Environment:
You’ll be working at a maturing start-up where everyone still digs in like it’s day one and the entrepreneurial spirit is still strong. Here you’ll be moving at the pace you love, fast, and that suits your high energy and positive attitude. The team is still relatively small, so don’t worry about getting pigeonholed here - you’ll be expected to wear many hats and encouraged to contribute in all phases of development and architecture. Everyone here is extremely talented and a growing expert in their field. You’ll work with them all as you rotate through our Scrum teams, where you’ll be deploying your code to production after your very first 2-week sprint. And you’ll have fun while doing it, as we really do like each other and enjoy hanging out and everything from hack-a-thons to happy hours.
