Senior Front-End Engineer

You’ve created interactive iPhones using nothing but CSS3 and a bit of JavaScript. You’ve studied BenTheBodyguard.com’s code and want to work on something equally disruptive. You’ve seen the Path iPhone app and want to recreate some of that animated magic online. You feed off working with Dribbble-level interactive designers and Pixar-level animators and illustrators.

You’re obviously fluent with HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript. Bonus points for:

  • Frontend frameworks like Backbone, Knockout, etc.
  • SASS or LESS
  • Rolling your own jQuery extensions

Extra bonus points for:

  • A GitHub page
  • Testing frameworks like Jasmine, QUnit, etc.

We work with Rails and git; some comfort level with this environment is helpful.

Email chris-at-plyfe.me with a sample of your most disruptive work.

HTML5 Game Developer

Let’s keep this short and sweet. We need you to help us combine gaming, utility, and entertainment into one funky, animated platform.

Ya gots to be a Canvas expert, having previously built complex animations programmatically including particle, wave, and smoke effects.  Flash need not apply.

Bonus points if you geek out to Gears. Just kidding. Not really.

Email sean-at-plyfe.me and show him some of your swag, or you can apply at Gamasutra.

Data Scientist

You find actionable stories within data. You live and breath Mathematics.

You know a bit of MATLAB, SQL, and walk around with a smile. Holler at sean-at-plyfe.me so we can talk about over-optimization bias and why correlation is not equal to causation.

Pretty sure you also have a PhD in something awesome (and no, that doesn’t mean a Player Hating Degree).

Economist

You’re interested in monetary policy, interest theory, and econometrics.  Ben Bernanke is your boy, but you grew up on Greenspan.

Either way: Keynsian, kid.

Email sean-at-plyfe.me and tell him why he should diversify his bonds.

Community Manager

You’re a socially awkward social media savant. Ninjas need not apply.

Holler @plyfe on why you’ve got the swag.
