(Jackson, MI)

RJ Michaels, Inc. is looking to add a person to our web development team. That person may be a designer, a front-end coder fully versed in standards compliant design, a back-end programmer familiar with PHP/MySQL ~ or you may be a little familiar with all of the above, but a master of none.

You'll be working on websites that span a broad variety of industries - from jewelry shops to economic development to manufacturing. Your duties will range from small updates to current sites to being involved in full-scale site redesigns. Or you may be tasked with deciphering Google Analytics or playing with social media.

The skills that we're looking for foremost are:

• A desire to learn new skills and technologies
• The ability to seek solutions independently
• The drive to work in a fast-paced environment
• The expectation to never create the same design twice
• A need to grow
• Ability to handle the small projects with the large ones
• Communication skills - written, verbal and interpersonal

Skills specific to your abilities may include:

• A great eye for visual design, color and typography
• Knowledge of the Adobe Creative Suite
• The ability to code clean HTML and CSS code by hand
• Experience with Joomla or Expression Engine
• Ability to write great JavaScript
• Knowledge of jQuery
• Can write PHP code - either from scratch or work within CMS platforms - that integrates with MySQL databases
• Utilize open source platforms, but don't use them as a crutch
• Familiarity with social media and its role in marketing
• Can deal with how HTML email renders in Outlook
• Knowledge of SEO

We're interested in what you can bring to our team, not trying to fit you into a perfect job description. You'll be joining a team of designers, developers, copywriters and account executives. Our jobs will shift according to what you can help with.

Who are we? We're an advertising and marketing firm serving mid-Michigan. We do a little print, a little public relations and a lot of websites. You can learn more about us at http://www.rjmichaels.com
