versatile front-end solutions to tricky web development problems.
•
Embrace emerging standards while promoting best practices in order to push the
limits of what a browser can do.
• Manage
your own time, and work well both independently and as part of a team.
•
Implement designs, including user flows, wireframes, mocks and prototypes into
projects.
•
Launch, iterate and make a difference. Provide front-end coding expertise, and
be ready to make our products better for our users.
•
Collaborate with a geographically distributed team of designers, researchers,
developers, and journalists; proactively explore all options.
What
You’ve Got
• BA/BS
degree or equivalent practical experience.
• 2
years of relevant programming experience in JavaScript, Java, Python or C++.
•
Applications development experience, working in Unix or related environments.
•
Experience in web technologies (Object-Oriented JavaScript, HTML, CSS, React
framework) and experience with web standards, including HTML5 and CSS3.
