Where do you fit in? You will be joining a team of experienced front-end developers working on a wide variety of projects, both web and mobile. You will likely be hopping from project to project on a regular basis, depending on which team has the greatest need of your knowledge at any given moment. You will work closely with designers and developers to build usable and compelling interfaces. You will have many opportunities to try new things and work on the cutting edge of what's possible.
Who do we need? We need someone who lives and breathes JavaScript. Our team has some experience, but we're looking for someone who writes their own plugins and relishes the challenge of writing a solution from scratch. We want someone who can help teach the rest of the team, and encourage best practices. We recognize that JS is an increasingly central component of the types of web and mobile apps we build, and we're looking for someone who can help take us to the next level.
Who are we? We're not just another boring agency building brochure sites. We're a growing development shop who specializes in building compelling and usable apps using Ruby on Rails, iOS, and Android. We practice agile development, which means you'll be working closely with the client, designers, and developers at every stage, not just being handed comps and a deadline. We reward hard work and believe strongly in a sustainable work/life balance.
Benefits 401(K), PTO, Medical/Dental Plans, Health Savings Account. Company outings. Conferences and book budget. Creative work environment with beer-bust Fridays, game room and fully stocked kitchen onsite.
If you think you're the right person for the job, send your resume and examples of your work (ideally your github repo) to jobs@elctech.com
Note:
* Ubuntu 512MB on Rackspace
* Apache
* Wordpress with wp-super-cache and minimal plugins enabled
Thanks for the feedback!
There are numerous db hits that take place before this stage (mainly to figure out which plugins need to be loaded).
Also, the PHP must be interpreted in order to render html. The static site generation has _none_ of this as it's already pre-rendered in html.
Hakyll looks pretty slick. I'll check it out for sure. Thanks
ELC Technologies is hiring iOS Developoers!
We offer all the usual benefits… and if you’re located in Portland, an office with the world’s greatest espresso machine, a team of Kung Fu masters, Eight Ball champions, Nerf Gun Assassins, and world authorities on Dungeons and Dragons.
We’re passionate about many things here at ELC, such as:
- Creating cross-platform, enterprise level mobile applications with awesome UI/UX.
- Having fun, we believe that going to work should carry the same anticipation as that 10 minutes leading up to elementary school recess.
- Being Agile, we don’t force-feed one specific process, but pick and choose what is going to work on a per team/per project basis.
- Solving real world problems without compromising creativity.

After completing my first 90 days, I bought a weight bench/smith machine, started lifting, and started running.
Many people get intimidated by just hitting the gym without much fitness knowledge (the people, the equipment, the possible embarrassment, etc...).
I really have a passion for getting nerds in shape and showing them that it's not hard to live a healthy lifestyle.
