[Job] Javascript/ExtJS Web Apps Developer - Manchester, UK.
Posted: Mon Jun 07, 2010 8:26 am
We are a small company providing an on-line behaviour data management and analysis facility for schools. We are currently developing a new, cutting edge data management facility with a view to entering the school MIS market. Our USP will be to provide a lean, simple to use, cost effective alternative to the bloated, inefficient and expensive applications currently marketed to schools by big corporations. Your role will be to construct the GUI for this application using JavaScript and with the use of an API to connect to the database.
This is a golden opportunity for the right candidate to join a non-hierarchical company, with a strong social conscience, on the ground floor and to grow with it – professionally and financially. We embrace the concepts of open source and the free sharing of data. Our mission is to make a difference in British education, not make a fortune for our shareholders. If you don’t fancy working for a big, faceless corporation; if you want the freedom to develop your skills and make a real and valuable contribution to education, if you want real job satisfaction, then give us a call.
Specific Knowledge, Experience, Skills and Qualities Required:
Desirable: Experience of ExtJS, design and construction of GUIs and user input forms. A flair for graphic design skill would be very advantageous.
Essential: High level of skill in and knowledge of JavaScript.
Must be: enthusiastic, flexible, adaptable and willing to learn and develop own skills. Able to work without close supervision and on your own initiative. Be willing and able to contribute ideas and work as part of a close knit, friendly team. A good sense of humour is essential!
Type: Initially 6 months with the possibility of a permanent post for the right candidate.
Salary: £16 - 25k p/a, depending on skills offered
