sports social network where people can share, celebrate and improve their
sporting performance. We are just about to enter our second phase of
development, and we are looking for a talented front-end web developer to join
the team. Our platform is built in Ruby on Rails, and although ruby experience
is highly desirable, we will consider candidates with strong front-end
development skills and experience in other languages, who are keen to work with
ruby. A passion for standards-compliant, semantic HTML and CSS is absolutely
essential. If writing clean markup is important to you, then we'd like to hear
from you.

* Standards-compliant HTML and CSS
* 3+ years experience of coding HTML by hand
* Javascript, preferably jQuery
* A passion for clean, semantic, cross-browser markup (yes, even IE6)
* Knowledge of powerful frontend techniques e.g. CSS resets, grid systems,
font replacement (e.g. Cufón), clearfix, avoiding !important where possible
* Experience of version control (preferably git)
* Understanding of MVC frameworks (preferably Rails)
Desirable
* Experience of Ruby and Rails
* HTML5 and CSS3
* Mobile Design
* Experience working in an agile environment, particularly with automated
testing
* Less/SASS
* MySQL
* Linux/UNIX skills
Other potentially useful skills
* Web design
* Photoshop
* An interest in sport (not essential)
Further Details
* Position opened on 8th September 2010
* Full time
* Starting immediately/as soon as possible
* Working from our office near London Bridge
* Salary dependent on experience
In order to be considered for this role, we will need to see some examples of
your work. To apply, please send us the URLs of at least three websites you
have worked on and explain which aspects of the site you were responsible for.
Please also write a few sentences about why you feel you are suitable for the
role and attach a recent CV if you have one. If you don't have a recent CV,
a Linkedin profile link or similar is fine. Please also send us other links you
feel are relevant e.g. your github account, your blog, your twitter username etc.
