Careers

Working with Hugeobject

We are always on the lookout for outstanding freelance talent to help drive our business.

We do require that you have acess to IM, email, FTP and Skype, but pretty much everything else is negotiable.

What makes a good Hugeobject Employee?

You should love the Internet. Not just use it to get your work done, but really love it.

You should enjoy building and designing things that people are going to enjoy. When designing a layout, you should care if that image is one pixel off-centre (because we do). Your designs should stand out because you take the time to do the little things well.

You should care if your code can be re-written to be cleaner and quicker with a little bit more effort, and you should be willing to do that if it will result in a better application. Near enough is not good enough.

You should use standards based code. Not because we require it (although we do), but simply because it will result in a better website. We go the extra step to do things properly, and you should too.

If you are interested in doing some work for us, take a look at the skills we require below and drop us an email if you are keen.
