We work on all kinds of digital projects for North America’s biggest and best advertising agencies. Our clients expect outstanding work from us and we’re looking for an outstanding developer to join our team. Here’s what we’re looking for:
1. Four plus years of Actionscript 3 Object Oriented Programming experience. You come preloaded with a large bag of tricks. If you don’t know the difference between Papervision and Away3D, Greensock and Tweener or the Extends and Implements keywords, you’re not our developer. You’ll get a copy of Flash Builder and will be expected to live in it (Flash CS5 is for really complicated animations, not coding).
2. Competent non-Flash front end skills. That means html, css and javascript. We’re not going to make you do anything crazy in IE6 but some styling skills are mandatory (and every good Flash developer knows that javascript is really quite easy).
3. Knowledge of at least one backend programming language including database interaction. We’d prefer that language be PHP but we’ll respect you if it’s anything else (even .NET or something fresh like Node). You won’t be writing CRM apps for automotive clients but we would like to be able to throw a fun Facebook application your way every once in a while. Linux skills would make us happy too.
4. Legal ability to work in Canada. Geographic ability to work at an office at Spadina and Wellington in Toronto.
5. Because we do 99% of our client communications by phone and email, you’re going to need outstanding English written and verbal communication skills.
6. A post-secondary education (university degree is preferred but if you got yours running a surf camp in Thailand or counting condors in the Andes, we’re listening).
7. Ability to meet deadlines with a smile on your face. This is a tough business and it’s not for the faint of heart. Fun is paramount or we all go crazy.
8. Possession of that crazy, rare skill of making the Internet feel like magic.
9. Some links to show us and a description of your involvement in those projects.
10. Experience and passion in something awesome that doesn’t involve work.
In return, you’ll get to work on some of the best Flash projects out there while stuffing your portfolio with Fortune 500 goodies. We have a fun little office at Spadina and Wellington and a generous benefits plan. There’s usually beer in our fridge and a cabinet of hard liquor no one really touches.
If interested, please send your resume/portfolio to jobs@wearelollipop.com with “Senior Interactive Developer” in the subject line.
