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.
We're looking for an extremely creative banner ad designer. Not just a Flash code monkey, but someone that can create a concept within the guidelines of a large array of our client company brands to quickly communicate their brand concept to end-users through Flash. You need to have experience executing your creative ideas within banner ad specs (typically under 40k) and be able to recreate your idea across many different banner ad sizes. In short, you should be capable of the following:
Apple-based hardware and software, your own copies of Flash and likely Photoshop and Illustrator.
Send us examples of your best work and leave out the ones you're not happy with. You can send us zips or just a URL to designjobs at slimkiwi.
Please include your hourly rate, or typical banner ad rate. No calls. No recruiting firms.
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.
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. Code samples will likely be requested. Please send links to designjobs at slimkiwi.

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 a motivated self-starter, resourceful and able to achieve objectives with minimal supervision, though we might not expect you to architect an entire solution...yet. This is an opportunity to grow and become part of a talented team.

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.

We, along with some of our independent colleagues, are looking for an experienced & expert Sysadmin-type on the LAMP platform. We're savvy web developers who get much of what we need done with the help of Google, but sometimes a project calls for someone who knows a server inside & out.
We'd like to establish a relationship with you where we could call on you to hop in and troubleshoot or handle server configuration and deployment on a given project. Please review our other job postings to better understand the work we typically do.
