(New York City (SoHo), NY)
Kettle is a rapidly growing interactive agency based in New York City. We are looking for an eager junior to mid-level client-side developer to help us out on a contract basis over the next 6-8 weeks. The position will very likely lead to an offer of full-time employment (including great health insurance) for the right candidate.
We are looking for someone with 1-2 years experience hand coding HTML / CSS / JS at the enterprise / agency level. Additional requirements in order of importance below:
- Immaculately clean and organized hand-written CSS / HTML (no DreamWeaver jockeys!), with strict adherence to SEO best practices; an exhaustive attention to detail
- Ability to work independently; you will be delivered layered PhotoShop documents and it will be up to you to mark them up from scratch
- Firm understanding of client-side scripting with the jQuery library; no copy-pasting here, we need someone who can build AJAX calls and interactivity from scratch
- Understanding of best practices, including the spriting of background images, use of CDN for content delivery, and JS / CSS minification
- Cross Browser development (yes, even IE6)
- Familiarity with server-side languages such as PHP and Ruby; you won't be asked to write server-side code, but hopefully you will be willing to learn to over time, integrating dynamic content within the HTML
In our first year we have won a SXSW interactive award and a Webby award. We are a small, fun, hard-working group looking for a like-minded individual with a desire to learn and grow with us. We work for some of the world's largest brands, and we are selective in the projects we take on, which means the work is always challenging and engaging.
We are in the process of moving into new office space in SoHo, but it's not quite ready yet, so for the first few weeks we may ask that you work from home, meeting with us from time to time.
