Web/JavaScript Developer

Are you a talented web developer who wants to build best-of-class web applications for mobile and desktop web? Do you want to work with talented developers and interact with your clients instead of dealing with project managers? Do you want to see the fruits of your labor out in the wild rather than working on internal, corporate projects that never launch?

Do you think JavaScript only gets a bad wrap because most developers don't understand prototypal inheritance? Or maybe you think Compass' image spriting features are the COOLEST THING EVER. Maybe you're one of the few that think they're merely AWESOME.

If you've answered yes to a few of the above questions, we'd love to talk to you. To be successful at this job you will have exceptional JavaScript skills, a friendly personality and the ability to work in collaboration with other developers and our clients.

Do any of these apply to you as well?

You've built something cool using Backbone.js, AngularJS, or some other client-side MV* framework. Know HTML(5) and CSS(3) inside and out. You know Less, SASS or some other CSS preprocessor. Maybe you've even built your own toolkit that sits on top of your preprocessor of choice. You've worked with at least one high-level server-side language. You can clearly articulate why "responsive design" isn't a panacea. You appreciate being called a hacker. You love the web. You really love mobile devices.

I'm neither a recruiter nor the hiring manager, just a developer working here at Zappos. It's a great work environment, lots of challenging problems to solve with great people around you to help you out.

The environment is fun, but focussed - serious work is done and you're provided with the tools you need to get the job done. Excellent equipment provided, and Vegas is a great place to live and work.

An understanding of and strong experience with JavaScript, HTML and CSS is important for this role. Other languages and platforms are beneficial too, and others are in use.

  Web, backend, machine learning, mobile dev - SF - H1B
Zite (http://zite.com) is a company with machine learning and data at its core: our goal is to use deep personalization technology to give people news they wouldn't be able to find any other way. We're looking for engineers eager to dig into big data, both on the scalability front and on relevance. We think that personalization technology should be used for more than optimizing your google queries—it should instead be at the core of a product (think Pandora).
