Causes: The Most World-Changing Graphic Design Job in History. Seriously.
Full-time
(San Francisco, CA)
We want a daring yet thoughtful graphic designer to give Causes a voice and a brand. Part of our past success has been due to our seamless integration with the designs of the platforms we use.

These conventions optimize for the display of information, but do not bring us closer to our goal: inspiring people to take action.
That’s where you come in. Help us break out of the straitjacket. You’ll make mocks, design experiences, establish conventions, and build a proper brand for Causes. We’ll keep our passion for details and iconography, but we’re willing to have our product assumptions challenged to their very core. Our only requirement is that your design give our users a warm fuzzy feeling for taking concrete action to change the world.
A stellar candidate:
- Obsesses over typography
- Creates tasty icons
- Knows how to let user-generated content sing
- Prototypes low and high fidelity interfaces quickly
- Communicates effectively with both technical and non-technical teammates
- Values and practices iteration in the design process
- Designs web applications, not just websites
Job Perks: We offer a competitive salary, company equity, good benefits, catered lunch everyday, snacks galore, and the answer "yes" to almost anything you could ask for. The real perk, though, is the team. We rock. You want to meet us. For more info, go to exchange.causes.com/about

Abrams Media, the fast-growing network of news sites launched by Dan Abrams, is looking for an entry-level addition to our software development team. The ideal applicant is a recent college graduate looking for hands-on experience in web development at a fast-growing media startup.
Applicants must be available to work full-time in our offices in SoHo.
Currently, we operate four sites: Mediaite (media industry news), Geekosystem (technology and geek culture), Styleite (style and fashion), and SportsGrid (sports news and statistics). We create web apps both as a means to support their content, and as new projects independent of their editorial efforts.
QUALIFICATIONS:
Enthusiasm and willingness to learn are just as important as your coding chops! That said, the following areas of knowledge will impress us:- Basic Web Frameworks: HTML, CSS, Javascript -- pretty standard.
- Knowledge of LAMP development: Most of our apps run on PHP/MySQL, so you should have actual experience with these through personal, academic, or enterprise projects. You should also have a good handle on one or more Unix workalike OS.
- General Web Development Knowledge: Awareness of major development frameworks, being able to get your head around a new API and figure out possible integrations, and so on.
- Willingness to learn new platforms and software packages: Just because we're working mostly in LAMP now doesn't mean we won't need to adapt in the future. If you love exploring new languages, even those you weren't required to learn for a class, this may be the job for you.
Job Perks: We're something of a skunkworks -- if you have an idea for a project, odds are you'll be able to try it out. Several of our development staff have also written articles for Geekosystem, most recently on subjects such as autotune programs and the KFC Double Down.

Clearleft Ltd: Senior Interface Designer
Full-time
(Brighton, UK)
Is your growth as a designer currently being limited by the type of client, size of budget, or the short time frames you’re being asked to work under? Do your clients or colleagues not really get the web? Then we may have the job for you.
We’re looking for a world-class interface designer to join Clearleft’s team of internationally-renowned experts. Our ideal candidate would have an obvious love of design and a real passion for visual problem solving. You will be someone who can draw inspiration from a wide range of sources (not just the web) to create a variety of powerful design concepts. With the direction set you’ll be able to develop these concepts into stunning interfaces that are easy and engaging to use.
You’ll need to be as happy working with pen and paper as on the Mac (extra credit for carrying a sketchbook), love typography, grid-based design and have an incredible attention to detail. You should also be able to interpret complex briefs and effectively communicate your design decisions to clients, colleagues and peers alike—be that in a meeting or in the pub over a frosty beverage!
Like all good designers, you’ll need an innate understanding of the medium. And whilst we’re not looking for another web standards guru (we have a few of those already) you will need to have a thorough understanding of XHTML/CSS and be comfortable building complicated CSS layouts. Most importantly, you’ll love what you do and constantly want to do it better.
In return for your experience and enthusiasm we’ll provide you with a supportive and highly creative environment, and the chance to work with some of the best-known and most talented designers, developers and UX people in the industry. You’ll work on high profile projects for the likes of Channel 4, Mozilla and NBC Universal to name just a few.
As a small company we believe that your happiness matters, so we’ve put together a great package. We’ll give you flexible working hours and the ability to work from home when you want. To help keep you flexible, we’ll give you a company MacBook and a training budget of £1,000 to make sure you’re up-to-date. So if you’ve always wanted to go to SXSW but could never afford it, now you can. We run team training days (like sketching and letterpress printing) and company days out (like photography classes and trips to the Design Museum). All this along with our monthly movie nights, beach BBQs and occasional (optional) karaoke sessions, makes working at Clearleft fun.
Please note that the successful candidate will need to be based in Brighton.
Apply: If you think you have what it takes to join our team, drop us your CV, a link to your portfolio and a covering letter (to info@clearleft.com by August 20th) explaining why you’d be perfect for this job. We look forward to hearing from you.
Mint Digital, LLC: HTML/CSS Developer who wants to learn Rails
Full-time
(New York, NY / London, UK)
Do you want to develop your skills by working with an excellent team? Are you excited by the opportunities of the web?
We have an opening for a strong HTML/CSS programmer (JavaScript a plus, but not required). If you’re great with web front-end programming, and you’re interested in learning about Rails, this opportunity is for you.
Many of our senior technical staff initially joined Mint to do a similar job. In your first 18 months with Mint you will get hands-on experience of all parts of a first-class software development process. You will probably also work on the development of Mint's own software, including BloomBox andHemlock.
Apply: Send short email and CV/resume to jobs@mintdigital.com.
Mint Digital, LLC: Senior Developer
Full-time
(New York, NY / London, UK)
Do you love writing software? Have you been doing it professionally for 3-5 years? Do you learn new languages and work on side projects in your spare time? We should talk.
At Mint Digital we are obsessed with building great software and learning as much as we can about the craft while we do it. Our core beliefs:
Creating software should be a fun process. We've been working in Rails for four years, and it's been a blast. Every year, we head off somewhere remote, split into teams and compete for a week in building something cool. We use whatever tools will help us solve the problem at hand in the best possible way. Our current toolset includes: Ruby, Rails, MySQL, Chef, Redis, Resque, Ubuntu, nginx and git.
But at the same time it's serious business. Although we're having fun, we take our responsibilities to our customers and to the products we create for them very seriously. This is true both collectively, and individually.
A software developer must constantly be learning. If you're still doing things the same way you did two years ago, or even last year, then you're in danger of letting the industry pass you by. All of our staff are sent to industry conferences, and provided with training on a regular basis. Although we're known primarily as a Ruby / Rails shop, we're constantly playing with new tools (Scala, Erlang, JS, and Objective-C have been recent obsessions for various Mint devs).
We all have a responsibility to help those less experienced than ourselves. Those of us who are experienced developers can all look back on mentors who helped us along the way. It's the nature of life that we can never really repay those mentors, so the only thing we can do is help others to develop their skills as well. At Mint many of our "junior" developers have moved into senior roles in the last two years, and we're very proud of this aspect of our culture.
We're looking for an experienced developer who's passionate about software, and skilled at producing it. We're not obsessed with the specifics of your experience. It's obviously nice if you have some interest in / experience with Ruby, but if you've been working in C/C++, or Java, or C#, or Lisp, or Python, or any number of other languages, you may be a good fit at Mint. It takes about 3 months for a good dev to become proficient with our current toolset, and it can take years to become a good dev. We understand this. If you think you'd fit in here, please drop us a line with your CV and a short personal email explaining why you think we'd be good for each other. We look forward to speaking with you.
