Our main office in Bristol, Connecticut has an opening for a full-time advanced Flash developer to help build bleeding-edge applications for the largest sports site in the world, ESPN.com.<\/p>\n<p>ESPN has always been a pioneer in the world of Flash and web development with projects such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The world&#8217;s first dynamic Flash sportsticker (&#8220;The Bottomline&#8221;)<\/li>\n<li>Dynamic Scalable Flash headlines<\/li>\n<li>Real-time Flash GameCasts<\/li>\n<li>NCAA March Madness Flash tournament brackets<\/li>\n<li>Fantasy Football League Manager<\/li>\n<li>ESPN Motion for Mac and Firefox<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8230; and many, many more.<\/p>\n<p>Having worked on this stuff for the last four years, I can say that not only are the projects extremely fun and about as high-profile as it gets, but the amount of resources at your disposal is mind-blowing. What good is writing a data-ticker if all you can pull in is some public domain weather information that everyone else has? Throw in ESPN real-time game update feeds from every single sporting event in progress throughout the country though and then you&#8217;ve <em>really<\/em> got something. In addition to the raw amount of data available, you&#8217;ve got the highly talented production and engineering teams at ESPN working with you to get everything just right.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, if you want to find out more, <a href=\"https:\/\/mikeindustries.com\/blog\/contact?subject=Flash%20Developer%20Position\">drop me a line<\/a> with a link to your resum\u00c3\u00a9 and\/or portfolio and I&#8217;ll pass it on to the appropriate people. I must stress that this is more of a Flash developer position than a Flash design position although it can obviously include some of each. If you don&#8217;t know ActionScript 2.0 and object-oriented scripting, the position is probably not for you. If you do, however, know that stuff and you&#8217;ve got a love for sports, I highly recommend finding out more.<\/p>\n<p>Working here is a fun, fun gig.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you know Flash like the back of your hand and you don&#8217;t mind 15 million people seeing your work every day, ESPN.com wants to talk to you.
