SitePoint and 99designs are hiring! If you are the first to refer someone we end up hiring for either of these two roles, we’ll reward you with a AU$1,000 travel voucher to spend with a travel agent in your region.
For both positions we hope to find someone already living here in Melbourne, Australia, but if you know someone willing to relocate and feel they have something special to offer, do get in touch!
To recommend someone, just email the details to: admin -at- sitepoint.com (replace -at- with @).

The successful applicant will work in our Melbourne office.
