HUGE: Web Development Technical Lead

Location: Brooklyn, NY

URL: http://www.hugeinc.com

HUGE is an innovative design firm with offices in Brooklyn, Los Angeles and Atlanta and a renowned team of designers, programmers, and interaction specialists, all with a dedication to beautiful, highly-functional design. Our work has won countless awards and we’ve got a long list of smart, happy clients including IKEA, JetBlue, AOL, Atlantic Records, and Scholastic.

The technical lead is responsible for the entire life cycle for high complexity projects including but not limited to: research and analysis, design, development, testing, implementation, training, and documentation – following and evolving HUGE’s standards and procedures. Technical leads will work primarily with Java engineers and client-side developers (HTML, CSS, JS, Flash), but experience or exposure to other server-side technologies is a definite plus. In addition to Technology staff, the technical lead will work across the entire project team, interacting with a cross-disciplinary team consisting of interaction designers, visual designers, quality assurance and project managers to lead the implementation of fully functional websites and applications for our clients using above technologies. The day-to-day work will also entail heavy client and vendor contact.

As HUGE is a global company, technical leads may be asked to travel, but any such travel is expected to be less than 20%.
