We are looking for passionate developers interested in working across our stack (JavaScript on the front-end and Java on the back-end with an emphaiss on a REST based platform) creating a revolutionary interface that pushing the limits of current browser based technology.

Sick of working on boring projects with lousy architectures you have no control over? Wish you had more say in what you work on and how? Rally is hiring developers to work on our next generation of software development tools.

Here are the top 10 reasons developers choose to work at Rally:

1. Hackathon - Every 8 weeks, Rally developers get a free week to work on whatever they want to help the business. This means that 12.5% of your time is free for exploring new technologies and architectures. Several Hackathon projects have been integrated into the product and released, so you have a real opportunity to influence product direction.

2. Influence - You are encouraged and empowered to make things better. The team owns all architectural and framework choices, so if something's not working, you really can change! Don't just put up with it, fix it, and you will have the support from your team and management to do so.

3. No ruts - You'll have the opportunity to work across the stack (JavaScript, Java, REST, database, etc.) as well as provide input to which features should be developed.

4. Collaboration - Our teams work closely together in a Scrum style, enabling us to learn from everyone's experience rather than getting trapped in silos.

5. Pace - Sustainable. No weekends.

6. No dress code - Please wear something.
