Job Description :
Hi ,
Have a look over the JD and let me know what you think .
Title :Web Engineer
Location : Reston , VA
Duration : Fulltime
Interview :Phone, Onsite
Description :
Client is looking for web engineers: seasoned front-end developers who not only excel at semantic, responsive, cross-browser markup, but can also analyze client/user needs to recommend innovative technical solutions that meet project budgets and deadlines.
You’d be a great fit as our next web engineer if you understand best practices in UI/UX design and thrive creating technical solutions in collaboration with digital strategists, designers, and backend developers. You should be flexible enough to support many projects in one day, focused enough to concentrate exclusively on one project for several weeks, and as comfortable developing code with headphones on as you are in a client/team brainstorming session asking thoughtful questions and proposing solutions.
Our team is growing, so check us out and see if you’ll enjoy it here as much as we do.
Key Skill sets
3-5 years experience as a front-end developer building responsive websites and web applications (bonus points if at an agency)
Full grasp of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and AJAX-based JSON/XML web services
Experience with front-end web frameworks (e.g. Bootstrap, Foundation)
Experience with JavaScript application frameworks (e.g. Angular, React)
Experience developing markup templates for use in content management systems and ecommerce systems
Architectural understanding of how the web works: the web server, network requests, the browser, the DOM, stylesheets, scripts
Working understanding of web infrastructure and scalability, object-oriented programming, and MVC architecture
Comfortable developing with Git/Subversion, CSS preprocessors, linters, coding standards, branding guidelines, and both waterfall and agile development processes
Confidently and quickly able to navigate around and work within an unfamiliar codebase
Able to confidently build upon an existing aesthetic through code (e.g. new templates, components, feedback mechanisms, animations)
Able to troubleshoot and debug complex websites and applications (e.g. network requests, performance, layout issues, browser bugs)
Bonus Points
We’re not specifically looking for experience in any of these areas, but we’d be eager to chat if you also have previous experience or interest in:
Server-side languages (e.g. PHP, .NET, Ruby)
Popular databases (e.g. MySQL, Postgres, SQL Server)
Installing and customizing content management systems or ecommerce systems (e.g. WordPress, Drupal, Magento)
Marketing and analytics systems (e.g. Marketo, Salesforce, Google Analytics)
Native mobile application development (e.g. iOS, Android)
UI/UX design (e.g. wireframing, prototyping, comps)
