HTML5/JS Developer Job Listing at Google in London (Job ID googleus-33129)

Media / Publishing, Business Services

Google is known for its speed and clean design, and our websites must also be
fast and clean. Our Webmaster team creates and maintain Google's web sites. As
a Webmaster, you collaborate with Marketing and Engineering teams to create
compelling, efficient and accessible web pages. You work independently on many
projects, but also take directions from team members across the organization.
The impact of your work is huge as millions of users traffic our websites
every day.

You will use your experience to drive medium to large-sized tasks and projects
(e.g. high profile product launch, multi-page dynamic forms, high-impact
multi-language marketing campaigns) while exercising considerable independent
judgment and discretion.

As a Web Developer, you will be responsible for the creation of high quality,
world class Web content for desktop and mobile devices. You will employ your
mastery of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to engineer front end components that
will present information in new, innovative, and creative ways. Your work will
require a focus on compatibility, accessibility, and internationalization.

You will utilize object-oriented JavaScript libraries to be more efficient and
consistent, but will also be expected to possess experience with core
JavaScript concepts like prototyping and inheritance. Your components should
be modular, reusable, and well documented to the benefit of the greater team.
WebGL, canvas/CSS animations, and advanced HTML5 features should be utilized
when and where appropriate. You will experiment with emerging technologies and
discuss their merits with fellow team members.

As more users access the Web through mobile phones and tablets than ever
before, you will ensure your work is accessible through a myriad of devices
and form factors. Responsive design, progressive enhancement, graceful
fallbacks and other techniques should be utilized to support the largest
possible audience and enhance their user experience.

Please be prepared to present a strong portfolio of work.
