Flow Communications is looking for a senior web developer in its Johannesburg office.
Company
Flow is considered one of South Africa’s top web-development companies, and with you on board, it wants to be even better!
Flow is not into titles, but when it says “senior” it means that you can hold a meeting, take a brief, manage potential project roadblocks, problem-solve effectively and communicate exceptionally well with all parties involved in the web-development process.
To do this, you’ll have to have the skills and knowledge to back up your point of view and be able to deliver high quality work in budget and on time. (No pressure!)
Job description
You’re going to have to pick up on old code produced by other designers and re-factor it, maintain existing websites and build new ones using frameworks such as Jquery, 960.gs and ExpressionEngine.
You will be expected to interact on a daily basis with designers, journalists and developers who have built sites like www.capetown.travel, www.gauteng.net and www.etana.co.za – enterprise-level sites that require you to develop complex architectures and anticipate future developments.
Please submit your CV together with a covering letter that demonstrates your communication abilities. Your covering letter should summarise why you’re a good fit for Flow Communications.
Please also provide two contactable references. Please submit your application and CV before January 31, 2012.
Requirements
In your CV and interview, you will have to demonstrate:
- An understanding of the full website development lifecycle from concept to final production.
- The ability to communicate effectively and concisely with experience to back up your decisions and viewpoints.
- Problem-solving ability.
- Proficiency in XHTML/CSS and Javascript (we use the Jquery framework).
- Working knowledge of PHP and templating (ExpressionEngine/Wordpress preferable).
- At least two years’ agency experience (that is, working with a team of people to produce a website).
- How you develop yourself professionally on a daily basis.
