Senior Web Engineer at True Sparrow Systems

Location: Pune, India

Who we're looking for:
We want someone very comfortable with server-side web technologies such as PHP/Ruby, but at the same time someone who isn't afraid to treat JS/DHTML as a real language. Someone who will apply creative design and engineering rigor to front-end programming.

You should have:
  • Strong experience with PHP/Smarty.
  • Experience with Ruby On Rails (huge plus point)
  • Experience designing scalable, fault-tolerant databases.
  • Experience designing modular, object-oriented JavaScript.
  • As a guideline, we expect you have experience working on JavaScript/HTML/CSS ("AJAX") web applications.
  • A feel for good design -- both in terms of engineering and user experience.
  • Very strong practical knowledge of relevant W3C standards (XHTML, DOM, CSS).
  • Demonstrated expert-level knowledge in overcoming cross-browser compatibility problems in JavaScript and CSS.
  • Familiarity with http protocol and ability to use it for low-level troubleshooting.
  • Understanding of semantic coding and why it's important.
  • Tolerance for the overhead of rapidly iterating toward greater usability. Insistence on complete/frozen specifications just won't work here.

And some nice-to-haves:
  • experience with ActionScript
  • contributions made to an open source project
  • working knowledge of XML and XPath
  • working knowledge of SOAP based WebServices
  • cvs / svn
  • knowing your way around Unix
  • vi / emacs
  • handy with regexes
  • shell scripting

What would you be working on?
We're building a set of rich internet applications. You will be working on tools that radically simplify the creation, distribution and monetization of digital content on the web.

More specifically, you will be working on creating web-based multimedia management, authoring, and publishing environment.
