Front-End Developer / Web Designer at The Music Zoo

Location: Roslyn, NY (western Nassau County)

 

What You’ll Do: As the Front-End Developer / Web Designer at The Music Zoo, you could expect to take on a number of different roles based on the project at hand. Primarily, you would be writing code for our online store (www.themusiczoo.com) in HTML, CSS, and some JavaScript. You would also use the Shopify Liquid templating language to access product, customer, and inventory data on the front end. You’d occasionally engage in designing some wireframes/prototypes for new parts of the site in your Adobe CC design program of choice. If you’re confident in your design skills, you may even get to work on some promotional material.

The position is full-time, M-F 10am-6pm in Roslyn, NY, which is great for anyone who might be commuting from Nassau County or Queens. Benefits include health insurance, 401k, vacation days, and a sweet discount on cool guitar stuff 🙂
