Careers
• Full-Stack Web Developer •
We are looking for a skilled and enthusiastic web dev generalist who is passionate to create beautiful things using elegant, efficient code, yet just as eager to push through content and data integrations. Key responsibilities for this Jack-or-Jill-of-all-trades will be enhancing and maintaining legacy WordPress sites as well as bringing to life new web-based innovations. Pixel Farm is no "one trick pony", so applicants must be hungry for variety and curious to learn the Next Big Thing™.
Qualified individuals will have a strong sense of visual aesthetics combined with an ability to translate UX Wireframes and UI Mockups into clean, well-formed WCAG-compliant accessible web code. This front-end skillset should be balanced with an ability to translate information architecture into intuitively manageable content solutions. Familiarity with content management systems (CMS) and data security is a must, as are strong interpersonal communication skills.
Applicants should have 3-5+ years of experience building and managing CMS-driven corporate websites and a high level of familiarity with responsive design frameworks and WordPress architecture. Language-wise, they must be savvy in HTML5, CSS, Javascript, PHP and MySQL. Preferred applicants also have a deep understanding of Less, SASS, Bootstrap, and 3rd party API integrations. Past experience with Twig/Timber, WebGL, mobile app development, .NET or MS SQL is a plus.
Also relevant is any past experience managing web server configurations and creating rich media experiences and games using Unity, such as native mobile apps, online microsites, or interactive kiosks. Creative ideation, visual design, 3D and video skills are appreciated, but not critical.

• Client / Social Media Coordinator•
We're looking for a friendly, energetic and highly motivated individual to be an integral member of our team. This is a hybrid role which would split time between client services at reception and maintaining Pixel Farm’s internal social media presence.
