As a Web Developer for PR Newswire, working in our Jersey City, NJ office, your primary task will be to design and build HTML and graphical components for our websites. You will work with technical and business stakeholders to develop creative looks and feels, production-ready content, tweak existing websites, and more. Your advanced abilities with HTML/XHTML/DHTML, CSS, and JavaScript, your working knowledge of XML (and XSLT), and any talents you possess with other Web 2.0 technologies (AJAX, Flash, Silverlight, etc.) will serve as your technical foundation for this role.
