VIGET IN A NUTSHELL

  • We plan, design, build, and market web sites and digital products.
  • We are nearly 50 passionate, talented folks who love working together and with our clients.
  • Our clients range from up-and-coming start-ups to established non-profits to big brands.
  • Early 2012 looks to be brimming with new work for us -- and for you, if you're the right fit for our team.

 

NOT JUST BUZZWORDS AT VIGET

- COLLABORATION: we mean daily cross-site standups, pairing and sharing, and non-trivial code reviews.

- VARIETY: from Squidoo to PUMA, Bypass to National Geographic, Posterous to Cisco, our mix of clients could not be more diverse. You might work on a project for 2 weeks or 2 years. You'll work with multiple clients. And you'll have a big say in which clients we take on.

- CULTURE: see for yourself on our Flickr account.

- XHTML, CSS, Javascript, and AJAX are no big deal for you.

- You have a BS in computer science, engineering, information systems, or equivalent experience.
