Handpicked Job Openings

What a marvelous time of the year. Frank Sinatra, Philadelphia Brass Ensemble, and other classics are in full rotation.

If things aren't quite as jolly for you, or if you're wishing they were a bit more merry and work is to blame, I've thumbed through the listings on Authentic Jobs. Featured below are some of these.

Senior Web Application Engineer
SlideShowPro
Anywhere in the U.S.
"You would be joining a small, highly motivated software development team where you'll have significant input in our development process and overall product direction. We're not just looking for a great coder, but someone who's passionate about product development and design and can serve as a high-level participant in taking SlideShowPro forward."

Designer for an Automotive Marketing Company
Showroom Logic
Anywhere
"We are starting out looking for a couple freelancers and then will be offering a full-time position for those designers who have 'it'. We don't need your resume. Could care less about your education. We will be able to see if you rock based on the designs you send in. We are well-funded so our budget isn't tight. Willing to pay top dollar for a top designer."

UI Designer
Senior Theme Developer / Front-End Developer
New York, NY
"We're looking for a talented Front-End Developer (Drupal Theme Developer) to join our growing team. Position is in-house at the Sony Music office in midtown Manhattan, but qualified out-of-town applicants who are willing to relocate are encouraged to apply."

Front End Web Developer
frog design
New York
"These are the words of the hiring manager, unadulterated by passing through HR/Recruiting: 'I know I'm probably asking for a lot, but the gist of it is that I want someone who almost considers themselves more of a designer or creative than a developer and I want them to really care about the quality of work that they produce. Someone with a bit of ambition, who can analyze designs and can efficiently communicate their work.'"

User Experience Designer
Naviance
Washington, DC or Oakland, CA
"Naviance combines the resources of a multi-billion dollar global corporation with the soul of a start-up. We're looking for energetic, creative, and ambitious professionals who are seeking exciting opportunities for extraordinary growth. Our ideal candidate will be an excellent communicator with a mix of left and right brain skills."

WordPress-loving Developer
Chicago Tribune
Chicago, Illinois
"Gear you'll get: One shiny, new MacBook Pro. One CDM (Cheap Dell Monitor). One comfy Aeron chair, all at a desk somewhere in the Tribune newsroom, where you'll be surrounded by reporters arguing with the cops, yelling about the ball game, telling crazy stories, and otherwise practicing their trade."

Community Manager
Milkshake
Austin, TX
"Monitor the online community daily, reading as many discussions/threads and profiles as possible, interacting where appropriate. This position is part time, 10-15 hours a week."

Creative Designer
Hotels.com
London
"If you're familiar with our site, you'll definitely be interested to hear we're growing our visual design team as part of an effort to re-think and re-execute the visual design of Hotels.com."
