Music Co - Front End Engineer - NYC

[Recruiting.IO]

Hi All,

I am a recruiter/geek. I am a fan of JSAN and the appropriate use of
namespaces. Did Zeev really say PHP 6 is far from released?

Can you help me: I am looking for a great developer to do front end
web design and coding at a major music company’s centralized web
group.

• Work on a team “gets” where digital music is heading, and is
charted with making it happen for a music major.
• Work for a design genius who is from a major social web company,
charged with expanding their social media presence.
• Build sites for major artists, as well as the platform level
services (like eCommerce) that appear across their network of 100s of
artist sites.

Thanks for any help or recommendations you can provide.
