IPG Media Lab is equal parts think tank, real-world proving ground, and change enabler. We provide agencies and clients with the power to harness emerging media by offering facilities, expertise, and resources specifically tailored to rigorously testing emerging media and marketing techniques – driving quantifiable outcomes, learnings and strategies.
The Lab’s single focus is to find new ways to solve problems by applying the latest technology to marketing challenges through custom-tailored, client-led experiments that scale. We start with talking to our clients and identifying their challenges, and then determine how to use emerging technology to solve that problem. We find successful solutions that are then implemented into the real world and utilized for all to see.
IPG Media Lab hires smart, focused, self-starters who bring energy, new ideas and practical experience to our fast-paced, dynamic team. Members of our team are not only passionate about emerging media and technology, but are also committed to collaboration through effective communication, continuous process enhancement and shared support.
We are currently seeking a smart Senior Web Developer to fill an immediate need. Position reports to the Creative Director.
Required Skills
You live at the intersection of stories and code. You’re most comfortable with HTML, CSS and JavaScript, but if you have to make something in Xcode you’ll make it happen or you’ll figure it out. You care about everything with your name on it being pixel perfect for no other reason than it just has to. You love backend technologies and when someone says “we should build this Node/Unix/Mongo” you say “that would be awesome, but before we do that, why?” Any language, any stack, anytime as long as it’s the right one.
