Trying too hard to be cool:
"to make sure the puzzle fits together perfectly"
________________________________________________________________________
gloo is a fully-funded startup in Boulder CO that has exited beta and
launched our mobile apps (iOS and Android). We are in search of
someone to join our team of developers focused on our interactive,
mobile publishing platform. You will help us maintain and continue to
build-out this platform as a key member of our web application
engineering team.
How you MIGHT spend your day
* Designing, developing and maintaining our APIs and top level
applications
* Working independently, pairing with a senior developer or in a
small work group on to build a product you are proud to put your name
on
* Working with the product team to turn our customer's vision
into reality
* Working alongside the mobile development team to make sure the
puzzle fits together perfectly
* Applying your best practice experience in
test-driven/behavior-driven development to deliver rock solid product
* Thinking through a tough challenge over a game of foosball
A bit about you:
* You have at least 4 years of front end web application development
experience including Javascript, HTML5 and CSS – transactional
business applications within a structured framework
* You might have played with Clojure on Ring or Scala on Play 2.0 and
are excited by the possibilities
* Your application development experience involves writing APIs;
exposing services for others to consume and making sure that all the
pieces/parts work together smoothly
* You aren't afraid of SQL queries – after all, most
applications have a database (we use Postgres)
* You have a passion delivering high performing, well-written
software that is easy to maintain
* You thrive in an environment where "what if" is commonplace
and feel confined when the rules are already set in stone
* You have worked in an early-stage company so you know what it means
to shift priorities and wear a bunch of hats
* Open Source tools are your preferred sandbox
* You are an organized professional capable of managing your time,
tasks and activities without daily guidance
* You have a talent for making sense out of obscurity – you
immediately begin executing concepts in your mind the moment someone
has an idea
* Building strong and long-standing relationships is an important
part of your being
Anti-Requirements
* A need for structure and repetition in every work day
* Using the words, "it can't be done" in a sentence
* Believing, "that's not my job"
Compensation
* Compensation commensurate with Experience
* Medical with HSA contribution
* The opportunity to work with a team of smart, committed and
passionate engineers
* A startup vibe without the startup hours
