7digital - #1 in digital media deliveryJavaScript Developer

Here at 7digital we have a vision for how people should have access to their music, and we're working hard on our next generation of applications to meet that vision. As a result of that, we need an additional User Interface Developer to join us. Specifically, this person should be somebody who knows their Javascript inside out; the application we're developing makes extensive use of the Ext Framework and JQuery. It also makes use of jsUnit and the Yahoo! UI Uploader along with Sound Manager and a little bit of Flash too. If you've got some experience of Flex and Air Development that would be an added bonus too.

There's an opportunity to be responsible for clarifying the requirements with the Product Owner too, meaning that you'll get to flex your IA skills, we currently use Blasamiq for Wire Framing purposes, if there's anything that you could add to that process, you'd have every opportunity to do so.

If the role sounds interesting to you, drop us an email with your CV and salary expectations to careers.inbox+development (at) 7digital.com stating that you're interested in the Javascript Developer role. Please, no agencies though, you're only wasting your own time and ours; we have no budget to use you for this role.

Unfortunately we're not able to pay the earth for this role but the salaries we have to offer are competitive and there's a lot of other benefits to be had working here.
