State: Front-end Web Developer (social web startup)

Competitive / London

Description

Who we are

We're an ambitious London startup with some big plans to shake up the social web. We're building a very large-scale mass-market consumer service, both web and mobile, working with the semantic web, social networks and new forms of expression and communication. We have a strong team already at our base in Notting Hill, and we're using a lot of the latest techniques and technologies, so it is a stimulating and fast-moving workplace.

What we're looking for

In this role you’ll be developing user interface components at State, working with the lead designer and the existing front end development team. We're still small, so this is a great opportunity to join the team early and have a big impact on the product.

Attitude

You care passionately about user experience.
You welcome feedback from users and the rest of the team, and you come up with your own ideas to make interactions delightful.
You want to work at the cutting edge of front end technology with a team almost as smart as you.

Front End Experience

You can show examples of creating interactive components or widgets using hand-coded JavaScript, communicating with a server.
You’ve built web sites based on a template system (such as Rails, Django, etc) and you have a higher-level understanding of modern front-end architecture.
You understand the concepts behind object-oriented CSS and understand frameworks such as LESS or Sass.
You can deal with browser quirks for both desktop and popular mobile devices.
You’ve used HTML5 and CSS3 in a commercial environment, and you’re familiar with best practices around semantic markup and accessibility.

Does that sound awesome? Then we can't wait to meet you.
