London/UK, on-site
Timetric (<a href="http://timetric.com" >http://timetric.com</a>) are looking for a Javascript engineer.
We're trying to make the world a better place by making data more accessible, and we believe modern web technologies are the best way to do that.
The work we do is highly visible in digital media and around the world, and we believe strongly that there are real, hard, problems to be solved in making data visualizations that are both beautiful and - just as important - highly usable.
Right now we've got deep and burning need for a Javascript engineer to help us build out our visualization frameworks and design. We've got a lot of great code at the moment; heavy use of Backbone.js to keep the codebase manageable, and we're actively ensuring that we're not held back by legacy browser support. But we've got a lot more that we want to do, and we need your help.
* You should be able to think yourself into the user's mind and understand the difference between making complex
operations seem simple, and treating the user like a moron.
* You should have a healthy respect for the issues involved in making rich and usable applications over an asynchronous, unreliable network - and also for the rewards that come from doing it right where few others can.
* You should have strong opinions on web usability and design, and be unafraid to express them.
* You need to have rock solid JS skills, and a robust understanding of modern HTML and CSS implementations.
* You should be used to working in a collaborative environment where everything is run through version control and every line of code is reviewed.
* And if you've got a github profile with a portfolio of work for us to look at, we'd be over the moon.
