Web Developer

ATS is looking first and foremost for an exceptional ‘jack of all trades’ web developer – someone who knows their way around CSS and HTML and who understands everything from image optimization to SQL queries to troubleshooting a few lines of JavaScript. If you get a lot of “wow, that’s looks [and works!] great,” we want to talk to you.

Having the skills to work both independently and as part of a team of developersis key as is knowledge/keeping abreast of the latest trends in development – such as flexible frameworks, Visual Studio Online, content management systems, and search engine optimization. Preferred candidates will strive for personal growth and success, have an entrepreneurial spirit, and work well in a collaborative team environment.

As Web Developer, you would be part of ATS’ Design & Development group assisting in mostly large scale website redesigns. We’re a small team so someone who is solely a DBA or solely a [pick-your-language] developer won’t fly: we’re looking for a diversified individual who can wear a few hats.
