Enthiosys is Hiring! UX Gurus — Come Have Some Serious Fun!
User Experience / User Interface Developer Job Req
Do you like to play games? Do you like to play serious games?
Do you want to change the world?
Enthiosys, Inc., the creator of Innovation Games®, is looking for an experienced user interface / user experience developer. We’re not looking for any developer. We’re looking for an extraordinary person – brilliant technical skills, acute design aesthetic, and a deep understanding of how well-designed user interfaces can support high-performance, scalable systems. Someone who cares about what’s underneath the covers as much as the craftsmanship and attention to detail that lead to compelling user experiences.
This isn’t any opportunity. This is the chance of a lifetime. You’ll get to work with a world-renowned team of experts. You’ll leverage cutting edge technology (Scala/Lift) to create new kinds of interaction models. You’ll join a team who believes that hard work is a gift, who is willing to argue and explore alternative solutions to complex problems, who celebrates our successes and cleans up our mistakes. We’re content, but never satisfied.
You must possess a stellar technical background (DHTML, CSS 1-3, JavaScript, AJAX, and, preferably, SVG/VML) with the proven ability to create secure, scalable, standards compliant solutions. You may also be asked to lend a helping hand in jointly managing our Linux systems (respect root!), participating in deployment and operations of DNS, web servers, and related infrastructure elements. You’ll also have experience with social software.
You need to grok everything from Agile development practices to ambient findability. You need to be dynamic, fast working and absolutely reliable, capable of working under tight schedules while treating users with sensitivity and decorum. Good communication skills, attention to detail, patience, a sense of humor, and the ability to lead with a point of view are essential
Send your resume along with a description of how you’ll help us create online Innovation Games that makes us exclaim out loud “Wow! THAT’S COOL” along with a portfolio of your work what is so amazingly great we’ll be tweeting it to our friends.
