I am looking for an experienced JavaScript/jQuery/css dev to help us with a unique opportunity. We make Tap Tap Revenge, the hit iPhone game, downloaded by over 18 million people. Here is why the opportunity is unique - we serve tightly optimized, compressed, cached, web content (including storefronts, and many social features such as avatar editors, chat, feeds) to millions of our users in webviews inside our native application. We pride ourselves in creating as native an experience as possible - which means fast code and an attention to detail.The code is primarily JavaScript, jQuery & webkit and only targeted at mobile Safari (no cross-browser compatibility boredom, yah!). You'll be implementing new features and improving old ones. You'll spend a significant amount of time "off the reservation" writing custom and non-standards compliant code so you need to have a hacker DNA and proficient well beyond cut-and-paste code.At the end of the day we are looking for a fulltime person to join the team (its a fun environment and a hot company ... check out our press at tapulous.com/press) , but will also work with a contractor in the short term.
