• Perform multibrowser testing and compatibility QA
• Troubleshoot site display issues, including CSS and JavaScript errors

Got the skills and experience? Here’s what we’re looking for:
• 3+ years of experience hand-coding Responsive HTML, CSS and JavaScript (HTML5, CSS3 and jQuery preferred)
• Bootstrap Framework experience
• Experience with Knockout or other JavaScript frameworks is a plus
• Strong responsive web development experience is a plus
• Good understanding of REST and AJAX calls 
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to interact closely with UX designers, back end developers, Marketing and QA teams
• Experience with content management systems (Endeca a plus) and code repositories (CVS/SVN/Git) 
• Exposure to e-commerce websites and JSP/Java web environments a plus
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment where tasks change on a daily/weekly basis
• Ability to work as a self-starter, both as part of a team and independently, with minimal supervision

And here’s our end of the bargain! 
• Competitive compensation based on skills and experience
• Excellent medical/dental and vision coverage—EPO, PPO and HSA
• 401(k) retirement plan with company contribution (because you will retire someday)
• Flexible benefits—choose what you like, ignore the rest
• Exceptional training and support, and all the resources you need to be successful
• Super-awesome annual profit bonus plan
• On-site preschool for our employees’ children
• On-site employee gym for all levels/fitness needs
• Generous employee discount
• Casual dress…and we really mean it
