FRONT END DEVELOPER

A seasoned NYC interactive agency is looking for an experienced front-end developer. This individual will be responsible for defining the strategy for the agency's front-end department on a wide array of projects. This is a unique opportunity to become the voice of the front-end on medium- to large-scale projects. We are looking for someone with at least 5 years of interactive experience developing front-ends. The environment is intense, creative and rewarding, and the work spans a diverse set of industries and technologies.

It is ESSENTIAL that you:

• create HTML, JavaScript, and CSS from scratch (*NO WYSIWYG EDITING*)
• maintain super-clean coding practices; excellent documentation
• are extremely efficient; can manage multiple projects at once
• have extensive experience with cross-platform/browser development
• have experience developing strategies for large-scale sites
• have experience using various templating systems
• have extensive experience developing modular front-end code
• are familiar with multiple back-end technologies (PHP, JSP, Python, etc.)
• possess expert-level knowledge of JavaScript (incl. DOM manipulation, etc.)
• are comfortable with all three major platforms (Win, Mac, Linux)
• are comfortable with the Unix command-line

It would be nice if you:

• have an eye for clean design
• have a passion for accessibility
• are an advocate for the user experience
• desire to be an important part of a small, tight-knit team
• are able to act as a liaison between the designers, producers, and back-end developers
• love troubleshooting and solving problems
• have a good sense of humor

Do not apply if:

• you're a designer who dabbles in HTML/CSS/JS
• your code is a mess
• you've never validated your HTML/CSS
• you've never been part of a large project
• you've never used a CMS before
• you can't see that something is out of alignment by one pixel
• the only interaction with a server you've had is via FTP
• the only browser you've ever used is IE 6
• you've never used version-control software
• you've never written your own JS form validator

This is an unique opportunity to work with a talented group of interactive veterans who respect quality development and attention to detail.
