Front-End Developer (UI)
In response to hospitals' growing need to integrate and standardize disparate data into meaningful, actionable information, the Advisory Board offers a suite of web-based applications. The goal of these solutions is to elevate a member (client) institution's ability to surface problems, make faster and better decisions and ultimately improve performance. The Advisory Board currently offers applications covering a variety of content areas including revenue cycle, surgical services, supply chain, nursing, emergency department, and physician performance. Over the past several years hundreds of hospitals have elected to participate in these initiatives and - given the attractive ROI associated with these solutions - we anticipate continued growth.
Position Responsibilities:
- Aide in the development of solutions that support consistent information architecture, taxonomies, visual standards, interaction patterns, and use cases across multiple applications
- Review designs, document front-end technical specifications, and provide time estimates for the implementation of features/fixes
- Convert production mockups to quality XHTML/CSS/JavaScript for multiple enterprise software products
- Self-start and steward your implementations through the software development process ensuring you champion the standards of the UX team in every development challenge
- Maintain a close working relationship with a geographically distributed development team in an evolving agile environment
- Follow common sustainable page design, management, and development methodologies
- Perform testing at the page source for presentation layer defects
Basic Qualifications:
- 3+ years of professional work experience in a software development organization
- 3+ years of professional work experience with XHTML, JavaScript, CSS
- Bachelor's degree
- Professional experience cropping optimizing production artwork using one of the following design tools: InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator
Ideal Qualifications:
- 4+ years of professional work experience as a user interface developer of web applications
- 3+ years of professional work experience coding rich, immersive interfaces using jQuery, javascript, CSS, HTML 5 and other front-end web technologies

- Experience in a cross browser implementation
- Proven ability to manage several projects simultaneously
- Demonstrated ability to deliver high quality software in a fast paced environment with iterative deadlines

What This Role Is Not :
- This is not a .NET developer role . Having the ability to program higher technologies is a big plus. It will help you understand the power and limitations of the platform when working with the product development teams. However, you will not be writing C# code in this role.
- This is not a usability analyst or designer role . While knowledge of common usability patterns and practices is a sizable part of this role -- it relies heavily on your ability to actually implement the visual treatments and compelling interactions that come about from your close work with the UX Designers.
Benefits: Consistent with our belief that our employees are our most valuable resource, The Advisory Board Company offers a competitive benefits package, including a comprehensive health plan, a 401(k) plan, an Employee Stock Purchase Plan, a daytime leave policy for community service, a medical flexible spending account, and additional attractive benefits.
