Our goal is a “Meetup Everywhere about Most Everything”, and we’re on our way. We help people use the internet to get off the internet and form local community. Meetups make a difference in people’s lives and can change the world. We’re fast-growing, based in downtown New York City, venture capital-backed, just-turned-profitable, a great place for top talent to do their best work.

Meetup.com is looking to add smart, creative, and experienced front-end coders to our User Interface Engineering team. These are mid- to senior-level positions on a collaborative, supportive, relaxed and motivated technical team. You’ll work with a smart, dedicated engineering team to build the next generation of the site. While Meetup is established and successful, we’re still growing quickly — enjoy the challenges and opportunity of working with a startup with the benefits of a mature company.

As a UI Engineer, you will:

• Work closely with both software engineers and product managers
• Design and implement top notch products
• Create clean maintainable code using primarily JSP, HTML, CSS and JavaScript

• Advocate for best practices, great usability and exceptional quality

An ideal candidate has:

• Expertise in cross browser markup HTML and CSS
• Solid experience in JavaScript and AJAX
• Experience with a JavaScript framework (MochiKit a plus)
• Experience with designing end-user, web-based applications
• Experience with a server-side web framework (JSP, PHP, ASP, Cold Fusion, etc)
• Proficiency with Fireworks, Photoshop or related tools
• User Interface design knowledge
• Experience with a version control system (Git a plus)
• A strong attention to detail and a feeling of pride and ownership over the quality of our product
• Strong verbal and written communication skills

• A passion and desire to work at a company trying to change the world

Every member of the Meetup Team is expected to: be an Innovator; be a Collaborator; be a Champion for their ideas; be an Expert; have High Standards; be dedicated to the power of self-organized groups and our mission of A Meetup Everywhere About Most Everything (“MEME”); and most importantly, Get Stuff Done That Makes a Difference!

Meetup.com is a results-oriented company with an excellent financial footing, a viable and proven business model, and more importantly, a mission to change the world. In order to do this, we need your help. Please send your resume and your cover letter to jobs@meetup.com.
