Hi, Tatum.
Thank you very much for your email.

This is an impressive job opening that I am very interested in.

I have a few questions.

> Develops website code and layouts according to Company guidelines.

Is company capitalized for emphasis? I was confused.

> Reviews requirements to understand audience, usability and design requirements.

I am not sure I can understand anything about the audience unless I talk
to
people who are the audience. Can I talk to the audience?

> Converts design comps into complex working web applications in a hand coded environment.

Is complexity required?
Why does it need to be "hand coded"?
Unless it is generated by machine learning, isn't all code hand-coded?
I am pretty sure every line of code I ever wrote was hand coded.
Am I mistaken?

> Leads project planning with technical, business and project leaders,
> planning and discussing the specifics of projects, new technologies
> and deadlines; influences collaboration and support for
> implementation.

The job title is "Front End Developer".
This seems like a lot of responsibility for such a position.
Maybe you want a Chief Technology Officer?

> Determines appropriate technical and non-technical stakeholders to
> participate in process/project team.

This is for a "Front End Developer"
I am concerned how the developer will know who the correct stakeholders
are.

> Updates existing website content, creates new layouts and landing
> pages that follow existing web standards.

There are existing web standards?

> Develops interfaces that are usable, intuitive and esthetically pleasing.

My spellchecker noticed that.

The job requirement is centered around aesthetics?
That's fine. I went to art school.
I know something about aesthetics.

> Develops ‘Standards’ compliant sites with a concern for
> accessibility and multi-browser/multi-device compatibility.

Why is Standards in quotes?

> Performs UX research for both validating a design as well as
> understanding new initiatives.

UX is an entire science which may be outside the expertise
of a Front End Developer.

What are "new initiatives"?

> Produces user flows

I do not want to ask what a user is flowing.

> Ensures user requirements align with business requirements.

Please explain.

> Develops and facilitates usability tests applying user-centered
> design principles, human factors, usability heuristics and
> methodologies and industry best practices and standards.

What are "human factors"?

> Collaborates with stakeholders to ensure business requirements are met.

That seems like an unlikely alliance.

> Creates sprite maps, icons, buttons, and css themes.

I generally work on hard problems in C++ that don't use CSS or sprite
maps.
Am I over-qualified?

> Mentors and trains web developers and designers.

This is a Front End Developer position, right?

> Stays current on the latest industry technologies, trends and
> strategies, recommends and implements new technologies.

Most of the "latest industry technologies" are not very good.
Did you notice that Angular went through a complete rewrite?

> Assists employees, vendors and customers by answering questions
> related to UI / UX development.

If you use Google or Apple as your guide, you do not have the best
examples.
Wait. .... I'm answering the phone?

> Completes work in a timely and accurate manner while providing
> exceptional customer service.

Wait. .... I'm answering the phone?
This is a Front End Developer position, right?
Am I in India?

> This position requires a minimum of eight years web development
> experience, including UI / UX experience.

I have been writing software for more than twenty years and
I have never seen a list of requirements as complex as this.

> PHP or similar programming server-side experience and competency
> with basic database transactions is required.

If you require someone who knows PHP, I suspect they know
almost nothing about databases.

> Expertise with Javascript, jQuery, HTML5 and CSS3 is necessary.
> Basic experience with CSS pre-processors like SASS or LESS required.

CSS is problematic. jQuery is out-dated.

> Knowledge of RESTful web services and experience with AJAX.

That is pretty much what any entry level Front End Developer would know.

> Experience with more advanced JavaScript libraries and frameworks
> such as React and Angular. React is preferred.

Most JavaScript libraries (focused on UI) today are fly-by-night.
I would consider underscore an "advanced" JavaScript library.

> Experience with some Front-end build tools like Grunt, Gulp, Bower
> Webpack, etc. Grunt and Webpackis preferred.

I've heard of those.

> Proficient understanding of code versioning tools like Git or SVN.

You are using subversion?

> Expertise with Adobe Creative Cloud applications like Photoshop and
> Illustrator is required.

For writing software?

> Experience with cross-browser, cross-platform and/or cross-device
> compatibility is required.

If we stuck to actual standards, and if Microsoft didn't screw us all
over,
we wouldn't have to make things "cross-whatever" compatible.

> Knowledge of responsive design concepts is required.

What does that mean?

>  Demonstrated ability to quickly iterate through multiple concepts,
>  designs and layouts, effectively incorporating feedback from
>  multiple disciplines

What does "multiple disciplines" mean?

> then refining them for improved usability and appearance is essential.

Please explain.

> An understanding of agile development ideas: scrum;
> test/behavior-driven development; code-evaluate-iterate is beneficial.

There is no good software methodology. We're all just winging it.

> Ability to explain technical concepts in non-technical language is essential.

This is a Front End Developer position. Right?
Am I going to be explaining pointer arithmetic,
object orientation, functional programming and closures?

> Collaboration, facilitation and negotiation skills are required.

What will I need to negotiate?

> The ability to work efficiently under pressure, accurately meet
> deadlines,present a professional demeanor is vital.

"Fast paced environment" to me translates as "We don't do good design
because that requires time." This has me concerned.

Also, how does one *inaccurately* meet deadlines?

> Customer service skills including the ability to manage and respond
> to different customer situations while maintaining a positive and
> friendly attitude is essential.

This is a Front End Developer position. Right?
I'm answering a phone?

> The ability to work within a team and serve as a trusted expert for
> assigned duties is necessary.

This is a Front End Developer position. Right?

> In addition troubleshooting, organizational and problem solving
> skills with a can-do attitude and the ability to adjust to changing
> requirements are essential. Treating others with respect and
> upholding Company values is key.

Respect is earned.

I will require a salary of at least $340,000 and relocation assistance.
