WEB DEVELOPER

Peapod is an e-commerce grocery shopping/delivery service. We are a wholly owned subsidiary of Royal Ahold and a partner with Ahold USA supermarket companies. As our business continues to grow, we presently are seeking a Web Developer for our Corporate Office in Skokie, IL.

Peapod is a fast-paced environment that heavily embraces open source technologies in our business solutions. You'll be working as part of a small, efficient team that has a passion for the products and services we deliver.

Responsibilities include:

Convert image mockups and Functional Requirements into fully-functional static/dynamic pages with minimal direction.
Work with Product Managers and Business Analysts to resolve functional, flow or design issues.
Maintain and support current code base, including some content changes.
Troubleshoot and resolve cross-browser issues in a timely manner.
Work with other developers and Content team to implement new functionality and projects, as needed.
Code to current web standards and follow best practices, including techniques for web accessibility.
Set up and maintain personal development environment.
Budget time to effectively balance new development with maintenance tasks.
Participate in support rotation.
Troubleshoot production issues.

Qualifications:

In-depth experience with open-source tools and technologies. We really can't stress this one enough. Almost everything we do, from front to back, is built around open-source applications and tools. If you cannot set up and maintain your own GNU/Linux desktop and development environment, ssh onto a server to support code you've written, untar a file or query a mysql database from the command line, this is not the position for you.
Solid experience with Servlets and JSP, including EL.
Experience with a Java-based MVC framework, ideally Spring.
Solid experience with hand-coded CSS, XML, XHTML, Schema and DTD. This includes complex, table-less layouts and inheritance. No WYSIWYG editors.
Solid knowledge of Javascript, including AJAX techniques and technologies, DOM, JQuery and JSON.
Solid experience with SQL and a RDBMS. MySQL and/or Informix a plus.
Basic knowledge of Web Services.
Experience with SCM tools such as Subversion or CVS.
Familiarity and some experience with scripts and scripting languages. We use Ant, Bash and Perl, so any or all of those would be a plus.
Experience configuring and troubleshooting Apache and Tomcat servers in a *nix environment.
Java experience a definite plus. There's an opportunity to move into heavier development if desired.
Familiarity with SEO concepts.
Possess a sense of design, an eye for detail and an innate desire to produce quality work.
Have the desire and ability to trace issues to their source- even when those issues lie outside the boundaries of your code.
Able to follow established practices where they exist, and recognize where new ones would be beneficial.
1-3 years of professional experience.

Peapod offers a competitive starting salary, with excellent full-time benefits including health, dental, vision, life insurance, 401K with match, holidays, vacation/sick days, employee stock purchase plan, flexible spending account, direct deposit, credit union and short/long term disability.
