Zugara is a fast growing, award-winning interactive agency focused on developing cutting edge online marketing projects targeted towards the Gen X/Y demographic. Current clients include Sony PlayStation (SCEA), Reebok RBK and Red Bull. We're also a lot of fun!
We are looking for an ActionScript GURU - someone who can create ultra lean, ultra mean code. The type of person who knows ActionScript and Flash so well that he/she can do in 3 lines of code what the average person takes 30 lines to do. Someone who understands that complex sites should be efficient and easy to update. That users don't want to wait 30 minutes for a pre-loader.
Contract with possible F/T in the future - esp. if you fit in and show us how awesome you are. This position starts ASAP and will likely go through mid Summer. IN HOUSE ONLY! We really need your butt in one of our chairs.
You will take Flash and design elements in various forms - from movies to PSD layouts - and quickly build them out as interactive web experiences. You will program advergames. You will mentor our designers so that they can improve their own ActionScript skills and efficiency. You will streamline designers' code. You will animate things using code whenever possible. You will find ways for each project to reduce file size and load times. You will integrate Flash components with ASP, PHP, and other technologies. You *will* meet deadlines. You will play well with others. And best of all, you will hopefully have some fun, especially if you're truly into this lifestyle. So many people out there think they're good at ActionScript, and maybe they are. We don't want "good" - we want THE BEST.
HOW TO APPLY - READ CAREFULLY
Okay, here's the clincher. Send a cover letter and resume, but the only thing we really need to see is EXAMPLES OF YOUR WORK - works in which YOU were the LEAD ActionScript programmer on projects that are as complex and interactive as the things we have done (again, refer to our web site at www.zugara.com (http://www.zugara.com)).
THEN - in the body of your email, please briefly explain one or two elements of our Jak 2 web site (http://www.us.playstation.com/Content/OGS/SCUS-97265/Site/) - how you think that particular interactivity was programmed and/or how you would have programmed it. Don't really need code examples unless you want to, just a blurb will do.
Email your online portfolio link and Jak 2 blurb(s) in a single email to me with the subject: FLASH ACTIONSCRIPT. No Phone Calls Please!
