e9digital is a boutique web agency located in Midtown Manhattan. We specialize in developing advanced CMS and marketing websites for serviced based businesses like lawyers, accountants, photographers and architects.

We’re looking for people that live, eat and breathe designing and developing websites. Well, maybe you shouldn’t be that obsessed, but you should definitely have real-world experience and truly love doing this work.

To join our team, you don’t need to be on the bleeding edge and you don’t need to be a rockstar, but you should be a mature professional familiar with the latest technology and trends. We'd be quite pleased if you helped us push the envelope now and then.

We’re not looking to do "on the job" training. You don’t have be an expert in everything, but you must be competent and execute the tasks we require from day one.

Benefits for our full-time position include a competitive salary with health, dental insurance; two weeks paid vacation; a nice desk with an Aeron chair in a sun-lit, loft office; the daily delight of seeing your work make a real-world impact. 

We have the following full time openings:

Senior Front End Web Developer - Must have experience with CMS's

Applicants only - NO RECRUITERS PLEASE

You need to be a master of the "front end," an expert in hand-coding semantic HTML, a pro with CSS and table-less layouts. High level JavaScript, jQuery and AJAX is a big plus and experience with CMS's is required.

You don't need to be a web designer, but you need to be proficient in rendering web graphics out of Photoshop and Illustrator. Design sensitivity is critical.

You should strive for pixel perfection and maintain design integrity from PSD to HTML.

Some design skill is a big plus. We don't need you to design anything per se, but you should have enough creativity to be able to extrapolate from, or "interpret" base designs well enough so our lead designer doesn't have to define the style of every little thing.

You absolutely must be detail-oriented.

Responsibilities:

• Work independently and with a team to create HTML/CSS markup and templates with a strong focus on clarity, maintainability, cross-browser compatibility and performance.
• Set up and configure sites using our custom, Rails 3 driven CMS.  This is not a back-end position, but some minor CMS related coding will be required.  For example, rearranging HTML templates written in HAML/Ruby to fit different layouts.
• Deploy sites to our web stack.  We run a cloud infrastructure of nginx and Unicorn.  It’s managed by Chef which makes deployments relatively painless (we’ll show you how).  But those who fear the command-line or a bit of troubleshooting need not apply.
• Be proficient in Photoshop & Illustrator to render the graphical assets required for our websites.
• Participate in requirements gathering and functional specification activities, providing feedback on implementation feasibility as well as navigable prototypes/mockups.
• Develop and lead the implementation of front-end web coding and design standards, writing clear, clean, and concise code.
• Work closely with designers, artists, engineers and testers to contribute to the overall user experience.  Stay up to date on latest trends and emerging technologies within the UI community.

• Expertise in HTML & CSS; proficient with (or willing to learn) HAML & SASS
• Expertise in theming/styling dynamic template-driven CMS systems (Rails?  A big plus)
• Expertise in creating web assets from provided PSD files
• Programming experience (Ruby in particular) is a big plus.  Though not the focus of this position, *some minor Ruby coding will be required*.
• Experience using command-line tools; web server experience a plus (nginx)
• Proficient with JavaScript (We use jQuery extensively)
• Understanding of and experience with Ajax is a big plus.
• Experience with catering content for mobile device browsers is a plus.
• Understanding of web accessibility requirements is a plus.
• Experience with source control management systems is a plus (We use Git).
