Changes in New Media, job opening for a web designer/developer

There are changes in store for the New Media Initiatives department. After being with the Walker for four years, I’ve taken a position across the river Minnesota Public Radio as a Web Designer/Developer. It is very hard for me to leave the Walker, but I’m excited about working on new projects for an even larger audience at MPR.

This means there is a job opening in New Media, and if you’re a web nerd, you should consider sending in your resume. My title at the Walker is New Media Designer, but the job posting is for a Web Designer/Developer. This reflects the changing nature of the work I’ve taken on over the years, including doing more back-end development work on the Walker Channel and Mobile Site, amongst other projects. In the future, we have work planned around an overhaul of major portions of the Walker website. Our tool of choice is Django, but even if you don’t have python or django experience, consider applying. I didn’t know a lick of Python or Django when I tackled My Yard Our Message, but it was easy to get up to speed and make things happen.

Full details for the position are listed on jobs site, and the deadline for applying is September 3rd.
