This position is 100% remote. Most of the work can be done on your own time. However, you will be in constant communication with other team members and will need to be available as such.
Secret: shhhhh…but, you will be our first “tech” hire. We are a bunch of marketers. Our site is put together with Elmer’s glue, duct tape and bailing wire. You have to promise NOT to laugh at us – at least to our face.

– Establishing and guiding the website’s architecture
– Ensuring high-performance and availability, and managing all technical aspects of the CMS
– Helping formulate an effective, responsive design and turning it into a working theme and plugin.

Skills and Qualifications:
– Mastery of front-end technologies, including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, jQuery
– Boatload of experience building user interfaces for websites and/or web applications
– Plethora (fancy word, eh?) of experience in designing and developing responsive design websites
– Ninja in working with debugging tools like Firebug, Chrome inspector, etc.
– Samurai in understanding CSS changes and their ramifications to ensure consistent style across platforms and browsers
– Ability to convert comprehensive layout and wireframes into working HTML pages
– Knowledge of how to interact with RESTful APIs and formats (JSON, XML)
