Aloha Challenge (Honolulu, HI, USA)

Posted 14-August-2008

Job Description:

The Aloha Challenge is a reality television show in Hawaii pitting teams of high school and university students from Japan and the United States together in a Japanese-English language immersion filmmaking competition. We are producing a web application to mimic the activities of the TV show (blogging, collaboration, and filmmaking) between yearly productions, both as a language education product and a system of selecting candidates for the next Aloha Challenge.

We are seeking multitalented web developers with experience with Django. Solid XHTML/CSS/JS is a must, and an eye for design and user experience, some Flash exposure, Unix and scripting skills, and the ability to work with creative apps (photoshop, illustrator, after effects, final cut (we're a TV production!)) are highly valued skills. We're looking for that energetic, creative person; you know who you are. Finally, Python experience is a requirement, but Django dabblers are welcome -- if you have the skills and energy in all these other areas of web development, learning a new backend toolkit should be fun and easy.

This is a ~3-month contract job beginning September 8, 2008. Finding somebody in Honolulu would be optimal, but we're open to working remotely -- in that case, we would fly you here and house you with the post-production and web team for a kick-off (surfers take note!) Please email a resume, portfolio as applicable, and a brief personal introduction.

Finally, we are open to intern applicants and are happy to work out school credit.
