Web Developer
Brave New Films is looking for a full-time Web Developer to guide and implement our online efforts. This is a unique and exciting opportunity for the right person to use their tech talents to help build vital progressive infrastructure.
Responsibilities include:
- Build HTML websites with light PHP code as well as more robust sites with programming languages
- Be on top of developments in social media, trends and technologies to guide and inform our distribution strategy
- Help determine new ideas using technology to reach people
- Manage ecommerce and donation infrastructure including set up donation pages on our sites
- Address technical aspects of online distribution (upload videos to YouTube, write FBML for Facebook as needed, etc.)
- Develop queries to pull segments of our emails list when needed
Skill Set:
- Experience in Ruby on Rails, Django, CakePHP, or other programming languages
- Excellent knowledge of MySQL
- Ability to quickly develop a web site that integrates with our email and donation tools
- Good attention to detail
- Enjoys fast-paced environment of politics
We use technologies and services like PHP, MySQL, Wordpress, Disqus, DemocracyInAction/Salsa, Ultracart, Google Analytics, and Authorize.net.
We care less about writing perfect code or complying with every standard, and more about birthing the clever idea that'll wreak havoc on the establishment.
Politics moves fast. We have some pretty intense deadlines, so we're pragmatic. Think startup meets non-profit political rabble rousers. We also get along well with people that have an excellent work ethic, juggle multiple tasks under tight deadlines, and realize this is not a 9-5 job.
Our offices are located in the shadow of Sony studios in Culver City, CA (LA) and we're open to the person working on-site or living elsewhere in the U.S.
In your cover note, provide a list of sites you have developed.
Please forward cover note and resume to Laura at laura@bravenewfilms.org
