Hi, I am an experienced Affiliate Manager and I was a project manager on a similar project, in my ex company. They were the online gambling software designers and I was the main person for their Affiliate Software project. My job was to design the software to match specific needs of online Poker and Casino Affiliate tracking. I was working with programmers 5+5 years in 2 different companies as a consultant, but also as a testing and QA person. I know everything there is to know about Affiliate Marketing and I have noticed some missing features even in iDevAffiliate and Post Affiliate Pro.
On the other hand, I am not a programmer and I am not sure if you are asking for one, or just the person you are looking for should be able to work with your programmers/developers?
