Job Marketplace - Conde Nast: FrontEnd Architect

Condé Nast Digital is seeking architect-level front end developers to become vital members of a team that builds and supports award-winning web sites for some of the world's top publishing brands such as VanityFair.com, GQ.com and Wired.com to name a few.

We're an established technology organization, running a cutting-edge open source stack, developing locally on Mac hardware, and controlling our versions with Mercurial. Our front end code is developed in shared libraries, so your commit may be powering a dozen or more sites very quickly. We promote a balanced work atmosphere; we expect great code but also provide a supportive environment that allows you to create it.

We are looking for engineers who take pride in writing reusable code with an emphasis on quality over quantity. The position requires architecting and designing code that can be easily enhanced and reused rather than writing one-offs. The ideal candidate will be innovative: interested in applying new techniques and design patterns, but also fluent in current best practices and standards. You'll be working with back end and front end engineers and product managers, rolling high-quality, reusable code for new products and features. You'll also be adding to and maintaining both site and shared library code, and giving input and direction to our development processes.

You should have:
    Expertise in HTML, CSS, and cross-browser layout issues
    Advanced JavaScript knowledge
    Expertise in a JavaScript library (jQuery preferred) - not just wiring up events on the DOM
    Knowledge of JavaScript design patterns and current issues and practices
    Awareness of the issues involved when creating shared code
    Experience writing code for humans, not just machines
    Experience with a server side framework and page templating (JSTL, .NET, RoR, etc)
    Experience with version control (DCVS such as Git or Mercurial ideal)
    Ability to consider and judge multiple approaches to a problem
    Ability to mentor junior team members

If you're interested, please contact us with your resume, cover letter, favorite development quote, and live code examples.
