Named one of most innovative design companies in America by Fast Company, Hoefler & Frere-Jones (H&FJ) is a leading digital type foundry with a body of work that includes some of the world’s most famous fonts. H&FJ works with brand leaders in every sector, developing original fonts for print, screen, and mobile applications, and licensing them through our New York office and our website www.typography.com. Our collection includes the signature typeface of the Obama campaign, the fonts used by magazines from Wired to Martha Stewart Living, the institutional typefaces of the Whitney and Guggenheim museums, and the Hoefler Text font family that has shipped with 75 million Macintoshes. A leader in the industry for more than 20 years, H&FJ’s mission is to enable people to speak in a unique voice across all channels, always with an emphasis on new and emerging technologies. It’s an objective that’s led us to create new products and services that bring fine typography to websites, mobile apps, eBooks, and beyond.
We’re looking for smart and ambitious front-end developers who are ready to flex their muscles.
H&FJ’s site and web apps serve a rare and refreshing audience of tech-savvy designers, the ones who run the latest nightly builds of browsers, and experience everything on 23” monitors and Retina Display iPads. We’re looking for developers who are up to the challenge of delivering thoughtful, intuitive, and delightful experiences to readers who appreciate the difference, and have come to expect the best. If you’re looking for an opportunity to do all the things you wish you could at your current job, to join a team of people who share your enthusiasm for what’s possible, and to work for a company that values invention, care, and getting it right, read on.
It goes without saying that we’re looking for candidates with impeccable chops: strong UX instincts, a sharp eye for detail, a mastery of current web technologies and practices, and an unshakable understanding of how the servers come together to deliver the site. You must be fluent in JavaScript, AJAX, and CSS3/HTML5, be familiar with a stylesheet language such as LESS, and live and breathe web standards and optimization. Come in with a list of technologies you’re excited to explore.
