Description:
Here at Spectrum, our Front End Developers create websites and software tools that generate leads for our small- to medium-sized client companies throughout North America and we are looking for bright and creative individuals to create clever and inviting sites and tools that will set our clients and our team apart from our competitors. If you are a self-motivated individual, eager to grow in a position that appreciates artistry as much as functionality and creativity, then read on to learn how Spectrum can give you the skills and environment you need to create your masterpiece.
SOME CHARACTERISTICS THAT DEFINE YOU
As a Front End Developer, you know that your job is much more than graphic design, web development, or creative alone. You are an artist, an engineer, and multitude of other things which make you the stellar developer that you are. As such, here are just a few traits that define our Front End Developers here at Spectrum:
- Developers. Design is a unique opportunity to combine the artistry and creativity of the web with the functionality and logic of a scientist and an inventor. Our front-End Developers are design engineers just as much as they are artists.
- Detail-Oriented. White space and themed projects are some of our best friends in the design and development department. We love to see a site come perfectly together and we know you hate to see tiny details and bad Photoshop jobs ruin a beautiful project.
- Visionaries. One of the things we love about design here at Spectrum is that it’s constantly evolving. Whether you are working on a new internal software platform or innovative new client site, we are always looking for ways to improve our products and increase your knowledge base as a developer.
- Curious. As developers and digital marketers, we have the unique opportunity to create interactive and functional pieces of art. As developers, we’re not only proud of those projects but curious why some are more successful than others and seek to understand which designs work best.
- Business-Savvy. Beyond the wicked Front End development skills you bring to the table, we also want you to consider the business implications of our websites and software tools. From the ways our team will use them to how our clients and their customers will interact with our sites, we always want you to keep the user and the business application in mind.
