Interaction Developer at Atlassian | Web Directions Jobs

• Drive the UI of a popular developer tool as it gets an extreme makeover
• Utilize the latest technologies to create compelling functionality

• Make your left and right brains both earn their keep.

Does this sound like you? Awesome user interfaces make you hot and sweaty. You can discuss at length what makes GMail (and other web apps) different. Poor usability dives you nuts. You know what RIA means, even if you think it’s a redundant term. You know what GWT, AJAX, Flex, YUI, JQuery and Prototype are, even if you haven’t used them.

Whilst you may be coder OR a designer, you really want to do both and are happy to work with both. You think apps should be great looking and pixel perfect, but not at the cost of being slow and hard to use.

Who we are looking for:

Key Attributes

• Passion for usability
• Initiative and the ability to work independently
• Comprehensive knowledge of web technologies (css, html, http, etc)

• End-to-end capabilities (concept, design, code)

Preferred Experience / Skills

• Javascript / AJAX / DOM manipulation
• Java / JSP

• Ruby/Python/Perl/PHP a bonus

You don’t have to be a hard core coder, but you do need some background and a desire to work with code. We will be flexible for the right person, young/old engineer/designer it doesn’t matter if you can convince us you have the vision.

— John Rotenstein, internal systems
