Here at Quantcast, we've got massive amounts of data, but having that data only goes so far. We are in need of increasingly sophisticated visualizations to make it easier for our users to access and digest that data. Come help us expose our data to the world.
You will work closely with a top notch visual design team to provide technical guidance and high level estimates, and then implement those designs. You will know what is possible to do on the web and have good intuition as to the right balance between pixel perfection and implementation speed. You should also know how to write fast JavaScript that doesn't leak global vars (and know why that's bad).
