of Java and simpletest is also desirable. Previous experience with VoIP is good, but not essential.

Application
Interested candidates should send an email to leoburd AT media.mit.edu including:

  • relevant background information
  • links to sample projects
  • hourly rates and availability
