Here's what we have open now.
Front End Developers
We have an immediate need for JavaScript ninjas and general front-end gurus. Our software is built on the LAMP stack utilizing HTML/CSS and YUI (though experience with any of the major JavaScript libraries is relevant). We're looking for emerging superstars - developers that are still hungry and looking for exciting opportunities, but who also have a few years of relevant experience anywhere in the typical web app stack. Performance tuning, usability testing, and SEO-experience are all considered major pluses, but ultimately great developers are problem solvers regardless of the challenge. You should be comfortable leading a small team of engineers and working collaboratively with our back-end team under tight deadlines.
Required skills:
- A passion for dynamic web design and strong visual-design skills
- Experience building sites using HTML/CSS
- Ability to ensure a high quality consistent look and feel across major platforms and browsers
- Provide timelines, estimates, and status for design project milestones
- Participate in collaborative visual design and project planning sessions
- Work both independently and collaboratively with team members and demonstrate leadership, innovation, and accountability for assigned responsibilities
- Adhere to web development best practices and ongoing changes in the interactive development space
- Bonus points if you have a portfolio of self-started web-based projects or freelance work we can check out
Bonus skills:
- Design web page and content using Photoshop, Illustrator, or similar software packages
