  • Ability to quickly figure out how a site is put together, and make the appropriate changes
  • Debugging front-end code
  • Wireframe and mockup review to catch potential issues before site build begins
  • Thorough process of QA, addressing fixes logged by the design, technical, and account management departments
  • Staying on top of current front-end best practices
Applicants must have a strong background in:

  • Rendering differences between browsers
Familiarity with the following is strongly encouraged:
  • Adobe Photoshop
  • Adobe Fireworks

  • SMACSS and Object Oriented CSS
  • Ability to write and work with existing JavaScript and jQuery

We are seeking candidates who are meticulous, hard-working, able to multi-task, have strong problem-solving skills and a high level of maturity and focus, and have a strong inherent interest in front-end programming. Strong written and verbal communication skills are important as well as a high level of personal organization. A focus on completing scheduled work within budgeted hours for a project is required. Good stress management and the ability to meet deadlines are essential.

Candidate should be able to work well with project teams, as well as interface with clients as needed.

Candidates must have at least 3 years of continuous industry experience in Web production and should be able to demonstrate current capabilities that are comparable to our existing standards.

Along with their resume, candidates should send examples of work in the form of URLs (live websites or stage sites), with a general overview of what their role was related to the work examples provided.

Freelancers would work on Web projects on an as needed, ongoing basis. Freelancers must be fully set up to work remotely. We would prefer applicants within driving range of our Baltimore, MD office; subcontractors/freelancers ideally need to be able to come into our office for meetings on occasion and potentially, on occasion, travel to meet with clients as part of our project team. We will consider candidates that are not local if the candidate strongly matches our needs and has a high level of availability, communication and responsiveness.
