Overview
Jumo, a web start-up with an ambitious global mission, is currently hiring front-end developers. Jumo was founded by Chris Hughes, co-founder of facebook.com and former coordinator of online organizing for the Obama campaign. We're currently looking for hard-working developers who value intellectual challenge, appreciate the importance of online networking technology, and, most importantly, want to change the world. Our small and dynamic team works out of a beautiful and sunny SoHo loft in New York City.

Expert in the use of one or more common javascript frameworks (e.g., YUI, Prototype, JQuery)
