Developer in Westerville, OH, USA

Overview

Responsibilities
The Freelance Developer will work closely with tech leads, project management and the creative team to execute pixel perfect front-end builds making key decisions on Javascript architecture, CSS strategy, HTML5/CSS3 degradation, web fonts, social networking integration, html best practices and responsive design.

This position will focus on front-end development, and as such the candidate should have a solid working knowledge and ability to execute on modern web frameworks such as Bootstrap/Foundation & boilerplate.

• Understand the pace of advertising. Things move quickly, ideas are fluid and need to be guided home in a calm, professional and optimistic manor.
• Explain sensitive and complicated issues such as graceful degradation / cross-browser compatibility to other non-technical teams such as account and production.

• Bachelor’s degree. Computer Science Degree Preferred, or comparable experience
