Location3 Media

Jr. Web Developer (PHP, Ajax, HTML, CSS)

Type of work: Freelance
Location: Downtown Denver, Co
Date Posted: March 15th, 2010
Description:

General Description
Location3 is seeking a knowledgeable and innovative PHP Web Developer. The desired candidate must be fully engaged in the world of interactive development, and understand the importance of social media and search engine optimization.

Let’s Talk About You
You should certainly have a passion for the interactive space, from web and mobile to social and viral media. You must be able to handle the full life cycle of a project from concept to completion (architecting, development, design integration and deployment).

Position Details
We want to make this as clear as possible, so your tasks will include:

• Taking sliced up design layouts in Photoshop (as well as slicing them up yourself) to create working websites using PHP, Ajax, X/D/HTML, and CSS
• Developing forms with proper validation and database integration, as well as powerful site-search functions
• Customizing open source CMS solutions to meet every need of a client project, such as Wordpress and Expression Engine (PHP-based solutions)
• Setting up beta sites on our development server, including installing and configuring a CMS framework
• Handling the delivery stage of the project lifecycle, i.e. “pushing the site live”

A web developer at Location3 doesn’t simply sit behind a monitor or two and code away all day, every day. You can plan on participating in the strategic development of interactive solutions (including storyboarding, sitemapping and wireframing), plenty of brainstorming, and not always punching the clock at 5:30pm. You should also plan on a healthy amount of happy hours and inter-office Wii tournaments.

Fine Print
You need to have about 2-3 years of experience. Your strength should be in PHP first and foremost, then Ajax, HTML, and CSS. You can expect to juggle 2-3 projects at a time, and should have a desire to create work that is remembered and respected.

A Huge Plus
JQuery skills, Ruby on Rails, ASP and .NET experience. Experience and/or interest developing facebook apps, desktop widgets, and mobile apps.

What We Offer
Competitive compensation commensurate with experience, health, vision and dental insurance, 401k, and so forth, offices in LoDo with great people watching, and plenty to eat, drink and do all within walking distance.
