As the JavaScript Expert and a Front-End Developer at GameGround you will work closely with the product and design team, as well as other engineers, to develop a next-generation web-based gaming site.
-------
Some of your day-to-day responsibilities would be to:
* Analyze product requirements and functional requirements to determine optimized front-end coding architecture
* Develop mockups into a live product while maintaining product integrity and compatibility with predefined specs
* Create complex JavaScript apps using existing publicly available libraries (e.g. jQuery) as well as writing custom plugins, widgets and other controls from scratch.
-------
You should have proven large-scale front-end development experience (at least 3 years) which means you are:
* An expert in JavaScript, with experience implementing performance-critical graphics functionality and building complex, graphically rich front-ends
* An expert with HTML and CSS
* Sensitive to and able to solve asynchronous issues
* A guru in handling cross-browser-compatibility issues
* Be comfortable walking us through a portfolio of your previous work and explaining why you did things the way you did
-------
And a quick list of skills in the candidate we're looking for:
* You are a true JavaScript Ninja -- you don't just "dabble" - you know the ins and outs
* Hardcore HTML/CSS skills, including a familiarity with the HTML 5 and CSS 3 spec
* Someone who loves highly usable, platform agnostic and entertaining interaction design
* Comfortable working with remote teams
* A badass video-game player (not a requirement, but a big plus)
-------
COMPENSATION: Full-time position, salary commensurate with experience, plus full benefits (Medical/Dental, 401(k)), and a casual work environment in an NYC loft office.
