O candidato ideal:

About You:

• You cut your teeth on JavaScript form validation years ago and haven’t looked back.
• Now you write entire applications as static JavaScript and HTML and only access dynamic server via Ajax data.
• You truly comprehend the ins and outs of jQuery and don’t just “dabble” in it.
• You understand why this is important to separate structure from presentation from behavior.
• When you go out to eat at a restaurant, you wonder why the menu isn’t presented in JSON.
• You know the difference between a
  and a (please!)
• You wish IE6 would “just go away already”.
• You thrive in a fast passed work environment and get a rush from releasing a new build.
• You have a love for technology and are generally curious to read, discover and play with new gadgets.
• What we’re trying to say is that you have 5+ years of hard core JavaScript experience and that CSS and HTML are child’s play.

Job Description and responsibilities:

Barnes and Noble is making a major investment in digital books, and our mantra is: “any book, anytime, anywhere”. There are millions of phones and desktops out there just waiting for a great reading experience without the need for additional hardware. Help us make reading more accessible to a whole new generation by making readers as common as music players, and equally ubiquitous. That is our team. It’s not your father’s development shop. You will be working on some seriously cool code!

Responsibilities:

• Develop client side object oriented JavaScript application using HTML5 and CSS3 (yes, the good stuff that you’ve always wanted to work with).
• Write code that looks and feels more like a desktop application than a web page. Pssst… it actually will be running inside of a custom WebKit based desktop application (i.e. no cross browser compatibility worries/headaches).
• Work with the C++ developers to define custom browser API extensions.
