A Javascript Engineer will work with our design and development teams in building applications across a variety of platforms. They’re craftsmen who take the vision from our design team and turns it into a reality for our clients. We take our front end engineering seriously - most of our apps are written in Javascript with a small sprinkling of HTML for display. We also do work on mobile platforms (Android/iOS) and some traditional web development. We work with common open source Javascript tools and libraries such as Jquery, Backbone and Underscore as well as create internal tools and libraries for emerging platforms.
HERE’S WHAT’S COOL ABOUT WORKING FOR US.
- You’ll have fun. We’re fun and we work with fun clients like NBC, CBS, the UFC. We might have some late nights but we’ll keep it interesting.
- You’ll become a better software engineer. There’s really no choice, from project to project you might be working in Javascript and HTML to pure Javascript, you might need to hack together a php script and then update some Objective-C. We don’t expect you to know how to do all this when you start, but you’ll learn. That’s how we’ve done it.
- You’ll ship. Again small shop, fast projects that ship. You will be able to show your friends an app on TV or your mobile device and say, “I built that”.
- If there’s a platform out there you want to learn (Nodejs, iOS, Android?) we’ll probably give you chance to learn it. We work on the cutting edge and we aren’t tied to large legacy systems. This gives us the ability to use whatever tools we like. We use Redis, Nodejs, Websockets etc. In particular we do a lot of work on embedded platforms using WebViews (and will likely do more as Moore’s law keeps going on mobile devices) so HTML5 skills are great
