Developing Story
As a Jr. Developer, you’ll work directly with our development team to modify and change websites & digital projects that amplify our client’s story. That will involve building new sites and maintaining existing projects and platforms. Both will give you a view into our story-based approach to creating interactive experiences.
Responsive Solutions
Our junior developer is often a first responder to specific client requests for modest updates that enhance their website’s functionality or improve the client story. We have many long-standing relationships with clients, and part of what develops the trust that we have built is our ability to respond to requests and communicate promptly and clearly. This position requires good follow-through and an ability to close the communications loop with our clients when the update is complete.
Multi-faceted
You’ll have the opportunity to work on several things. From the front end, HTML/CSS work to platforms and interesting interactive solutions. We are a solutions-oriented and agile team. We like Swiss army knife sort of team players and will expose you to a wide range of challenges to address and projects to build. There will be the “normal” work and exposure to interesting variety and opportunities to grow.
Grow Forward
Speaking of growing. We’ll expect and support your growth. We’re hiring for someone who will roll up their sleeves and add value on day one, but we’re also hiring for potential and will support you in your development.
For day-to-day success, you will…
• Exhibit flexibility, kindness, and a willingness to learn. Yep, that’s the top
of the list!
• Be comfortable in ambiguity and shaping “something” into something extraordinary without paint-by-number instructions.
• Answer and support web or digital related tasks via our online ticketing system.
• Get cozy with the digital team and producers (project managers) to ensure web projects are on-brief, on-time, and smartly optimized to get results.
• Use your agility and curious mind to respond to new challenges in a fast-paced and rapidly changing environment.
• Work on a continuous delivery pipeline using our systems and run manual tests on software delivery packages.
• Collaborate with other teams and help enforce & encourage processes that support getting projects done on time.
• Be expected to actively participate in various stages of the software development lifecycle including design, development, testing, implementation, and maintenance.
For success in your first six months, you will…
• Take initiative in getting to know the folks you work with (welcome to a Zoom world).
• Collaborate with directors, producers, developers, designers, and IT to find solutions for our clients that are better than what they expected.
• Be able to make recommendations on the use of new and emerging technologies that fit within the QA wheelhouse.
• Provide clear time/resource estimates on project commitments and effectively deliver update & change requests.
Skills and Qualifications
• You are working on a university degree or actively trying to get into the field of development and have some equivalent work experience with a portfolio that showcases planning and results.
• You like forests, but you looove trees (detail-orientation is a must).
• You’re a quick student—especially of new software.
• You have an EQ that matches or supersedes your IQ — we hire just as much, if not more, based on values than strictly intellect or ability. If you’re humble, hungry, and servant-hearted—you’ve found your people!
• You have 2+ years of customer relationship work under your belt.
• You see feedback as prompting growth, rather than criticism.
• You’re right at home serving faith-based clientele (for our cause related work).
• You’re fluent in English—equally able to write or present.
• Some knowledge of Javascript, HTML, CSS, MYSQL, and the ability to edit within these types of languages.
