Seeking several experienced Javascript / backbone.js programmers! Lond


Question

Hello everyone,

My first post so please bare with me.

I've been using Neowin in a personal capacity for well over 5 years but now the time has come where I need your help.

I'm working on a project based in London, I cannot divulge the specifics as I'm under an NDA (None Disclosure Agreement)

I'm looking for a team of very highly skilled JavaScript Programmers to be based in North London. I need programmers to have knowledge of backbone.js and SVG. I currently have a team of 7 expert programmers with 2 PhDs, 2 designers and collectively over 45 years of advanced cloud / web experience behind them.

This would be a permanent role and the reward is very high (60-80K+).

Although I cant go into specifics, you will start off writing code in JavaScript as well as HTML5/CSS3, but the JavaScript Programmers will need to be versatile and have the ability to learn quickly, so if you have more experience in other dynamic (or static) languages and think that you can get started quickly in something new, then I would still be very interested to hear from you.

People with the following skills and expert or advanced level would be of particular interest.

* JavaScript

* Backbone.js

* SVG

* HTML5

* CSS3

* many other languages will be considered - Python, Ruby on Rails (ROR), PHP, Django etc

Its a very relaxed atmosphere, Office hours are 10am - 6pm. We have an open plan office in London with room for 8 staff.

Programmers are welcome to listen to music to help stay focused. We have a quiet and dedicated team as this results in the best performance.

Ideally I'm after someone with a PhD in JavaScript or to have built (or been a significant contributor) to a leading library or compiler (i.e. node.js, prototype.js, backbone.js, YUI Library, Google Closure, Chrome, the JVM, Open JDK, MS Excel, Linex Kernel etc.).

Saying that someone with a passion about computer science (but with enough commercial experience) to realise that perfection takes time and many stepping stones. Equally they must have enough experience in academia or the commercial arena to be able to code solid 8 hour days without suffering from "Writers Block" as occurs regularly with young eccentric programmers.

Very happy to accommodative eccentricities and passion but not disruptive or argumentative characters.

Ideally the background I would like is someone to come from is a pure computer science academia or big technology corporation (Google, Oracle, Sun Microchemistry, IBM, Microsoft, etc).

There are loads of additional benefits too.

Because of the NDA myself and the company intentionally restricts the candidates from knowing about the project before taking a test as we are primarily looking for an employee who is focused on coding and drawing a large salary. We have had bad experiences in the past of individuals becoming too focused on the commercial progression of the business and this distracts them from the task at hand. This is one reason why we have total separate R&D and marketing facilities.

Its not my intention to spam or anything like that at all as I am genuinely also a massive fan of Neowin and I respect the site, administration, writers and the community, its a site I check several times a day, I just really need the communities assistance.

I sincerely hope I've not broken any rules or guidelines so If I've done something wrong or posted this incorrectly please notify me or get an administrator to get in touch.

I'd also really appreciate any referrals so please let me know.

Thanks for your time, if you'd like to get in touch please note my details below.

Argh! Is nowhere safe from recruiters!?!?! Before anyone gets too excited this guy works for Axis IT Recruitment and is not an end client. Just be aware before going forward with this!

And....

MS Excel, Linex Kernel etc

Out of interest, when did MS Excel become "a leading library or compiler", and what is Linex? :s

I have a PhD in Javascript, rewrote the Linex Kernel using jQuery, and have experience designing MS Excel front end UI using JVM. Where can I apply?

Thanks for your time.

Your post full of typos and mistakes made my day LOL

What you're looking for is a front end web developer with experience in html5, css3, (advanced)javascript and SVG vector images*.

If you put it like that in your request it's more clear what you're asking for ^^

I'm able to do front end development in html5 and css3 and a bit of javascript but I don't have the available time and I lack in experience with javascript ^^

And we need a subforum for jobs I guess, otherwise stuff gets cluttered with normal threads where people ask for help on their works.

*SVG vector images in a website :s not every browser supports those, you'd rather just use html element instead of a vector image, but if you plan to use those for html5 apps ingore this since I'd suggest to use svg images in that case myself ^^

    • Those persons has complete control over the internet right now. They do see everything what we do regardless.
    • Everyone and every country who doesn't support Israel's aggression, terrorism and hypocrisy is their immediate enemy. You can definitely see how many innocent people they are killing almost everyday. In fact they're the actual Neo-Nazi who holds Hitler's ideology.
    • Just pull a 4Chan and ignore the UK gov, or better troll them. It's not like they can enforce the fine across border.
    • It has NEVER been shown that all these overreaching creepy methods of surveillance have ever saved a child or prevented a terrorist attack. Not a single one. It's the kind of people like you who just wave it away as "paranoid conspiracy" that makes big tech and governments this creepy mass data hoarding entities. Not only that, 3/4 of these surveillance ideas undermine the very foundations of safe online communication because they always want to have a backdoor in everything "just in case" they might need it to... checks the notes "save the children". If you put a backdoor into encryption chain there is no encryption chain anymore. You know what encryption keeps safe? Your medical records, your online shopping and credit card during payment, your photos in the cloud, your emails, your passwords, everything. There is ZERO guarantee only the good guys will use it. And if you think police suddenly can't apprehend child abusers because of encryption, Epstein was running his entire sex trafficking ring using GMail which is not even encrypted end to end. Or to make matters even worse, USA has a **** and a good buddy of Epstein as a president. Absolutely NOTHING has been done to address it. Maxwell just got a better "hotel" room as a reward. This clearly shows how they absolutely don't really care about the children but they care about the absolute control over all of us. And you're defending them here. Good grief. On top of constant attempts to insert backdoors into encryption chain, the entire age verification nonsense is again entirely over reaching, creepy, invades everyone's privacy with premise of yet again "protecting the children" instead of demanding device makers to provide simple and powerful tools for PARENTS to control how their children use devices and what they do on them. THIS would be the way, not the stupid age verification for everyone. Imagine if government would be dictating companies how their phones work and not the company's IT department. The parents should be the IT department to their children. And for everyone excusing "they are not knowledgeable enough" buuuuuulsheat. We live in a digital age, if you have children now, you absolutely are well versed in digital everything at least to basic extent. If you're not, how do you even function in these times then? Reality is that parents are just lazy and don't want to deal with this. They want government to raise their kids because they are too busy scrolling stupid Instagram and Tiktok or some bs.
    • You could make the argument that K should not be included, but FC, the fried chicken, is not the framework, it's the product. It's the Paint in Paint.NET. A closer analogy is if KFC included the name of the deep fryer they used. HennyPennyFC.
