About You

  • At least a few years of web development experience under your belt.

  • Be able to put together robust, maintainable systems. Hacking together code for one-off projects isn’t going to cut it in this shop.

  • Degree in a technical field is preferred, but not essential.

  • Be super smart and get things done.

  • You understand the difference between smart shortcuts to take and a ugly hack.

  • Ideally, you’re really comfortable working in HTML/CSS, Javascript, and a few server side scripting languages (with bonus points for Node.js). That said, we know that a good developer only needs a few months to pick up a new language and framework. So even if you’ve only worked with PHP in the past, if you’re a rapid-fire learner and a go-getter, we’d still love to talk to you!

Our client side app is built on a fairly sophisticated JavaScript framework and makes use of JQuery, backbone.js and all the usual suspects. The server side is written in Python on Django, with a MySQL database. In addition we use Node.js and SockJS for our real time components. Our systems all run on Amazon Web Services.

You will be will be working a variety of projects relating to our flagship web application. These will include frontend MVC application design and development, DOM optimization, and scalable and modular HTML/CSS . In terms of backend development, you will be working on our Django application and creating lightning fast REST APIs.

We like to hire developers who have solid full stack experience but definitely value, and accommodate, developers who choose to be more focused on either front-end and back-end development.

You should be comfortable with most of the following:

  • Semantic HTML and HTML5 concepts

  • CSS 3.0

  • JavaScript

  • Git

  • Automated unit and integration testing

  • HTTP

  • REST APIs

  • Databases (Hopefully including query performance and optimization)

We think the best sign of a good developer is interesting projects they’ve done on their own time, not just things they were assigned by their boss or in university. So please showcase any cool side projects, open source contributions or community involvement.
