Web Developer

We are looking for a Web Developer who is motivated to work on web pages providing data to a cutting-edge data analytics platform, combining simple page design with the precision and efficiency of ‘big-data’ analytics programming. Responsibilities will include design/implementation of HTML front ends for web pages, and heavy-duty data manipulation to capture, transform, and transmit data from those pages using Javascript. You will work with the back-end server team, client managers, and data scientists, taking an active role in defining how the web pages look and especially how they work.

This position is Javascript-heavy. Using Javascript and tools to make responsive, functional web pages is the focus, not front-end design or HTML-only page markup.  If you aren’t a Javascript programming Ninja, this isn’t the job for you.

Responsibilities

• Develop new HTML pages using existing templates or from scratch
• Load and manage WordPress-leveraged sites when needed
• Build reusable Javascript code for data collection and transmission
• Ensure the technical feasibility of UI/UX designs, and operability of the Javascript that makes them work
• Optimize pages for maximum reliability and function
• Collaborate with other team members and stakeholders
• Work with ‘big data’ server back-end using REST interface

Skills And Qualifications

• Proficient understanding of web markup, including HTML5, CSS3
• Complete, expert understanding of Javascript client-side scripting and tools/libraries, including jQuery, jQueryUI, and d3.js
• Proficient understanding of cross-browser compatibility issues and ways to work around them
• Proficient understand of CMS platforms like WordPress
• Proficient understanding of code versioning tools, such as Git and Bitbucket, and reporting tools such as JIRA

• Degree or equivalent work/school experience in Computer Science, Web Development, Full Stack Development
