Front End Developer

Hammerkit is a cloud technology provider focused on serving the PR and marketing industry with high quality digital production solutions. We have recently secured growth capital and are seeking to strengthen our platform development and infrastructure team.
 
We are looking for a Front-End Developer to focus on the development of user experience of the Hammerkit platform and Cloudstore services. The person we seek will be a UI/UX specialist with experience of delivering simple, elegant design solutions that dramatically improve the usability and productivity of web software.
 
We aim to position Hammerkit and the leading repeatable solutions platform for digital production and your input will ensure that our development platform delivers on that promise.
 
The skills we require are: 
  • A good understanding of how to design browser based user interfaces of editor-like applications
  • XHTML / HTML5
  • Modern and efficient use of CSS in web design: knowledge of CSS3 features and an ability to separate design from content and functionality 
  • JavaScript; jQuery and Ajax technologies
  • Object oriented PHP (5.3)
  • Standard software development tools and practices, such as SVN, bug trackers, agile methods
 
Knowledge of MySQL and the HTTP protocol would be desirable.
 
The type of person we are seeking will:
  • Have a real interest in and experience of designing user interfaces that make the users' work faster, easier and even fun.
  • Have the skills to communicate with end users to find out their needs. You will not be designing a tool for yourself but for the target audience.
  • Be pedantic and not be afraid of pixel tweaking, but at the same time understand how to focus on the big picture instead of pixels.
  • Be able to prioritize the UI’s reliability and consistency over aesthetic perfection

We offer you a full-time job, competitive salary, interesting projects to work with and opportunity to join the our journey of making Hammerkit a leading player in the digital repeatable solutions industry.
