The ideal candidate should be able to quickly hand-code clean HTML and CSS from Photoshop comps and wireframes and have a basic understanding of interaction design and user-centered design methods and practices.
Our team is made up of a motivated group of developers, information architects, Web designers and other creative types who work hard every day to improve the user experience at Sears.com, Kmart.com and other Sears Holdings sites.

Okay, there are a few other requirements we’re asking for — so take a look at the list below. If you have all, or most, of these qualifications, we’d like to hear from you right away!

Strong HTML, XHTML, DHTML, CSS and XML programming skills, including “table-less” coding practices.
Proficiency in JavaScript, Flash, Adobe Photoshop/Image Ready, Adobe Illustrator and Macromedia.
The ability to create clean, precise browser-compatible code and reusable code libraries.
Knowledge to turn business and user requirements into elegant user interfaces and compelling interactive experiences.
A comprehensive portfolio.
Excellent communication skills and a respect for other perspectives.
Expert conflict resolution skills, with the ability to negotiate with stakeholders.
Organized, self-directed, efficient and able to prioritize and manage multiple tasks across multiple projects, under tight deadlines.
And it’s a big plus if you have the following:
