We're not your ordinary design studio. We're a creative, problem-solving, detail-oriented group that came together to do great work. We love our clients and we put our hearts and souls into their projects. But, there's another reason we're here.
We're entrepreneurs.
We love technology.
We want to make our own stuff.
With just two years under our belts our plates are getting very full. We're looking to grow our talented team.
Do you like the excitement of a start-up but want the stability of a company that has real clients? We're keeping a seat warm for a programmer who wants to help us get our online community startup off the ground and help our young company grow.
We could have said that we only want the best, that you'll need a strong work ethic, yada yada yada... but isn't that what every employer wants? Convince us that you're smart, motivated, and excited about the work we're doing and that seat we're keeping warm might just be yours.
We're currently looking for a full-time web developer. This position involves programming for both the client and the server. On the server we use PHP and Javascript (Node.js) as well as maintain some older ColdFusion code. We make use of MySQL, MSSQL, and MongoDB databases. In the browser we use Javascript (JQuery, Modernizr, etc). In addition to having some experience with most of those web technologies, a good grasp of the entire web stack is highly desired, as is experience using Git for version control.
If you have ambitions to explore your own start-up ideas, especially those that are web-related, we can provide you with right environment to do so. We're passionate about entrepreneurship and our founders are leaders in Houston's bootstrap entrepreneur community. We've hosted Houston Startup Weekend, created GroundUP Houston, and sit on the boards of start-ups, professional organizations, and incubators. We'll help you get your ideas off the ground and you'll get to keep what you create for start-up.
Are you looking for your big break? We know how hard it is to get your foot in the door of a creative studio and maybe we can help. If you're motivated and have some cool work to show us, we want to hear from you and see your work.
Our work is concentrated in three complimentary areas; computer animation, web development, and interactive media. Each market requires creative skills and technical expertise, bringing artists and programmers together to produce high-end work in a team environment.
Where do you fit in? Tell us your story. Show us your work. If you're the right fit, we'll provide you with a place to learn as you help us on real projects for real clients. Internships are currently unpaid positions but can evolve into paid, full-time positions.
ARTISTS / DESIGNERS / ANIMATORS
Introduce yourself, tell us your story, and include a resume. Show us an online portfolio or samples of your work. If you don't have one, use a photo sharing service like Picasa or Flickr. Your work will be judged for what it is, not the package it comes in. We want to see creativity and attention to detail. We won't consider you for an internship if you don't have anything to show us.
PROGRAMMERS:
Tell us what motivates you and why you want to join our team. Don't forget to include a resume. Show us some of the work you've done. We're particularly interested in HTML, CSS, PHP, ActionScript, Mobile Development, AJAX, JavaScript, and database work. We like people who are "big picture" thinkers and problem solvers. You must be able to work well with others and communicate effectively.
