Job Write-Up(by client):

In an effort to make this process a bit more effective, I have included a new write up regarding what we are looking for in this role. At the same time, we’d like you to present candidates with an exercise to perform prior to the interview that we can use as a basis of discussion during the interview.

The UI Developer role we seek to fill needs to be a strong thinker, communicator and fast worker. This person needs to show a track record of thinking rather than doing. Show me that you’ve come up with a solution to a challenging problem and didn’t just code what you were tasked with.

Way too many people we have interviewed rely too heavily on frameworks – a good developer needs to understand the core language first; otherwise they do not understand how and why a framework does something. This applies to both JS and CSS.

The problem with most of the candidates so far is that they’re “drones” – they do the bare minimum to get their task out the door without any in-depth understanding of how the underlying technology works or what the greater impact is. We need people who can come up with their own solutions. Demonstrating that they’ve done this in the past would be a big plus.

Ideally, I want someone that can be an active, engaged and effective member of the team. The pace of the team is fast, we need the candidate to show that they are able to operate in that manner.

Technical – Must have

• Understand Javascript – that means closures, asynchronous programming, functional programming (understand how callbacks and promises work), scope.
• AngularJS – They should have AngularJS as part of their most recent job description where they were active developers
  • They need to be able to build a sample angular application that has some of the below traits. Modules with dependency injections and the below
• JSON – They should have recent JSON experience
• CSS/CSS3 – They should have recent CSS/CSS3 experience
• CSS selector specificity, pseudo-selectors (:after, :before, :last-child, etc).

Technical – Should Haves

• They should have experience with using different fonts
• They should have understanding of responsive design and how to properly implement it

Non-Technical Should Haves

• Problem Solving skills
  • If the site is slowly performing what steps would they take to remediate the situation
  • If the one browser type is showing the content correctly but several others are not, what steps would they perform to remediate the issue
• Thinking out of the box
  • If one approach doesn’t work what are some other means to accomplish the same goal
