I'm excited about about Javascript and the web of frameworks that have come out of it. I have also been diving into functional programming and see it becoming essential for large code bases.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Not necessarily where you'll find your job, but it shows some demand. A lot of those are probably posted by contracting agencies, and there are a number of contracting agencies where you also might find something.
In Denver there's a lot of telecom and defense, as well as the Boulder mini-oasis.
You say Javascript, so I'm assuming you want web work, but software lets you do much more than web, in almost any industry. Instead of focusing on your technology, think if there's any industry that sounds really interesting.
