Web Developer, 3 month contract

Centerstance is seeking an Interactive Developer for a 3 month contract to hire role for a mid-sized, integrated marketing services agency based in Portland, Oregon. They provide business solutions that balance strategy, visual design and technology. The team comprises passionate, driven, loyal and committed people, whose talents and strengths converge to create success — for the company, clients, and themselves. The company actively promotes a culture of thought leadership and innovation, and effectively utilizes existing, emerging, and traditional technologies and approaches in its work. They are a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, and apply the most appropriate technologies to achieve maximum overall success.

About You

You’re one of those rare developers that thrive at agencies. You’re a great programmer, and you care about the quality of your code. You probably have strong opinions about MVC frameworks, and the appropriate use of singleton classes, but you’re the type of person who never loses sight of the overall project objective. Because of that perspective, you tend to talk about solutions when other developers are talking about problems. You value teamwork, because working with people in different disciplines means producing an end product that is just flat out cooler than anything you could have done by yourself. That’s the primary reason that you didn’t just punch the designer for asking you move that text block for the 10th time this week. At the end of the day you’re here because you love to be a part of producing great interactive work, and you like to be around other folks who feel the same way. Sound like someone you know?

Things you do:

- Excellent communication skills with both technical and non-technical teams

- 3+ years of professional experience in PHP or C# ASP.NET

- Strong understanding of Relational Database concepts and SQL programming

- Strong working knowledge of XHTML/CSS

- Experience working with lightweight CMS technologies. Joomla (PHP), Wordpress (PHP), and Ektron (ASP.NET) are big plusses

- Javascript/DHTML and Ajax a big plus

- Familiarity with object-oriented programming best practices

- Familiarity with a broad array of interactive marketing executions (including email blasts, banner advertisements, websites, and rich internet applications)

- Ability to accurately estimate development time

- Exceptional organizational skill, detail-orientated with the ability to handle multiple assignments
