Lead Web Developer

1. Code the full version of iFLIP4’s website, which has been expertly designed by a Web Designer with a Masters in HCI from Carnegie Mellon
2. Maintain and update the current Beta website on a regular basis
3. Manage and supervise the developer team
4. Create responsive webpages
5. Implement various API’s as needed
6. Author technical documentation with high level design documents
7. Work closely with our product and design teams to define feature specifications
8. Brainstorm new design ideas and upcoming apps with other members of the technical, design, and Core teams

This position requires a commitment of about 20 hours/week. It is part time, with a small stipend. After we raise our Angel round of funding, this role can grow into a full-time position with a full salary and equity in iFLIP4, assuming the work you do is great! We are located in East Hanover, NJ, and telecommuting is fine with us.

This role is for someone who is passionate about constantly improving a revolutionary website that gives millennials the tools to make a profound impact on the world. You should be motivated to come up with innovative solutions and also to buckle down and crank out incredible work with the web developer team you’ll oversee.

We don’t want a code monkey; we don’t want someone to say yes and implement every feature we ask for. What we want is a partner. Someone to bounce ideas off of, someone with a vision for the future of our company, and someone who has the desire and drive to make it a reality.
