Interaction Developer

We’re building a new community for people who are passionate about the place they call home. Find people, places and public initiatives that match your local interests, then get involved in the conversations that are making them better.

Your work pushes you to claim a developer title before designer. You’re observant. You’re curious. It’s your data-hungry, human-centered mindset that excels at bringing analytical insights and highly creative ideas to a product. You want to work with technologies like AngularJS, Python, Django and High Charts. Your code pushes simplicity to the user as much as you provide simplicity to our design process. Forget prototyping, you’d rather play in iterations. You are mySidewalk interaction design material.
