  • You’re an expert in object-oriented Javascript, HTML, and CSS - able to create elegant and maintainable code from mock ups.
  • You are ready to aggressively push your code out to our customers day one, and you are committed to building a flawless customer experience.  We are a team with a passion for great user experiences on mobile and the web, and want to work with someone that makes this a priority.

  • You are confident in your engineering abilities, and you aren’t afraid to break things.  We have an amazing team that can fix things quickly, so let’s figure out how to push the limits. 
Desired  
  • You’re into Javascript MVC frameworks.  If not Backbone, maybe Ember, Spine, or Knockout.
  • You are a seasoned developer tying front end technologies into the back end.  Whether you are in a Java environment or PHP... we don’t care.  You don’t have to be an expert at everything, we just want you to to be excited about taking your production experience and jumping into an emerging tech stack.
  • You believe in the fundamentals.
  • You’re an active contributor to any open source projects.

Mining this data can produce highly instructive predictions about products, markets, customers and human behaviors.

Knowledgent is a first-in-category firm, built from the ground up to combine IM&A advisory and delivery capabilities with vertical domain knowledge. While our core capability is comprised of competencies that address business and IT strategy, business analysis, program management, information management and Big Data analytics, the context in which we approach any problem is the vertical industry of our clients.
Job Description:
  • ETL source target mapping
