Slim Kiwi™ is a small design and development firm with high standards. We're passionate about providing our clients with solutions and tools that enhance their brand and provide them ongoing value. Providing design and development services ranging from branding/logo/collateral design to flat web sites to CMS sites, e-commerce sites and custom web application development, our sweet spot is where marketing meets technology for the benefit of firms and end-users alike.
On the Creative end, we're focused on design and usability and are looking for talented designers who have great pride in their craft. You would need to be able to design extremely functional sites that are elegant, clear, clean and visually stunning. You need a good understanding of typography, color and imagery. We're looking for creative thinkers, not just pixel pushers. You don't need to know a single line of code, you won't be doing any programming, but you should have an excellent understanding of how to design for the web. Our dev team is extremely talented and visually focused to ensure that we have fewer technological limits on the design side. You should be able to take design direction. We want to see people whose hearts and minds are engaged with their designs.
Apple-based hardware and software, your own copies of software (typically Photoshop, Illustrator).
We don't care where you went to school, or what awards or certificates you have. We just want to see some examples of awesome work. Please send links, PDFs, JPGs, or animated gifs (just kidding) to designjobs at slimkiwi.
Please include your hourly rate. No calls. No recruiting firms.
We're looking for a fine hybrid of a person who can write extremely efficient AS2 or AS3, but also someone who has a sense of style and real understanding of Flash animation (tween classes, etc). You will be responsible for executing designs built in Photoshop, so you should be able to know how to optimize graphics from Photoshop or Illustrator and bring them into Flash. Our Flash-related jobs range from home page marketing animations to complete backend-driven Flash online applications. Even for the small stuff, we want someone who challenges themselves enough to make the ordinary extraordinary. You must have a good sense of timing in animation and understanding of how and where Flash can benefit the end user experience, but also how Flash can create static and interfere with key messaging. We use Flash sparingly, only when it can enhance the end-user experience. We're not looking for exploding fireball navigation, but very clean and clear execution.

Our Technology division is looking to fill a Mid-level Web Developer position in our Salem, MA office. This position is biased toward backend development, but solid HTML/CSS skills are crucial as well. We're looking for someone with proven experience working with popular frameworks on the LAMP platform.
As a mid-level web developer, we expect you to be experienced in working on complete projects that have launched, in both the database and application layers. You should be motivated, resourceful and able to achieve objectives with minimal supervision, though we wouldn't expect you to architect an entire solution...yet. This is an opportunity to grow and become part of a talented team.
We expect a full work week and 9-5 availability, but are flexible when it comes to when you get your coding done. We'd like to see you face-to-face in the office at least part of the week, so don't apply if you're not in the area. (Salem's an easy reverse commute from North Station in Boston by MBTA Commuter Rail.) We're looking for someone who wants to help Slim Kiwi and its clients succeed.
