Description
ABOUT TURING
Turing is a web and mobile applications development consultancy. We work primarily with startups, helping them design, build, launch and improve their products.
We are headquartered in Berkeley, CA, but we're a fully-distributed company, with people spread throughout the West Coast, as well as a few employees in other parts of the world.
ABOUT YOU
As a front-end developer at Turing you sit at the intersection of design and engineering. This means you:
- Will work closely with our design team to implement user experiences with an impeccable attention to detail
- Will work closely with our development team to build well-engineered frontend applications
- Have excellent design taste and a passion for building great products
- Think like an engineer and enjoy technical challenges
A typical stack for our projects includes:
- Rails 3
- HTML5 (often with haml)
- CSS3 with SASS & Compass
- Coffeescript
- (Increasingly frequently) backbone.js
At minimum you:
- Like the idea of working remotely, unless you happen to be based in the SF Bay Area, in which case you're welcome to work from our office here
- Have worked on a couple large Rails projects
- Know Javascript very, very well and like Coffeescript
- Understand and use OOCSS principles
- Are a fan of either SASS or Stylus (we've got less love for LESS)
- Have worked on responsive design projects
- Have a Github account registered at least a year ago (bonus points for open source contributions from this account)
Major bonus points for:
- backbone.js or ember.js experience
- cool data visualizations in d3.js
- not minding working on some boring Wordpress or Expression Engine builds once in a while
- naming your favorite beer
Note: we're looking for US-based applicants only at this time. We love working with people in further-flung timezones, but find that frontend development needs communication bandwidth which works best within 3 deviations from PST.
