Software engineer jobs in Houston, TX

About the role

We want to invite a Website Designer/Front End Developer to our Design team. This can be an entry-level position as long as you're honest about the bolded parts below. We’re very cool with those that are self-taught, but please provide examples/explanations of your work. At Linked Retail we encourage growth, learning (on your on and together), and cross-training. We want a self-motivated learner, a team-player, that brings their creative Kung-Fu, who knows the latest standards in the industry, and can be professional to clients. We're growing, you will learn a lot here. You have been warned. Communication, being a part of a team, and a willingness to learn tasks/responsibilities outside your own to understand our entire project processes and products are important. The more you know. As a Website Designer/Front End Developer you will be chiefly responsible for creating top-notch, professional design concepts/mockups/solutions/collateral based generally off client input. This requires being able to listen to clients and understand their needs, interpreting them, sometimes anticipating, to produce the end products requested. Design projects will cover a variety of products and activities, but typically the focus will be on website design, associated banners/graphics, and email templates. Many of these tasks are connected with larger integration projects, so being able to communicate with the project manager and clients on delivery, task, and risk expectations are critical. You will definitely be engaged in more than one project at a time, so being able to switch gears to allocate the right amount of time to each is valuable.

• Any of the following: PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, jQuery, LAMP, SSH, Putty
• OSX
• Asana (for Project Management)
