We’re looking for someone with a shared passion for technology and design to join our crew. You’ll join a solid team
of tech-savvy artists and creative technologists. Your day-to-day activities might include the following technologies:

*HTML5, JS, CSS, Node - strong knowledge of structuring web applications (this accounts for a large portion of our work)

We like to hire versatilists rather than specialists. So it’s okay if you aren’t an expert in all of the technologies listed above, but we hope you’ve had experience with some of them and are excited to jump into unfamiliar territory. Communication and personal initiative is critical for success in our studio. We look for candidates that have the following characteristics:

*An unquenchable thirst to learn new things
*Excellent communication skills when working with the team and our clients
*A desire to inspire the culture and share new ideas
*The ability to manage yourself and others across multiple simultaneous projects
*Past work that you can proudly show us and explain what you were responsible for

How we work

We don't operate like traditional agencies. Our designers and developers work together as a single unit and everyone works directly with our clients. We rely heavily on prototyping to iterate our way to an elegant solution. We work hard, take pride in our work, and enjoy the occasional Friday cocktail.

I want the Truth!

We’re located in downtown Chicago. Given the type of work and small team size, the position requires working onsite in our office. If you think you’d be a good fit, hit us up! Please send your résumé and portfolio to jobs@truthlabs.com. No recruiter calls, please.
