ABOUT THE COMPANY

===

Smoke & Mirrors is a leading Post Production and VFX transcreation house. We work in the heart of Soho, in the thick of a great creative media environment. We work with and share chic new office space with some brother and sister companies who are doing similar high-end work delivering brand messages for our clients in over 180 countries and in over 200 languages. 150,000 brand marketeers, procurement specialists and agency partners access our services and technology each and every month.

ABOUT THE JOB

===

We need a talented front end web dev to help build more intelligent application suites, in an agile environment, to service internal projects.

We’re a small team looking for a well-rounded developer, but whose current interest and focus is on UI and is interested in performance, data-intensive web apps and automated testing.

We have an existing groundbreaking internal application engine - which uses semantic-web technologies - that’s ready for launch: it’s been designed to flexibly model many business processes to eventually replace multiple legacy applications. You’ll continue that project with the existing backend-focused developer, with the goal of shaping the framework to forge into our second business-domain app replacement, whilst continuing to shape the code for further launches.

You’ll also get the opportunity to contribute ideas and code to Smoke & Mirrors’ ongoing involvement in UK government-backed cutting-edge research projects where there's scope to learn a lot of new technologies from talented and venerated academics and professionals.

- Helping with UI, design and collaborative ideas and architecture for multi-party projects

- Several years’ hands-on web development experience

- Computer Science Qualification

- Excellent Javascript skills

- Deep knowledge of HTML5/CSS3

- Angular JS >1 year dev

- Node.js proven experience

Description:

When you look up and out over the city, does your mind drift towards questions about how the world works? Do you feel like you could do more than what you're doing now? Deep in the vast blue grand planet there exists a voice calling you, growing from a whisper all the way to a roaring rush of inspiration: Build.

We want to do great things too. We want to inspire this driving voice in others. We're a small group inside of Make (makezine, makerfaire, etc), that is setting out on a journey to explore how people interact, share, and publish their experiences online. This isn't code for stealth mode, you'll be shaping a product from its inception, launch, and beyond.

We're looking for critical thinkers that also want to bring smart talent to the pack. If you enjoy building projects from scratch, wearing many hats, and learning a lot along the way, then this is your place.

These are some of the things we're immediately looking for:

- Full-stack developers with startup experience. (Experience scaling is a big plus) - JS (Front-end frameworks) - Rails, Node - Postgres, MongoDB, MySQL, etc (Use what works) - Bonus: Having read Diamond Age, Snow Crash, Neuromancer - Extra Bonus: Interest in Machine Learning

What we offer:

- Typical equipment you would expect: Laptop, Monitor, Food/Snacks - Free passes to Make events

Our culture:

- On Fridays, we'll build extracurricular software/hardware projects. Want to learn how to use an oscilloscope, code some microcontrollers, build an autonomous robot, or talk to a satellite? Cool. We'll hack on that. - We have access to awesome amounts of makers. We'll bring some of them in every month to chat with us. - We're also right by the Exploratorium: Expect field trips.

Send us an email with some projects you've created. Bonus points for launching and having actual battlefield stories.
