Overview
We are looking for a top tier software engineer or chronically under-recognized hacker. This job posting is for one of the first few engineers. You’ll be in a position to shape the direction of the code, the team, the product, and the company. We’re looking for people who are excited by that.
Responsibilities
Design and code new features and enhancements across all our product offerings
Participate in all aspects of a project life-cycle, from specifications through QA
Collaborate on finding and fixing bugs and scalability/optimization issues
Experience
Our ideal candidate will be ready to jump into an intense and high-growth start-up environment.
You have experience building real products in the real world.
We’re generally very focused on raw smarts and experience building awesome stuff.
Skills
Along the top of your resume, you could list 30-odd acronyms from SQL to XML and back through the JVM a dozen times, but hate the idea that that’s what companies will evaluate you on.
You don’t code, you craft. Your solutions are as elegant as they are simple.
You love getting that perfect solution that takes only 4 lines of code instead of an ungodly 6.
At the same time, you can self-manage.
When a critical deadline looms you can power through and deliver a reliable solution.
Technically when most people rank themselves from 1-10 on a language, they overestimate by at least 2-5 points -- you are legitimately an 8-9 .
We are looking for someone capable of owning the whole stack of a project, from HTML/CSS/JQuery through to the database.
You are the go-to guy (or girl) on whatever team you work.
