(Corte Madera, CA)
Restoration Hardware is looking for an exceptional user interface developer to join our E-Commerce Systems group.
The perfect candidate will be a code craftsperson who is passionate about semantic XHTML markup, modern CSS methodologies, and unobtrusive Javascript. This passion for building simple and flexible solutions to solve user interface challenges is the true mark of the creative technologist we are seeking to help overhaul our entire site top to bottom. Along with impressive past experience and excellent code samples the right candidate will have strong visual skills and in-depth knowledge of JSP page development.
Candidates who are personable, open to learning, collaborate well with others, have a positive attitude, are patient with non-technical co-workers, and are more apt to saying “yes” or “we’ll try” (rather than “no” or “that’s impossible”) will be at the top of our list.
