Carsonified is hiring!

By @ryancarson

08 September 2010 | Category: Uncategorized

We're looking for two amazing new people to add to our team here at Carsonified HQ. You'll get some nice benefits like ...

  1. Four-day Work Week: The office is only open on Monday to Thursday. We want you to have an extra day to get out and live life away from your Mac and the Internets.
  2. Brand new iPhone 4. Bam.
  3. Your own MacBook Pro (we’re not a Windows kind of company).
  4. A big Apple Cinema Display.
  5. A comfortable Aeron Chair. You sit in your chair for most of your life. Might as well not wreck your back.
  6. Lunch on the house - every day. We buy a nice lunch for everyone every day, as we think it’s important to chat and get to know the team.
  7. No set working hours. Work whenever you want, from wherever you want. We don’t care as long as you get the job done.
  8. Stage time. You’ll get a chance to speak at FOWD and FOWA, so it’s a great opportunity to raise your profile.

You do NOT need to be based at our office in Bath UK. No matter where you live, you can apply.

For both of these roles, we’re looking for people that love the web – you live and breathe this stuff.

1. Web Designer

We are looking for a talented designer with a lot of experience designing web applications (not just static sites). You have to be passionate about creating an amazing user experience, whilst also understanding the underlying frontend tech and being zealous about standards and accessibility. You need to have good solid experience with …

  • HTML5 – Semantic, clean markup
  • CSS3
  • jQuery
  • Integration with Rails
  • JavaScript
  • Git
  • Accessibility
  • A/B Testing
  • Copy writing

We’d also like you to shoot one video per week for TVM, so you need to be confident in front of a camera and be able to clearly teach web design topics.

Please don’t send your resume or CV. I’m looking to hire someone who truly stands out from the crowd, so please be creative when getting in touch: ryan@carsonified.com

2. Rails Developer

We’re looking for an amazing web developer who loves Rails, but is even more passionate about using the right tech for the right job. We’d also like you to build iOS apps, so if you don’t have experience with this, you need to be excited about learning. You need to have good solid experience with …

  • Rails 2+ (and playing around with Rails 3)
  • HTML5
  • CSS3
  • JavaScript
  • jQuery
  • Test-Driven Development
  • Git
  • MongoDB
  • iOS apps (or a big appetite to learn)

We’d also like you to shoot one video per week for TVM, so you need to be confident in front of a camera and be able to clearly teach web design topics.

Please don’t send your resume or CV. I’m looking to hire someone who truly stands out from the crowd, so please be creative when getting in touch: ryan@carsonified.com

    We haven’t updated the page because we just posted the jobs today.

    Actually I am a big fan of Mike’s designs that’s why without reading your complete post I went to see the new page. I was expecting that you guys have designed something special for it.

  • Tom

    People should be proud of working at Carsonified, and that should be enough to try to apply. I don’t think “prizes” are need, but they are as great as the agency is. Congratulations!

    Oh God! I’d love to apply, but no RoR knowledge. As developer I really believe the PHP market is moving to Python.

  • Jorge Diaz

    It’s a great opportunity in a great company. I’m to far away…

  • Arthur

    Are you looking for a designer or a front-end developer? I can’t design but I check all points in your bullet list.

  • A. I.

    The only thing that’s missing now is for Carsonified to open an office in Germany too :).

  • Ryan Carson

    Hey Arthur, We’re looking for a designer and a frontend dev, combined.

    Four day week… free lunch… no set hours… this sounds pretty much like the perfect job. You get to sit on a chair and everything.

    I wish I could get this job so bad! But I’m only 13 years old, and still need to learn a lot of this :( (I can code HTML5, CSS3 and I’m learning PHP)

    When I’m older I aspire to move to England and work at Carsonified :)

  • http://www.dudewebdesign.com Rich

    Soph, I’m 28. When I’m older, I too aspire to move to England and work at Carsonified just like you! At 13 though, your learning a lot of cool stuff. Keep up the great work!

    Any other developer positions opening, for PHP / AJAX / HTML5 / CSS3 / JQuery????

  • Jansokolovits

    I wish my job was like this! :)
