The Ocean Observatories Initiative Cyberinfrastructure team needs an exceptional lead web developer eager to drive both backend services and frontend delivery. Without googling, do the following statements prompt an immediate smile (or frown)?
- You forgot your verbs in your REST.
- How $.live saved my tightly coupled life.
- What do threads have to do with the phrase "C10k"?
- There's just something about 24 columns. Or 16 columns. Or 960px. Or…
- Your semantics are getting in the way of my deadline!
- Conditional comments are sooo 2008.
- NoSQL's no "no sql," you know.
- You've got how many firebug addons?
- HTML5 or CSS3? At least we've got ECMAScript 5. Kinda. OK, not really.
- Reduce on DFS or aggregate on DHT or ETL on OLAP or just give up and shard on RDB?
Did you follow most of that? Can you build these systems yourself? Now can you do it in a complex system working with a number of other teams? Can you work smoothly with architects and see code when you look at a diagram? Do you know and appreciate business needs, and how to turn them into workable tasks on a hard deadline? Finally, can you lead a team to do the same, inspiring your team to be proud that their work is the public face of many other teams?
If this sounds like you, go to the UCSD job posting and send us an application, so we can get you on board our team.
