Quartz (http://qz.com), a recently launched global business news site from Atlantic Media, is seeking an experienced Web Application Developer. You will collaborate with members of the engineering, editorial and advertising teams on a news site unlike any other – one that places emphasis on the reading experience, seamless interaction, and values content over traditional business needs.
Developers at Quartz may be called upon to work on any part of the site, rather than adhering to the usual labels of "front-end" and "back-end". You should be comfortable adding a module to our Backbone.js application, building a custom WordPress plugin, or writing a hardware-accelerated CSS transition. Most of all, you should love creating things and take great personal pride in building beautiful, functional, and highly performant interfaces for external and internal users.
This is an exciting opportunity to help redefine the news reading experience, and you will work on a large number of fun and challenging problems as the site and team grow.
This is a full-time position based in our new Union Square office in NYC.
Atlantic Media is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
