Job Description

REQUIRED SOFT SKILLS


•    Fast learner. We’re looking for software developers who thrive on learning new technologies and don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. You should be able to adapt easily to meet the needs of our customers. You have advanced knowledge of at least one scripting language (e.g. Python, JavaScript, VBScript, etc.) and eagerness to learn.
•    Fearlessness. You think a working proof-of-concept is the best way to make a point. You strive on proving that speed and quality are not conflicting; that you can achieve both at the same time.
•    Adaptability. In addition to having an intimate knowledge of the whole web stack, you understand how all the pieces fit together (front-end, database, network layer, etc.) and how they impact the performance of your application.
•    Strong architecture chops. You know how to build highly scalable, robust, and fault-tolerant services that support our unique requirements. You stay up-to-date with the latest architectural trends.
•    Passion. You feel ownership over everything you do; you'd never call code "released" until you’re confident it’s correct. You pride yourself on efficient monitoring, strong documentation, and proper test coverage.
•    A team player. You believe that you can achieve more on a team — that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. You rely on others' candid feedback for continuous improvement. 

You must be eligible to work in the US without Visa Sponsorship.
