The Onion is looking for a front-end web developer to join our web technology team; the position is based in our Chicago office.
We're looking for someone who: - is a religious fanatic about semantic markup and clean styling. - is comfortable working with templating languages. (In our case, you would be working with Django templates.) - can take a designer's mockup and work with back-end developers to transform it into a living page with a modern UI. - can work with Javascript and is familiar with jQuery. - has no problem dealing with the insane variety of browser quirks out there (particularly regarding our favorite villain, Internet Explorer). - either knows, or is willing to learn, some degree of Python programming. (You don't need to be an expert here.) - is capable of working with a team that is distributed across the United States. (We use IRC, IM, and daily conference calls to coordinate our activities, and it works pretty well; we also all meet up in Chicago a couple of times per year.) - is willing to have a radio-controlled explosive device implanted to enforce compliance with corporate demands. (Okay, maybe not ... but we can dream, right?) In return, we can give you: - the opportunity to work on websites enjoyed by millions of people a month: The Onion and The A.V. Club. - a casual office environment filled with smart, fun people; Chicago's our corporate headquarters, so you'll get to meet people involved in business, ad sales, and print production, as well as the editorial staff of The A.V. Club. - an easy commute via mass transit, as we're a 30-second walk from the Chicago Brown Line "L" station. - the chance to participate in The A.V. Club's Taste Test features (which can range from interesting to disgusting). - money and benefits, since you probably need food and shelter while you're not at work furthering our agenda. Feel free to write me directly at tto...@theonion.com if you want to informally pick my brain about the company and the webtech team; I'm one of the team's back-end developers, and I can probably answer almost anything that doesn't involve HR stuff (e.g., compensation). To apply, write our HR director, Shannon Curtis, at scur...@theonion.com; she asks that you send along a cover letter, your resume, and compensation requirements. (She's also the coolest, most down-to-earth HR director I've ever known, which is a big deal if you've ever dealt with corporate bureaucracy before.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
