JOB: Front-end Engineer with UX Sensibility at SocialFeet in New York, NY

SocialFeet.com is a seed-funded startup in NYC that helps online
retailers drive sales through social networks. Our beta product
(called "EchoSales") prompts people to share their purchases at
checkout to Facebook and Twitter. Good bye, interruptive
advertising…hello, product referrals!

As we expand sharing to reviews, ratings, wish lists and more,
SocialFeet seeks an exceptional engineer to lead our front-end
development. We require expertise in javascript, css, html, jquery,
cross-browser compatibility, etc.

Description:

What motivates technology-mediated social participation?

Mobile Social Networking....the experience is not really complete

Mobile social networking is on the rise, but somehow the experience
feels incomplete. I have gone through a couple of mobile social
networks out there and they are nowhere near my expectations.
