The Technology department at the Brooklyn Museum seeks a web developer to join our team to help manage the museum’s web presence. You’d be working with a small team on a variety of web and mobile projects related to art, community engagement, visitor experience and open access.As a small team, we work across disciplines and support each other. Accordingly, qualified candidates will possess a broad range of skills navigating the full stack of web and web-for-mobile development, SQL to CSS. We have adopted a number of Agile practices in our development process in order to adapt to the fast-evolving nature of our projects and we’re looking for someone who thrives using this methodology.

Here’s what we’re after:

  • Strong command of object-oriented PHP.
  • Strong command of HTML and CSS, as well as a commitment to web standards and making accessible, usable websites which degrade gracefully on older browsers.
  • Experience with JavaScript and relevant frameworks, e.g. MooTools, jQuery.
  • Experience with relational databases, e.g. MySQL, MSSQL.
  • Experience working on mobile platforms, e.g. iOS, Android and web-for-mobile frameworks such as Cordova or Sencha.
  • Some experience with Linux web server administration and deployment, e.g. Apache, Bash scripting, etc.
  • Familiarity with version control, e.g. git, svn.
  • Familiarity with Amazon Web Services cloud architecture patterns and practices.
  • Familiarity with Agile development practices.

Additionally, we’re keeping an eye out for exceptional candidates who may have:

  • Experience with UX design and information architecture.
  • Experience building and maintaining content management tools.
  • Familiarity with at other dynamic programming languages, e.g. Ruby, Objective-C.
  • Experience with e-commerce and PCI compliance.

The successful candidate will have a demonstrated ability to work collaboratively with other project stakeholders, to manage multiple responsibilities independently, while adhering to established departmental technology standards both in back-end and front-end architecture. With mobile development crossing further into web-based territory with frameworks like Cordova, we’re also looking for someone who can push the boundaries of what is possible with web technologies for mobile devices.

This is a full-time position located at the Museum’s offices in Brooklyn. Located on the top floor, our office lacks fancy furniture or ping-pong tables, but we’re housed inside a 19th century neoclassical monument sharing space with priceless art, so we’re ok with that. This is a fast-paced, but fun environment which we balance by keeping a commitment to a 35 hour week. This position does not include telecommuting or relocation; qualified candidates must be able to commute daily to the Brooklyn Museum. No recruiters please.
