The Opportunity: Web Developer
We’re looking for a talented front end developer with extensive HTML, CSS, and Javascript skills. The job will involve working closely with designers and developers to turn design mockups into modern, high performance interactive web pages. We’re hoping you’re a true web developer- if you’re more of a designer who codes, or a full stack kind of dev, we have other positions that might be a better fit.
In this position, you will:
    Translate design files into functional code, ensuring page performance and browser compatibility
    Develop pixel perfect designs that meet design specifications
    Test and debug pages across browsers, platforms, and devices
    Manage scalable, cross platform code across freshbooks.com
    Keep the site up to date with the latest content
Must Haves
    2+ years experience building custom websites using HTML, CSS, and Javascript / jQuery
    A deep understanding of concepts like progressive enhancement and mobile responsive design
    Experience writing semantic markup that complies with W3C standards
    Experience with cross browser testing and code debugging
Nice-to-Haves
    Experience working in an agile software development environment
    Experience with a template language (e.g., Twig, Smarty, Jinja) is a plus
    Understanding of version control and using git repositories
    Expertise in performance optimization using tools like PageSpeed/YSlow
    A basic knowledge of SEO and landing page optimization concepts
    Experience developing custom templates / themes for CMS's (e.g., Wordpress, Drupal)
    Experience with Sass, LESS, and client side performance optimization a big plus
    Basic knowledge of PHP, MySQL, and web server technology
