Skills & Requirements

• 
  
• Coding. Our engineers, no matter what level, never go hands off. We think it’s important to be close to the code and always be a contributor. We work with several different technologies, mostly on the Java stack. As a senior engineer, we’re looking for a breadth of experience in a lot of languages, and expertise in at least one: Java, Javascript, and Ruby are highest on our list. You should also be up to speed with frameworks like Spring, OSGI and Hibernate, and on practices like TDD and continuous integration.
• 
  
• Learning. Our engineering team is full of life-long learners. It’s important to stay up on our craft and always keep an eye on what’s next, and what’s best. Open Source contributions and pet projects are a way of life here, it’s not only about the day job. It’s important we learn from each other.
• 
  
• Problem solving. The problems we have to solve are mind boggling. Often times, we are challenged with doing something that no other company has done before. This takes critical thinking, root cause analysis and issue dissection by the team to come up with a best solution.
• 
  
• Mentoring. Teaching and coaching is an integral part of this role. Bringing your less experienced peers up to speed on best practices and new skills/languages is key.
• 
  
• Delivering. This takes a start-up mentality and a laser focus to get the highest quality products out the door here. We do not negotiate on the level of sophistication and quality we offer to our customers. You must be ready to manage competing priorities, pivot and adjust quickly, and always think the big picture.
