And the deed is done…
So that’s it, I’ve handed in my resignation.
So, I can now happily say that I’m moving on to a full time position as Web Architect for the School of Physics at the University of Edinburgh from the 11th of April, and I’m really looking forward to it. This probably means that I’m a complete and utter geek.
I’ve been asked to see if I can help in finding a replacement for me (as if such a thing existed! ;-) as there is ongoing work here that will need to be done, as well as a number of upcoming projects.
Note that this is primarily a developer position, but any skills as a designer wouldn’t be ignored by any means.
What they’re looking for is:
- a web/multimedia developer, preferably with a knowledge or passion for video production
- excellent Flash, with a good knowledge of Director
- experience of delivering on web/CD/DVD platforms
- good working knowledge of (X)HTML, CSS, XML, XSL, PHP, ColdFusion, ASP, C# and the rest…
- database/web/application server admin experience would be a boon
- ecommerce experience is highly desirable
- design skills (Quark, Photoshop, etc.) would be beneficial
- and the usual stuff (good communication skills, etc.)
- someone looking for a challenge(!)
They’re ideally looking for someone FT, but are willing to take help where they can get it (read ‘contractors’) to pick up the slack until they do.
If you’re interested, bung a letter/CV to Jack Garrow or to me (matt at republicproductions dot com) and I’ll pass it on.
(Yes, the web site will need to be re-done.)
The main reason that I’m leaving is because there’s a large amount of multimedia (mostly Flash) work which, although I used to enjoy it, I’m trying to focus on web application development (you know, that Ajax/Web2.0 nonsense). It’s not really my bag baby, and the new job will be more my kinda thang.
