Source: ID Discuss
We're looking for a bit of a jack-of-all-trades to work on enterprise-wide intranet portal applications. This position requires both strong IxD/Analysis skills and experience with front-end development (HTML, CSS, JS, some JSP). I know, I know... don't shoot the messenger.
Experience working in IBM WebSphere or similar portal environments is a big plus.
