Talented front-end developer job for Web 2.0 company in Oxford
The company I work for, 2Degrees, is looking for a front-end developer to join our team.
We need a CSS monkey with a good working knowledge of browser quirks and the ability to get even IE6 looking good (although you don't have to like it). It would help if you don't run away screaming from Javascript and can play well with the code monkeys.
More details are below. Email the address at the bottom of the job description, and mention this blog!
