There's more to UI development than writing a bunch of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. You know what we mean; it takes design sensibilities to do it well. It's the kind of thing you know when you see it - when things work smoothly and intuitively. Cloudera (recently voted as the #1 startup by VC Journal - http://cl.ly/fb5cc4338f0d07fc5539 ) is looking for someone with those kinds of sensibilities to help us build Cloudera Desktop - a virtual web-OS style application suite for managing large Hadoop data clusters. We want to make working with a virtual cloud of computers as slick as OSX or Ubuntu and to do it we're writing some cutting edge JavaScript, but the people writing it need to have some design sense, too. If you enjoy spending time in Photoshop and Illustrator as much as you enjoy writing closures and recursive functions, then you've found the right job.
Required Skills:
3+ years of experience in developing web UI applications.
Solid grasp of cross-browser, object-oriented JavaScript (closures, inheritance, etc)
Significant experience in developing AJAX-enabled web applications
Experience in coding standards-compliant semantic markup in XHTML/CSS
Knowledge of and a preference for JavaScript frameworks such as MooTools, jQuery, YUI, Prototype, Dojo, etc.
A passion for writing super optimized and clean code
Some experience designing user experiences; a working knowledge of Photoshop and Illustrator
Strong Plus:
Experience with data and information visualization is a strong plus
Experience building web applications in Django/Python
Experience developing desktop applications UI (e.g. with Adobe Air)
Involvement in an open source project (examples: committing code, writing plugins, involvement in user forums) preferably one focused on JavaScript
