Cerego

Tokyo, Japan

Web UI Developer

-

We’re an ambitious start-up of less than 25 employees smack in the middle of the world’s most futuristic city, Tokyo, Japan, in the Shibuya district. We don’t have a park, and we don’t have any burritos, but we’ve got all kinds of odd characters working here, from brilliant geeks and semi-coherent visionaries to otaku-freaks and electronic music event organizers. Plus a banker or two just to keep things on the straight and narrow. We’re an interesting, smart group from all over the world (Iceland, Australia, the United States, Holland, Korea, Romania, Canada, Japan, the Philippines, Sweden, Belgium, and Italy, the last time we checked) united in a quest to change the way people learn.

Are You One of Us?

We’re going to solve big problems, in big ways. Or die trying. If you want to tackle tough problems at the intersection of learning, human memory, social web applications, and social media, you might be one of us. Or you might not. How about you drop us a line and found out?

What You Need to Be:

We’re looking for people who are smart, independent, and creative; who are happy with a pace of constant change and constant challenge; who can learn quickly on their own and make decisions under fire; and who combine analytical skills with outside-the-box dreaming. Passionate interest and involvement in open source, the open social web, ruby on rails, user interface design, computational linguistics, AI, and computer-assisted learning are a big big plus.

We require you to demonstrate experience in:

    * Hand-coding D/XHTML, JavaScript, CSS 2
    * Image production techniques using Photoshop, Illustrator and Image Ready
    * Developing and testing across multiple browsers, platforms, DOM implementations, etc
    * Estimating and scoping development work accurately
    * Attention to detail

We prefer those who can demonstrate experience in:

    * Ruby on rails, PHP, JSP or other frameworks used to develop dynamic web pages
    * Rich Internet Applications, Adobe Flash and AJAX, particularly technical and coding aspects such as Object Oriented Action Script
    * User Interface Design, Information Architecture, Web design
    * Optimizing for Search Engines
