We are looking for someone with 1-2 years experience hand coding HTML / CSS / JS at the enterprise / agency level.  Additional requirements in order of importance below:

• Immaculately clean and organized hand-written CSS / HTML (no DreamWeaver jockeys!), with strict adherence to SEO best practices; an exhaustive attention to detail

• Familiarity with server-side languages such as PHP and Ruby; you won't be asked to write server-side code, but hopefully you will be willing to learn to over time, integrating dynamic content within the HTML

We are in the process of moving into new office space in SoHo, but it's not quite ready yet, so for the first few weeks we may ask that you work from home, meeting with us from time to time.

Who We Serve

• People who manage their money responsibly, and want to get rewarded for it – not for getting into credit card debt.

We’re looking for a front-end designer who wants to help take our video management interface and video channel widgets to the next level.   We're currently in private beta with select partners and are hurtling toward our public launch.  We want someone who can bring a fresh infusion of talent, ideas and implement features that have been languishing.

You should be extremely experienced with JQuery/AJAX/Javascript and able to write CSS3 that doesn't break, regardless of the browser you through at it (OK, we'll cut you some slack on IE6).  You should know how to make sure our widgets' code doesn't collide with that of the sites they are embedded on.

We're not a data company; we don't deal with lots of numbers or text.  We're a video company.  We're passionate about visuals and creating an interface that is "Fisher-Price" simple.  

Additional things we'd like in our new team member:

* A strong design ability- Sometimes you'll be working within an established aesthetic, other times we'll ask you to get creative.  We want someone who makes bold design choices.

* A passion for best-practices and user-centered, standards-based design - we're building our platform to be cutting-edge and platform-agnostic.  We heart HTML5.

* Familiarity with PHP - Though you'll be working with a talented programmer who will do most of the coding heavylifting, we'd like you to have basic PHP familiarity.

* Familiarity with Smarty - You should play well with templating engines.

* Ability to work independently- We are a team of five who work on our own, guided by a weekly Skype meeting and regular Basecamp & email interactions.

* Ability to take and offer direction - We want someone who isn't afraid of constructive criticism nor afraid to offer it.

* Easy access - We're mostly based in Portland, it would be great if you were too.  That being said, we're looking for talent over location.

* Time to commit - We want 20+ hours a week of your most creative energy.

* Familiarity with SVN a must.

You’ll work as an independent contractor on a monthly retainer. Pay depends on ability and quality of work.

Apply: If you match the description above, please email us 6005@jobs.authenticjobs.com with some recent examples of your front-end work. We'd like to talk.

• Desire to reduce complex tasks to simple, intuitive interactions.
• Basic (or better) grasp of HTML5 and CSS3.
• 1–3 years professional experience.
• A love of the grid and minimalist typography wouldn't hurt.

Job Perks: # All Mints are encouraged to attend two paid-for conferences each year. # Every February we disappear to http://www.mintdigital.com/blog/2008/03/15/the-webapp-weekender-in-pictures/WebApp # On your birthday, we put £100 behind a bar/restaurant/other entertainment establishment of your choice. # There are no office hours.

(Brighton, UK)

Is your growth as a designer currently being limited by the type of client, size of budget, or the short time frames you’re being asked to work under? Do your clients or colleagues not really get the web? Then we may have the job for you.

We’re looking for a world-class interface designer to join Clearleft’s team of internationally-renowned experts. Our ideal candidate would have an obvious love of design and a real passion for visual problem solving. You will be someone who can draw inspiration from a wide range of sources (not just the web) to create a variety of powerful design concepts. With the direction set you’ll be able to develop these concepts into stunning interfaces that are easy and engaging to use.

You’ll need to be as happy working with pen and paper as on the Mac (extra credit for carrying a sketchbook), love typography, grid-based design and have an incredible attention to detail. You should also be able to interpret complex briefs and effectively communicate your design decisions to clients, colleagues and peers alike—be that in a meeting or in the pub over a frosty beverage!

Like all good designers, you’ll need an innate understanding of the medium. And whilst we’re not looking for another web standards guru (we have a few of those already) you will need to have a thorough understanding of XHTML/CSS and be comfortable building complicated CSS layouts. Most importantly, you’ll love what you do and constantly want to do it better.

In return for your experience and enthusiasm we’ll provide you with a supportive and highly creative environment, and the chance to work with some of the best-known and most talented designers, developers and UX people in the industry. You’ll work on high profile projects for the likes of Channel 4, Mozilla and NBC Universal to name just a few.

As a small company we believe that your happiness matters, so we’ve put together a great package. We’ll give you flexible working hours and the ability to work from home when you want. To help keep you flexible, we’ll give you a company MacBook and a training budget of £1,000 to make sure you’re up-to-date. So if you’ve always wanted to go to SXSW but could never afford it, now you can. We run team training days (like sketching and letterpress printing) and company days out (like photography classes and trips to the Design Museum). All this along with our monthly movie nights, beach BBQs and occasional (optional) karaoke sessions, makes working at Clearleft fun.

Please note that the successful candidate will need to be based in Brighton.

Apply: If you think you have what it takes to join our team, drop us your CV, a link to your portfolio and a covering letter (to info@clearleft.com by August 20th) explaining why you’d be perfect for this job. We look forward to hearing from you.

I'm looking for a designer to help me out with creating a series of  themes for a popular blogging/website platform (NOT Wordpress). These themes will be designed to meet specific needs - designs specifically made for restaurants, real estate agents, etc.

What I'm NOT looking for: Someone who just draws straight lines, throws in some gradients, and calls it a day.

What I AM looking for: A true artist who can pull in rich graphics where necessary to create a masterpiece around a specific theme that is still flexible enough for a wide variety of uses.

Involved are plenty of variables, limitations, and use cases. The person I'm looking for will know how to use these to their advantage. If you're up for the challenge, shoot me an email.

This is a design role only - no coding involved. However, you should know the limitations of current browsers, while still designing to take advantage of CSS3.

Apply: Shoot me an email with some examples of your work, along with your rate and anything else I might find interesting: 5969@jobs.authenticjobs.com

Do you want to develop your skills by working with an excellent team? Are you excited by the opportunities of the web?

We have an opening for a strong HTML/CSS programmer (JavaScript a plus, but not required). If you’re great with web front-end programming, and you’re interested in learning about Rails, this opportunity is for you.

Many of our senior technical staff initially joined Mint to do a similar job. In your first 18 months with Mint you will get hands-on experience of all parts of a first-class software development process. You will probably also work on the development of Mint's own software, including BloomBox andHemlock.

Apply: Send short email and CV/resume to jobs@mintdigital.com.

Do you love writing software?  Have you been doing it professionally for 3-5 years?  Do you learn new languages and work on side projects in your spare time? We should talk.

At Mint Digital we are obsessed with building great software and learning as much as we can about the craft while we do it. Our core beliefs:

Creating software should be a fun process.  We've been working in Rails for four years, and it's been a blast.  Every year, we head off somewhere remote, split into teams and compete for a week in building something cool.  We use whatever tools will help us solve the problem at hand in the best possible way.  Our current toolset includes: Ruby, Rails, MySQL, Chef, Redis, Resque, Ubuntu, nginx and git.

But at the same time it's serious business.  Although we're having fun, we take our responsibilities to our customers and to the products we create for them very seriously.  This is true both collectively, and individually.

A software developer must constantly be learning.  If you're still doing things the same way you did two years ago, or even last year, then you're in danger of letting the industry pass you by.  All of our staff are sent to industry conferences, and provided with training on a regular basis.  Although we're known primarily as a Ruby / Rails shop, we're constantly playing with new tools (Scala, Erlang, JS, and Objective-C have been recent obsessions for various Mint devs).

We all have a responsibility to help those less experienced than ourselves.  Those of us who are experienced developers can all look back on mentors who helped us along the way.  It's the nature of life that we can never really repay those mentors, so the only thing we can do is help  others to develop their skills as well.  At Mint many of our "junior" developers have moved into senior roles in the last two years, and we're very proud of this aspect of our culture.

We're looking for an experienced developer who's passionate about software, and skilled at producing it.  We're not obsessed with the specifics of your experience.  It's obviously nice if you have some interest in / experience with Ruby, but if you've been working in C/C++, or Java, or C#, or Lisp, or Python, or any number of other languages, you may be a good fit at Mint.  It takes about 3 months for a good dev to become proficient with our current toolset, and it can take years to become a good dev.  We understand this.  If you think you'd fit in here, please drop us a line with your CV and a short personal email explaining why you think we'd be good for each other.  We look forward to speaking with you.

We are now looking to expand into design classes. Our first class will be Graphic Design Fundamentals. Initially, we would like to find a great instructor to teach this introductory course. But we are open to other class ideas.

You may or may not have taught design before—that is not important. What is more important is facilitating a fun, creative, and inspiring environment. We have put together a rough curriculum, which can be tweaked with your input.

Please take a look at our proposed syllabus:

http://www.nobledesktop.com/graphicdesignfundamentals2.html

If you have an affable personality, an outstanding portfolio, and most important, would be thrilled to teach, then you might be the instructor we are looking for. 

Absolutely no phone calls please.

(San Francisco or Washington, DC)

We're a mobile development company based in Washington, DC with an office in San Francisco.  

About Us:

We're a bunch of really hard-core developers, and we've been able do to some great things.  We created AppMakr - a way for anyone to make an iPhone app, in minutes, for free.

We also have a very robust consulting organization that makes custom apps for clients like Disney, Cars.com, Newsweek and others.

You can learn more about us here. 

About the Job:

What we really need, though, is someone with a strong eye for design to jump into our organization and influence everything we do, including:

1) Our public websites, www.PointAbout.com and www.AppMakr.com

2) The usability of AppMakr.com

3) The native iPhone app template that AppMakr builds apps from (you can see an example of a finished app here  ... should the buttons be on the bottom?  Should the gallery look like it does?  Should the share button be in a different place?  etc.)

4) The design of iPhone, iPad, Android and Blackberry apps we build for clients.  

We are looking for someone who specializes in really clean design with an eye on user interfaces.  A background in mobile would be helpful but is not required.  An interest in mobile is a definite huge plus.

We love the design aesthetic of 37 Signals websites, for example, and the way the user is presented with just what they need, and an ability to explore to find more when they're ready.

We're looking for someone with a strong portfolio, and plenty of experience.  Someone who is comfortable being in charge of the design of an entire company, and capable of executing well.

We want you to help us make it easy for our users and customers to use AppMakr and interact with our brand.

About You:

You should be willing to relocate to DC or SF, or already be in one of those two areas.

You should have a great portfolio you can show us of work you've done in the past.

You should have a background in what constitutes a great user interface, and it'd be especially helpful if you have experience with Apple's Human Interface Guidelines and working on small screens like the iPhone.

About The Compensation:

We're flexible and will pay based on experience.  We are a 30 person company, and we're just getting health insurance set up.  The position includes stock options once you complete a 90 day "getting to know each other" gig as a 1099 contractor where we start with project-based tasks to evaluate the fit from both sides.

About the Executive Team:

Learn more about the exec team here  and see the massive amounts of press we've gotten.

We're looking for a solid web designer.

Are you a web designer? Great!

That this job involves creating awesome websites in Photoshop, then working with our tech team to get them build. Knowing HTML/CSS is great, but not necessary, as you probably won't be doing much of this. We're looking for someone who is a web designer first and foremost. Flash is a plus, but we're really not looking for someone who designs all Flash websites. 

We're a fast paced shop and have to do a little bit of everything, and we're looking for someone to come on-site on a contract basis, with a possible full-time hire down the road if the situation is right. We work with everyone from non-profits to Fortune 500 companies. 

You should be comfortable: 

• Designing carefully crafted websites in Photoshop that are usable while clean and interestingly designed. 
• Selecting stock photography for sites based on meetings and memos. 
• With feedback. We do client work and sometimes good work has to be changed to meet that client's needs, wants, or preferences. 
• Our work is almost all covered under non-disclosure agreements, so you won't be able to show off work. 
• With a Mac, and basic functions like installing fonts. 
• Have a working knowledge of typography. What are your favorite fonts? You should know what tracking, line-height, and kerning are. 

You should also: 

• Be incredibly interesting, funny, and optimistic. 
• Have the ability to remain calm in the untimely (and guaranteed) event of a quick turnaround project. 
• Be able to laugh at yourself. 
• Be a creative person. We're not looking for a pixel pusher. We are design nerds and it would help if you were too. 

We are a fun group, and are looking to hire within the next few weeks. 

This is a contract position! All work will be done on-site in our Dupont Circle office, 40 hours per week.

Job Perks: Fun, laughs, good pay, big brands, and happy hours!

Apply: Send your cover letter, resume, at least three examples of work you've done recently (or a link to a portfolio), and hourly $ requirements. If your work is a good fit, we'll get back to you quickly!

Send all all of the above to 5781@jobs.authenticjobs.com Thanks!
