If you're in the Seattle area, Sporcle is looking for a web developer.
You'll work in a team to maintain and improve our profitable flagship site as well as other web properties for the Sporcle brand. As a fast-moving startup, we want to bring on talented, energetic individuals with a passion for developing platforms for fun and innovative games that are played by millions. We strive to maintain a casual and fun work environment (bring your dog or goldfish!), but we're serious about meeting our deadlines to produce the best experience for our users and contributors.
Responsibilities:
-) Design, develop and test optimized web applications using CSS, HTML5, Javascript, working with PHP, MySQL, 3rd party libraries and services
-) Work as a team member to ensure that implementation details translate through to testing plans and deployment on our sites
-) Show product ownership through collaboration with product managers, designers, other developers to build scalable robust applications.
-) Excellent inter-personal and communication skills, including clear and concise writing for specifications, documentation and test plans.
-) Ability to switch rapidly between different projects in a fast-paced environment
As the next Sporcle employee, what you should bring to the table is:
-) Enthusiasm and passion for web applications and mobile gaming
-) Attention to detail and a hunger for stability and performance
-) Familiar with the quirks and limitations of css and javascript in a multi-browser environment
-) Know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em; Understand when to embrace and extend existing code, not just rewrite from scratch.
-) Comfortable working in a Linux &#38; open-source environment with source control and other content management tools.
-) Able to commute to Sporcle's office in Seattle, Washington (We're in Fremont across from the Burke Gilman trail)
-) BA/BS degree or higher, preferably in CS or a combination of education and applicable experience
-) Entry level applicants with relevant experience are encouraged to apply.  Being part of a small company means that there's no help desk, no formal review committees or rigid structure. We work as a team, but everyone is expected to be an independent problem solver with the ability to research and solve their own issues. We have plans and goals, but also embrace change and a little bit of chaos.
Already a Sporcle user? We'd love to know more about your experiences with the site or our mobile apps. Include your Sporcle handle and tell us about your favorite games.
