Job description:
You are an experienced professional with knowledge of the latest web technologies. You dream in CSS, breathe Javascript, care about YSlow scores, and love iterating on a piece of UI until it works just right. You’ve worked closely with a designer to not only build UI but provide ideas and experiments about what’s possible. You have an unhealthy love for responsive user interfaces, and work hard to help people get as much done as quickly as possible. You’re not precious about dropping into some Ruby or Rails to see how things work. You are open-minded, flexible, down with startup life, excited about fixing problems, and you’re a team player. To apply send a letter or CV along with samples of your work to jobs@amenhq.com.
Responsibilities:
- Build new web features on top of the internal JSON API.
- Maintain the current web features to ensure clean code and a bug-free experience for the squillions of Amenites.
- Work closely with other developers to define and change the JSON API and front-end architecture.
- Ensure the web application performs across the supported web browsers and devices.
Requirements:
- 5+ years professional engineer building and maintaining web applications from concept to production.
