Full Stack Developer Job Opening in Bethesda, Maryland - DO YOU LIKE TO SEE YOUR CODE SHIP TO PRODUCTION WEEKLY (OR DAILY)?
EVER FRUSTRATED BY WONDERING IF USERS EVEN CARE WHAT YOU?VE CREATED?
DO YOU YEARN TO WORK WITH TEAMMATES THAT SUPPORT (AND HOLD YOU ACCOUNTABLE) FOR WRITING GOOD CODE?
Role Summary:
We deliver software that transforms the lives of our users by eliminating the chaos in their days and creating rewarding building experiences for home builders and their clients.
With over 100,000 users and expected 2017 growth of 100%, your contributions on the development team will be key for powering our mission-critical software for thousands of home builders and remodelers around the world and for bringing new features and refinements for the thousands more signing up this year.
As a full-stack developer, you?ll be working on both front-end and back-end code. You may not know all of the technologies we use coming in the door. That?s OK, as long as you like to learn fast and have a good mind for the core principles of software development.
You?ll be part of a subteam of 2-3 developers working on a particular theme of items at any given time. But, we mix up those teams every few months so you have variety and exposure to both different parts of the system and different teammates.
We manage using a Kanban process. So, there are no endless meetings debating arbitrary story points and trying to settle debates about what?s a 5 vs. 8. We also don?t do the Thursday-before-the-sprint-is-over late night sessions. We work hard when we?re at work. We are self-driven to move the cards through the process quickly, but we usually do it in 45 hours or less a week.
Over the course of a year, you?ll spend 75%+ of your time working on enhancements, brand new features, or new implementations of upgraded existing features using new technology. The remainder (but shrinking) part of the time will involve updates to our legacy ASP.net pages. That time is dwindling as we phase out the older technologies in our stack.
And it?s not all about the code. Whether it?s a pancake breakfast, a gamer night, a 5k mud obstacle course race, or a happy hour, there?s time to enjoy the other people who are on the mission with you.
We?re already the #1 rated company in our space, and you can see how much our customers love our system and our people (http://www.softwareadvice.com/construction/co-construct-profile/#reviews). We?re also on strong financial footing, with 12 years of profitable history and three years running on the Inc. Magazine list of fasting growing privately held companies in the US.
