Who we are
We're building the future of retail, enabled through technology. Come talk to us if you’re interested in creating lightweight single-responsibility apps, building advanced Javascript MV*-powered front-ends, leveraging graph databases and machine learning, and creating amazing user experiences for users both internal and external.
We are polyglots, using the best tool for the problem at hand. You’ll see Ruby, Backbone, Neo4J, Mongo, a dash of Rails, Node, with a side of Java.
Most importantly we want developers that have a keen business sense and an entrepreneurial attitude. We work directly with the business to build solutions that solve real problems and want developers that can thrive in an environment where you’re in the driver’s seat to create something amazing.
Who you are
You’ve been building software solutions and systems for some time now – and love the value created in the business by doing so. You’ve got solid Ruby foundations but are comfortable and excited switching to JS (or… Java) if that’s the best tool for the job. We welcome new ideas and technologies – you’ll be critical in deciding exactly what technologies we use. You’re comfortable working in and leading teams – and have done so in the past, understand and appreciate the value of test-driven development, and love to work in an agile and rapid environment.
How we work
We are a rapidly growing team of smart and passionate engineers. We like people who think independently and feel comfortable helping to drive the direction of the products they work on. We’re not tied to a particular technology or solution – that’s what you bring.
We pair...
We frequently pair program. We work at pairing stations - two keyboards, two monitors, one mind. We work in an open team room; no cubicles or private offices. Communication is key to our process, and we don't want to hinder it with walls.
We are agile...
Agile development methodologies mean different things to different people. We don’t believe in following a process for process’ sake. We ship frequently and focus on delivering incremental value – day by day, week by week, we make the company better.
We value our people...
We spend time regularly working on whatever we’re interested in. We invest in our people by creating opportunities that combine our interests with what the company needs. We have lunch-and-learns, hack days, team outings, and encourage personal learning projects. Oh yeah, and we’ve got a forty-foot long bar.
