Web Software Engineer

Mobile Web Software Engineer

Nitobi is seeking an experienced software engineer specializing in web and mobile application development with a focus on JavaScript, HTML and modern web architecture and interaction. The candidate will work on mobile web applications, user interface development and integration for clients from around the world.

The qualified candidate will know all about the latest features of HTML5, CSS3 and ES5. You will also know not just how to use popular JavaScript libraries like jQuery but how they are written to take advantage of features of the JavaScript language; bonus points if you have actually written your own JavaScript library. You should be able to write tests and track bugs. Experience with error handling and debugging of JavaScript applications is also required.

Experience with mobile development on any of the major mobile phone platforms (iOS, Android, BlackBerry, Windows Phone 7, webOS) is a definite plus but not a deal breaker. You should at least own a phone that runs one of those operating systems.

This is a great position if you are excited about leading the mobile web field. You will be working directly with our close knit development team to improve the quality and usability of our software. You should be able to take ownership of client projects and be comfortable with all aspects of a project from estimating to running meetings to plugging in and writing code. Being obsessed with usability and high quality software is definitely going to help. If you are excited about learning from leaders in mobile web software this position is for you. If you are interested in this position do something interesting that will catch our attention — preferably mobile web related!
