If you read that and don’t think we are sanctimonious jerks by now you must be sold on us, right? Alright - check out our job listings below!
The Principal Back End Developer is the engineering expert who will be building the core of our application code and infrastructure. Your standard toolset will be Ruby on Rails and PostgreSQL, but we make use of a wide variety of technologies in our products depending on the need. Your job will include things like:
As a developer, you'll collaborate with designers, account managers, and in some cases (but not all), clients. Crucially, designers and developers work side-by-side, each informing the other’s work. Their sprints are closely linked to one another so constant communication is essential. Where our engineers take ownership of code quality and performance, our designers take ownership of design quality and performance.
An ideal candidate combines the abilities of a technician and a tactician - someone who is perfectly capable of squeezing every last optimzation out of a block of code, but is insightful enough to recognize it might not be the best use of their time to do so. They have demonstrated the ability to develop modern web applications and have a love for learning. They are independent enough to self-manage and self-motivate, but collaborative enough to communicate and work well on a team. Full stack experience is a bonus!

The Principal Client-Facing Developer (Back End) must function as a “dual threat” in client interaction and back end engineering. This position is similar to that of the “Principal Back End Developer”, with the exception that a sizable portion of their time will be set aside for client interaction. We're looking for someone who enjoys talking to people and wants to expand their skillset into areas beyond programming. This position is not a support position or a non-technical business development position. Your primary focus will still be core engineering!
