UW-Madison Libraries need a front-end developer. We pay well, and we hold a lot of developer meetings lakeside with some of the state's best beverages. We're primarily a Ruby-on-Rails dev shop, with lots of interactive digital collection focused work on the horizon. We'll likely stand up Drupal this year and begin a major responsive re-design of the entire library web presence. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Formal details below. Cheers, - Eric L. - - - - Required: minimum 1 year work experience in web and database programming; experience with the web technologies (HTML, CSS, and a commonly used server- side language such as Ruby, PHP, or Java); experience with application development across its life cycle; experience working in a Unix or Linux web server environment; excellent oral, written, and interpersonal communication skills. Several of the following are desired: strong understanding of a design pattern based code framework such as Ruby-on-Rails and ActiveRecord in Ruby or comparable frameworks in Java, and of the underlying principles of object- oriented design; strong experience with HTML5, common Javascript frameworks such as jQuery and Backbone, CSS3 and CSS preprocessors such as Sassy CSS and less.js, websockets, responsive web design frameworks such as Twitter bootstrap; experience developing for mobile devices, particularly for the mobile web; experience with content management systems such as Drupal; familiarity with user experience design including usability best practices and testing, and conformance with web accessibility requirements.
