A client I’m working with on a long term basis is looking for a frontend (user experience) developer to work on a web application related to our project. It will be part of a standalone network media player appliance that runs a custom version of Webkit.

Must-have qualifications are:

• ability to turn Photoshop-based concepts into efficient, well-written and documented standards-based HTML/CSS
• experience using CSS3/HTML5 elements, transitions, display properties, and cross-browser compatibility fixes
• intermediate to advanced Javascript, jQuery skills for building interaction, effects, AJAX
• good time management, task estimation, interpersonal skills

Additional nice-to-have qualifications:

• experience working with HTML5 local storage
• experience working on media content library web applications
• experience with/awareness of industry best practices for user experience, usability, human centred design
• experience working with Ruby templates (rhtml)
• experience implementing/working with cross-platform streaming video technology (Flash, HTML5)
• experience working on mobile apps, both web and native
• experience working with teams across various time zones and geographic locations

Details:

• Position is a 3 month, full time contract. Geographic location isn’t critical but Western Canada is preferred, particularly Vancouver or Calgary.
• Work time is flexible but you’ll be required to account for full time hours, and be available for regular Skype calls with team members and vendor developers in other time zones (typically 9-10am or 5-6pm PST, though occasional availability in evenings is an asset)
• Client is considering opening a UX development office in Vancouver, so if you live here and they like your work, you’d be one of the first on a list of potential full-time staff. Consider this a “probationary” contract with an eye to full time employment should you desire it.
• Compensation comparable to local industry standard rates depending on experience/skill level
