Description
Front-End Developer

Zappos.com, the web's most popular shoe store, offers talented and motivated people the opportunity to do the best work of their lives in a dynamic and growing company. If you have a "can do" attitude, thrive in a fast-paced, team environment, and love shoes and the internet, then we want to hear from you! Zappos.com offers an extensive benefits package for all full time employees including medical, dental, vision, and 401k!

Position Summary:

We're looking for CSS/XHTML/Javascript front-end developers who live and breathe standards. No tables here (unless it's tabular data ;) )!. If you like tackling fun, challenging, high profile projects that will be seen by millions of visitors then this may be the right opportunity for you.

Will there sometimes be long hours?
Yes of course, sometimes the deadlines are tight but that's why we are looking for people with great personality who are team players so when we are all working around the clock, we still play nice. :) When a project is done we'll celebrate, enjoy the view and look forward to the next project wiser and stronger than before.

We're a casual dress, fun, thriving dot-com with a great work environment and plenty of growth in our future, so if we've sparked your interest drop us an email with your resume and a nice portfolio of sites developed and we'll talk :)

(*and yes, we know the main Zappos.com site uses deprecated vintage HTML code that should be saved for a museum, but you'll be part of the team that changes that. Also we work on other, related sites where semantic xhtml is all you'll find ;))

* XHTML/CSS coding/updating for assigned projects
