On the Floor

We are seeking a junior web developer to join our Web Division.

The factor[e] Web Division is responsible for developing complex, cutting-edge web applications as well as building a constant stream of beautifully designed smaller websites. You will be joining an agile development team that develops advanced software using the latest in open-source technologies and platforms, including Ruby, Rails, and jQuery.

Our team is small, dedicated, passionate, and very talented. We're also easy-going, and our office is gorgeous. We are small, but we're on our way to making a name for ourselves.

Qualifications

Eventually, your role will be as a Ruby developer, however, we understand that there are very few Ruby programmers in our area. For that reason, experience in any web programming language will qualify you for this position: ASP, .NET, Java, PHP, Perl, Python, etc. Ruby experience, of course, will be a definite asset.

In order to quickly attain productivity in our team, you also have web design skills: the ability to take an existing layout in Photoshop and create a (mostly) table-free HTML and CSS layout from it that is cross-browser compatible with minimal browser hacks. Experience with Javascript and jQuery is also an asset.

We are NOT interested in hiring a contractor OR a company for this position, you must be available to work in our Hamilton office as a full-time employee of factor[e].

Requirements

• A passion for web development
• Programming experience or education in at least one web programming language
• Web design skills, including Photoshop, HTML and CSS

Compensation

Salary will be commensurate with education, experience, and the fact we are based in a small city, where the cost of living is low (houses here are a third of what they cost in Toronto) and the rates we can charge our clients are less than if we were based in New York or LA. For that reason, candidates who are from our local area, or who are willing to relocate here, would be happiest.
