Anyways, this client works closely with agencies and product design firms around the nation to provide insight on their marketing by testing biometric responses of their test subjects to a marketing campaign or advertisement.  By measuring an emotion, behavior, or particular feeling from a target, this organization is able to provide solutions, design ideas, or analysis that will better the eventual campaign.  By cutting through this information, factors are discovered that will influence the creative cycle.

Interested in this role, here is how you fit:

  • An expert knowledge of hand-coding and finding solutions through web testing.
  • Expert knowledge of HTML, CSS, and PHP with an understanding of MySQL. 
  • Test Driven Development techniques.
  • Previous database creation skills are a plus as well.

Requirements

With this particular project, this organization is trying to create an internal database to monitor, track, and properly manage everything from the equipment they use to the status of each initiative.  Work closely with the lead developer to create this data hub using Ruby as a framework.  Deliver GUI clickable prototypes to the design team and upper management for review.
