New York, NY - Brooklyn Museum - Front-end Developer (Full-time):
We’re looking for a creative individual to help us in a key role working with a small team on our website, mobile, and in-gallery interactives. We’re searching for someone who’s adept at the full stack and looks at legacy code with love while finding creative yet sustainable workarounds to make us more nimble and responsive.
In addition to maintaining our existing CMS, you’d be working on a variety of web and in-gallery projects related to art, community, visitor experience and open access. Recent in-gallery kiosks maximize webkit's CSS3 and JavaScript capabilities to deliver the best visitor experience possible with web technologies. Previous projects included Split Second: Indian Paintings, an online experiment and in-gallery installation exploring visitors’ split-second reactions to our Indian paintings collection; and GO, a Brooklyn-wide open studio event where artists opened their doors so community members decide who would be featured in a group exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum.
Skills checklist:
- Deep understanding of user experience and interaction design.
- Solid working knowledge of object-oriented programming principles, PHP, JavaScript, and relevant frameworks like MooTools and jQuery.
- Solid understanding of browser quirks and web standards up to and including HTML5
- Working knowledge of Photoshop

This is a fun, friendly, and fast-paced environment and we keep the commitment to a 35 hour week.
