Dizzy Heights (UK) Limited - Golf Website Developer Job Brief - Q1 2008

The Role
We require a website developer with good all round technical skills but a particular emphasis on working with rich interactive media (in particular video) to help us create a new video community for lovers and players of sport everywhere.  Initially the project involves golf but we can see a glorious golden path ahead of us where we cover all sports for all people all over the world!

You will be right in at the start and your ideas will gel with ours to create something that’s different to anything else out there; and as it grows we’ll need you to not only build the site but also build a development team and/or outsource to help us cope with the growth.

Location
Flexible - working from home (anywhere in the world) or from South West London.

Package
£neg - for the right person - we would be keen to look at sharing in the rewards as we build the business.

About Us
Dizzy Heights is a start-up publishing business currently specialising in sport, with a current focus on golf.  In a nutshell, we've got some of Europe's leading golf coaches to do a series of bite sized video lessons and we plan to setup a great new interactive video network/community site and share them with the world for free!  We’ve got plenty of creative ideas as to how we can develop a fantastic site that’s so different to anything out there - we just need a few more creative geniuses to come and have some fun with us building a business that will go where our imagination and our users’ wishes take us.

About You
We are looking for a creative, fun and entrepreneurial web developer to help us build a new site and to develop a business around our content and contacts in the golf market.  We’re ideally looking for someone to work full-time on this project but would love to hear from anyone interested in participating on a part-time basis, especially if you are partial to the odd round or two of golf every now and then.

Experience and Skills

• Working knowledge of creating applications using the Brightcove player and API (or similar) is our top priority.
• Background in developing consumer facing websites.
• Extensive knowledge of Javascript and working with APIs; knowledge of Macromedia Flash 8 (or higher) and preferably ActionScript 2.
• General competence with web site hosting, development and deployment; and the creation and troubleshooting of HTML documents, with focus on embedding interactive content.
• Experience of working with common industry standard environments; creation and troubleshooting of XML documents.
• Use of StoryMaker software tools and Flex 2 would also be helpful.

 
This opportunity would be ideally suited to someone who is passionate about working on a series of appealing new projects where the emphasis will always be on doing something different, building something magnificent, having a lot of fun and making a few pounds along the way!
