job opportunity

In times of financial crisis a company should be more than happy to have plenty of work, but when that work keeps piling up and time proves itself unwilling to bend, measures need to be taken. And so Internet Architects, the company I work for, is looking to reinforce its development team. Here's your chance.

A short introduction of our company is probably a good place to start. Internet Architects is an Antwerp-based company involved in the creation of websites. Our aim is to be good at what we do, making sure both our clients and us can be proud of the work we deliver. We handle everything from strategy to front-end development, going through information architecture, wireframing and design phases in between. What we don't do is the actual implementation of a site, which is handled by partners, allowing us to chose freely between possible technologies for each site.

We are currently looking for someone to help out with front-end development. Your job will be to create static templates based on wireframes and graphical designs, using html, css and javascript. You'll be doing this together with my colleagues and I who will help you in reaching the quality levels we try to uphold. This will include browser testing, writing flexible and manageable html, css and javascript and working with concepts as accessibility, graceful degradation and unobtrusiveness in mind.

If you've not mastered all of these skills yet, don't despair. We are looking for people with a soft spot for front-end development and with the unquenchable drive to get better at it, questioning everything and everyone in the process. Even ourselves. Do note that we are stationed in Antwerp (Belgium) and you will be required to work on site. Knowledge of the Dutch language is also considered a big plus.

So if you feel up to it (or know anyone that would be interested), be sure to drop us a note at jobs@internetarchitects.be and we'll be sure to contact you for further arrangements. Don't let this chance slip by!
