(Los Angeles Area)

We have an opportunity for the right person to join our team and help take us to the next level of design and usability. That person will influence the look and feel of our brands, and contribute significantly in all aspects of our online presence.

Standards-based design is a must. Usability should be second-nature. Clean, crisp, inspiring work is what we're after.

We'll assume the basics for anyone who applies:

• Hand-code HTML and CSS
• Photoshop expert
• Strong sense of typography, page layout, composition, and color theory
• Basic understanding of jQuery, ASP.NET, WordPress

TAP Worldwide (aka 4WheelParts.com and others) is the leader in the off-road automotive aftermarket. That means we have a thing for trucks, Jeeps, and anything else that can climb, crawl, jump, or race through the dirt. If you're not a truck guy or gal, no matter. We'll accept you into our fold as long as you are passionate about your work, and strive to be the best.

The job is full-time, on-site.

Job Perks: There is the potential for bonus money. You'll be working with a great team of about 25 people who excel in their fields, and truly enjoy the work atmosphere. Oh, and the atmosphere is casual, but fast-paced. It should move quick enough to keep most people's interest.

Apply: Send us a link to your online portfolio, or URLs of past work. Send your resume. Tell us what you're looking to make salary-wise. Send all of that to 6236@jobs.authenticjobs.com
