We are seeking an experienced front end developer with excellent CSS, HTML and JavaScript skills. You must be a real guru with lots of experience building out standards compliant, cross-browser compatible sites. You won't be expected to be a designer as well but that would be a distinct advantage. This is a hybrid role that sits somewhere between a developer and a designer but the focus is really on taking designs and expertly cutting the front end code to very high standards. A demonstrable interest in social software would also be highly desirable but not essential.

You will spend much of your time working closely with consultants, designers and other developers in our teams. As such, in addition to very high technical standards, we also expect you to have good social and communication skills and be used to working well in a team environment.

In return we'll offer a competitive salary, an informal working environment (no suits required) in a great location and fabulous office in Shad Thames / Butler's Wharf, where you'll have easy access to great coffee, good restaurants and get to work alongside a bunch of knowledgeable and passionate people joined together by a desire to help change the way people collaborate and communicate.

Must be expert in:

• Semantic, standards-compliant (X)HTML
• CSS
• Accessibility
• Cross-browser compatibility

Proficient in:

• Javascript - your Javascript should be unobtrusive; we prefer Progressive Enhancement to Graceful Degradation.

Any experience with the following is an advantage:

• Javascript libraires such as jQuery, Prototype, YUI
• Visual design
• Interaction design
• Ruby on Rails
• PHP
• ASP/ASP.net
• JSP
• Velocity
• Subversion or other version control tools
• Mac OS X
