As an applicant, you should have a well-established foundation in modern web development, including JavaScript (vanilla, as well as modern frameworks like React, Angular, and Node), HTML, and CSS. You probably also have experience with other languages like PHP and Ruby. You’ve got a GitHub account and you’re passionate about using TDD. As a super candidate, you have a background in defining technical requirements or some other business-centric technical skillset, and experience in DevOps.

Reporting to the Director of Software Development, you’ll use your seasoned skillset to efficiently implement industry best-practices to build easy-to-use solutions for all of our clients’ challenges, and be a mentor to other developers on the team.

What You’ll Do

• Work with designers to turn their creative vision into a functional product
• Build and maintain web sites and web apps across various IP projects

• Develop optimized, client-side code for a polished front-end experience

• Lead efforts in optimizing our development workflow
• Mentor and guide developers to help them grow in our company

Who You Are

• You care about the well-being of your colleagues and are excited to contribute as an active and important member of the team
• You feel the allure of both front-end and back-end development: They’re both too good to choose just one!
• You’ve been working in JS/HTML/CSS/etc. for at least five years, and you’ve dabbled in PHP or Ruby on Rails
• You’ve got an eye for design and a good understanding of what makes a thing amazingly usable instead of frustratingly confusing
• You can’t stand the idea of releasing anything less than a top-notch product for your users
• You tinker away on side projects of your own, and have something to show for it
