This position will start out as a part-time/contract-to-hire position to help the client work through a back log of projects.

The developer needs to be a team player with a great personality. They need to be dependable, responsible, function well under deadlines, a self-starter, able to work independently, and able to take instructions easily. Our ideal developer will have a positive “can-do” attitude. Our developer will know when a project warrants “perfection” in coding or when it is simply requires “what-ever it takes to get the job done fast”, and be comfortable with both. Our developer needs to be a fast learner comfortable with wearing multiple hats and taking the lead on a project if called on to do so.

Job Title: Front End Engineer and User Experience Designer
Location: Portland, Ore.
Compensation: DOE
One of our clients is seeking that powerful mix of design guru who just also happens to be able to write some mean code. We’re willing to go with someone light on backend programming skills as long as they more than make up for it with impressive UX design chops. We are constantly building web-centric data driven applications that require a solid understanding of information and feature management. The ideal candidate would be excellent at creating simple intuitive interfaces for rich-client web apps; designing for mental models, not implementation models; doing this all very quickly and iteratively of course.
Responsibilities would include:

  • Work with product owners to understand requirements and then craft a design using a rapid tool (white board, Balsamiq, wireframes… something else) that conveys that aha moment.
  • Build views for MVC based applications
  • Improve the design and information architecture of the entire application, iteratively.
  • Assist in rebuilding a customer and prospect management system.
  • Assist in building other tools and mini applications as needed.
  • Continually develop skills as a member of an agile development team.
