MODE, a branding & interactive agency, is seeking an mid-to-senior-level interactive developer with an excellent command of current web technologies and a thirst to learn more to join our growing interactive team.
Our needs focus on advanced PHP & MySQL development, with front-end (HTML, CSS, JS, responsive design) experience and/or the desire to learn. An emphasis on really understanding powerful JS frameworks and how they interact with an MVC back-end is hugely desired (e.g. AngularJS, Knockout). The ability to juggle multiple projects of varying magnitude, clean coding practices and strong organizational skills. Responsibilities will include development of sites ranging from single page teasers to full-featured custom CMS solutions. You will work with a wide variety of clients, across several different verticals.
All projects are team-based—you will be working closely with designers, developers and agency principals. This position a full-time position in our office in Charlotte, NC.
