Database Developer [Intern / Part-Time] in Detroit

Sun, 12 May 2013 08:55:24 GMT

Here at Motown Initiative we are video fanatics building a new kind of digital viewing experience. A key
component to our video site is the ability to personalize the interface. This requires not only a flexible
front-end but an attentive and modular back-end. We are in search of a data oriented mind that enjoys
developing database applications that drive a user experience. If you thought the movie Inception was
complicated, this probably isn’t your cup of tea. We’re implementing algorithms and logic rules with
various interdependences, all of which will be managed by the user session you’ll work to develop. Now
if you’re still reading, and you’re excited to learn more, then you may be ready to join our fast paced
product development team that will soon make its mark on the entertainment industry.

At Motown Initiative, we work hard and we play hard. This is our philosophy, in both life and product
development. At Motown you could spend your morning dissecting a python video feed parser, the
afternoon integrating our UI with the MiAD™ database and if it’s Wednesday… you’ll likely
have a drink in hand after 6pm because it’ll be office happy hour.

Our ideal candidate should thrive under the pressure of demanding deadlines and strive to produce the
best product possible. Before the end of the internship our public beta product will launch, and you will get
a chance to see your work in action. If you have what it takes to join a team that is working to create the
future of digital media, do read on into the position’s requirements and responsibilities.

Web Developer V1.0 Build Team [ HTML5 and faux OOP Javascript ] in Detroit

Thu, 09 May 2013 20:56:17 GMT

While we have already built our beta completely in ActionScript3 / PHP / MySQL, we are now creating a new front-end. This will be a comprehensive web application that functions responsively on any platform built with HTML5/CSS3/Javascript and an MVC framework. We will be transposing some of our current code and creating new code as well. We’re looking for an object oriented mind that really knows the ins and outs of CSS3 and Javascript. What’s that mean ? You love coding Javascript in an OOP manner, creating methods, objects, functions and faux classes. Familiarity with multi-layer interactive web applications is a must as well, there will be a lot going on at different z-levels within Ubi. The ability to build touch scrollers, drag and drop functionality, image carousels and other animated functions from scratch (or free licensed code) is a must. Ultimately we’re going to build an awesome app that works on everything from a connected Samsung TV to an iPad.

Our ideal candidate should thrive under the pressure of demanding deadlines and strive to produce the best product possible. Throughout the process you will have development documentation guiding you on feature requirements and preferred code structure. If you have what it takes to join a team that is working to create the future of digital media, do read on into the position’s requirements and responsibilities.
