What you’re like
You’re probably not “well-rounded” (because it’s hard to be exceptional at everything). But you will definitely need:

• A good degree or good work experience. Everybody here has proven themselves academically or in the workplace.
• A genuine desire to get stuck into the world of work, do something, make good stuff, take responsibility.
• A passion for all things digital and social. You should already be active on social media spaces, and writing a blog would be a bonus!
• An exceptional talent. We’ve got a great team in place but we’re always on the lookout for more match-winners.

Interested? Feel free to read more, but to apply mail Ally with a covering letter outlining why you think you are suitable for the position and where your strengths lie along with a 2 page CV.

The most important person in your life will be a hybrid composite human being representing a member of your audience. You must love them (but please keep this dignified within office hours). You will probably cheat on them in the evenings by surfing design blogs and perving over interaction mechanics.

As we hope we’ve conveyed, we’re looking for someone with the right attitude and passion for engaging people through design rather than a specific design rank, but you would be working for some national and international clients like Paramount Pictures, the BBC, and sometimes the Government, so you would need to feel comfortable you could help us make them do a small sex wee.

(Salary negotiable depending on experience).

If you are interested, please send us your CV, cover letter (probably just an email with a nice hello), a lock of your hair, and a link to some amazing internets you’ve made.

Programming and development that doesn’t suck

Check em out, tell your friends!

We have a decent environment (in Bristol) in which to write software. It’s not perfect; it’s a bit busy, but we care and say thanks, and the people are ok and I reckon that counts for a lot. We also have version control and testing and decent chairs and lunch, a lack of fear and no pissy politics.

I’m not going to play CV skills acronym bingo (believe that’s a game for recruitment consultants); good developers and programmers get stuff done without needing ‘a year’s experience of this’ or ‘three year’s experience of that’.

Here’s what needs to get done:
- build some internets pages. Our internets pages generally use extensible hypertext markup language and cascading stylesheets There may be other ways to do it, but we’ve found these ones are pretty good and not too much hassle. We’re also using some javascript, which seems to suck less these days.

- make some python applications. Generally python doesn’t suck. That’s something. We use it to try and make apps that don’t suck, for business reasons that don’t suck.

- query some databases. They happen to be MySQL flavour. They could have been something else, but that’s what they are. I figure it’s an implementation detail compared to designing efficient queries.

There’s a bunch of things to get done right now. There’ll probably be some more things to do after that. Stick around until you’re bored of us. Sound interesting? Drop me a line andy@teamrubber.com

cheers,

Andy

UPDATE 26th Oct 2009: right now we’ve found all the peoplc we need, so we’re not looking to hire permanently.  But we like meeting people and who knows what  might happen in future?  Feel free to get in touch anyway.
