CGI Interactive is an established B2B marketing and multimedia agency. As a web developer you will be working on a diverse set of projects for large name brand companies. As such you should be comfortable working with a wide range of technologies in a team environment on major marketing initiatives. Our team works hard and plays hard in a relaxed, yet professional environment.
On the front end, you should be familiar with standard javascript and at least one major framework (jQuery, Dojo, Mootools). Experience with open source CMS technologies a plus (think: Drupal, Wordpress, Joomla), but exclusivity or expertise with one platform at the expense of standard XHTML is not. Your day to day will involve bringing complex designs to life across a variety of platforms; and to succeed in this position knowledge of legacy browser support, familiarity with the Adobe suite, a mastery of CSS, and ability to generate a clean implementation in a deadline driven environment will be necessary.
On the back end you should be comfortable in a standard LAMP environment. Experience designing database schemas and writing APIs to facilitate data exchange is required. An ideal candidate will also have experience configuring or maintaining a Debian based LAMP stack.
Presenting technical concepts and solutions to clients and coworkers, estimating hours, and adhering to deadlines and budgets will be a daily reality in this position. As such it is absolutely vital that you are able to communicate effectively to people outside of the tech sphere.
Candidates with all of the above plus experience doing mobile development or writing object oriented AS3 move to the top of the list.
