Do you know CSS and AJAX? Do you want to learn iPhone development?
We are looking for a few developers with a strong background in CSS, AJAX, JQuery, and PHP that would like to learn how to do iPhone/iPad and Android applications. Agave Lab is a small company that develops mobile applications, Flash/Flex/AS3-based Facebook games, and other projects that are fun, interesting, and that are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. We’re located in Col. Americana but all of our clients are in the US.
Attitude is key in that we’ve built a really fun team and we all get along well. The candidate will have to be flexible as our development methodology (which is based on Agile and SCRUM) is very different from a traditional waterfall approach. We’re not too hung up on university degrees or professional background. We’re looking for people who really enjoy coding and are genuinely interested in current web programming trends. You can see some of the projects that we’re working on at www.agavelab.com. Some English skills would be good as the two founders are gringos.
