Job advert: TimeFiler Web Application Developer (strong JavaScript/Ajax skills)

[Morris]

http://www.seek.co.nz/Job/web-application-developer/in/canterbury-christchurch/21296821

This was my job, which I am giving up because of recent upheavals in my own life (unrelated to TimeFiler - I still enjoy working with everyone there, and I am still working part-time in a support role). Jo and Toni are driving the recruitment process, although I can answer technical questions.

Thanks

Morris

A brief outline of your role:

• We are looking for a lead developer and designer for the Online and Mobile User Interface for the TimeFiler product
• Your starting point is the existing online user interface implemented as a single page Ajax front-end framework (for desktop browsers but also functional on mobile Safari on iOS, and PhoneGap based iPad app). The position has little use for traditional server-side scripting skills
• Based in Riccarton, Christchurch

You will need:

• A passion for developing and designing elegant, functional user interfaces that suit both new and advanced users
• Ability to craft and develop a pure JavaScript framework and UI controls
• Advanced experience with JavaScript
• In-depth knowledge of DOM events, the DOM API, and browser quirks
• Ability to collaborate in team to design features
• Experience using source control, and as a bonus, PhoneGap experience, iOS development experience plus Apple app store approval processes
• A good eye for composition, colour, balance, detail and function
• Proven experience of working on projects from start to finish, completing them with minimal guidance, and with an obsessive attention to details
• Effective verbal and written communication skills, and the ability to take the initiative to be productive and efficient
