Front-end developer/designer wanted
*** No agencies please. ***
We're looking for a front-end developer. You’ll be good with HTML and javascript and UI stuff, but can also create beautiful designs that suffuse people with quiet joy.
In the past couple of years we've worked on projects for: O2, Adidas, Warp Films, Sainsbury's, Designer’s Republic and a bunch of other big names, and all the smaller, cool stuff you’re still proud of years later. We’re looking for ‘proper’ skills. Technical skillsCore skils:
HTML & CSS to a high standard, Javascript, Photoshop and some illustrator
Shopping list:
Facebook, mobile dev., flash, canvas stuff: anything like that is a bonusWhy would you want to come and work here?It's a nice place to work
- You'll have autonomy and responsibility. We want you to develop new technologies, ideas and to keep things fresh.
- Lots of chance to work on and develop new skills.
- Many of us also work from home for part of the week or do 4 day-weeks: flexitime. It's standard practice here.
- Overworking people is stupid. We don't do stupid. We know you work better when you aren’t doing 60 hour weeks.
- The boss doesn't think he knows everything and will admit it when he’s in the wrong.
- The boss knows how to say ‘no’ to clients who are asking the impossible.
- We avoid corporate bull. People who say “The difference between 'ordinary' and 'extraordinary' is that little something extra,” deserve to suffer.
- There's a good team here of 10 people: big enough to support you and small enough to make sure your voice is heard.
- Most people stay here for 4 years or more because it’s, well, a nice place to work.
It's great for your CV
Having those URLs on your CV. It’s not going to hurt, is it? There's also Land Rover, Kelloggs, Horlicks, Warburtons, Ribena and a bunch of others. When people do eventually leave, they always seem to just walk into another great job.
