gyro is the Global Ideas Shop. We are 600 creative minds strong, united by a single mission: to produce ideas that are humanly relevant. We bring together a myriad of talents, including visionaries, artists, strategists and experts across a range of disciplines, to fulfill this mission for our clients. We are bound by our core beliefs in open thinking, the desire to embrace change and the belief that great ideas can come from anyone and anywhere. We call this unconventional culture UNO. It celebrates inspiration, collaboration and mutual respect and it is what defines us. As a vital part of gyro, you'll be comfortable building the kind of closeness with others that means you know the punch lines to each other's jokes, what everyone's favorite pizza is and quite possibly share the stories that you shouldn't. You will smile, even when it's tough because you know you are not alone. We talk to each other, we work together and we share all the challenges and triumphs a creative life brings. This is UNO.

If you're a web developer who is passionate about what you do, and are looking for a position where you will love coming to work, we are looking for you. We are looking for a developer who can handle both front and back end development equally, and love one as much as the other. We work with the latest technologies, using HTML5, CSS3, jquery/jquery UI and take pride in our development work.

You will be challenged in your work, and we are looking for someone who enjoys finding the perfect solution to a challenging project. We have projects in both.net and php with some other languages coming up occasionally based on client needs, and are looking for candidates that have strength in either, and ideally experience in both.

* Using various tools, you can answer "how do you make this page faster?"

* Being nimble requires taking advantage of new technologies. You need to be able to evaluate a library or service for use on a project based on: maturity, maintainability, portability, etc.

Our culture is about ideas. We have a great office space, and a great team. We work hard, but know how to have fun along the way. Our development team is a group of geeks passionate about what we do, and it shows in our work. Compensation for this position includes a competitive salary, and great benefits and will be based in our Cincinnati, OH office.
