Who: DeLapp Design
Position: Senior Web Developer
Where: Seattle
What: Do you want to work on varied client projects with national audiences while retaining 20% of your time to develop internal products? Or work on a small team where you have a direct impact on the direction of the company? Learn and use new technology on the job while enjoying a healthy work/life balance? Then DeLapp Design may be the place for you.
Responsibilites:
– Working directly with clients

– Juggling 6 to 10 projects in various states of completion
– Scoping new work
– Assigning tasks to the team, and helping junior devs with new concepts
– Balancing budget needs when approaching a task: framework versus custom build? Off-the-shelf plugin or contract a specialist?
Learning with 20% Projects
As much as we love working for our clients, we also enjoy the continuity and control of developing our own products. We spend about 20% of our time on this. Every few months we brainstorm concepts, talk about the new technologies we want to learn, and then get to work. Everyone learns something, some turn into fun little demos, and a few have become money-making products.
