Experienced Web Developer at Bendyworks (Madison, WI)

Who You Are

First, the basics: you want to live in wonderful Madison, WI. We hire full-time developers to work on-site in our downtown Madison office.

Next, you highly value the "soft" skills. You are professional, communicate well, and have empathy, compassion, and understanding for others. These are qualities that make a good developer great.

Finally, you're excited to share technological knowledge with us. We value teaching each other, and we want to add people who will learn with us. You bring the experience and enthusiasm that makes Bendyworks a vibrant place to think and work.

What You'll Do

As a developer at Bendyworks, your job is to create happy customers. We do this in three main ways:

1. Work with customers to determine what they want and let them know what to expect.
2. Deliver working products that meet these expectations.
3. Keep Bendyworks running smoothly.

There's more to say on each of these points:

Working with customers

You'll know the vision and scope of the customer's project as well as gritty day-to-day details. You'll work with them on the daily tasks of agile software development: breaking down projects into stories that are well-specified and helping them choose the best course of action.
You will nearly always work out of our office in downtown Madison, though we may ask you to travel for project kickoffs. Expect to average 1-2 trips per year.

Working with software

Your job will be to primarily develop software in Javascript, Rails or Ionic. As this is a position for an experienced, mid-senior level developer, you should have at least a couple years of professional experience.
We love working in pairs to write code, and do so a decent amount of the time. When thats the case, you'll work together creating, maintaining, or upgrading a client's codebase, according to the client's needs. You'll keep up with changes, improvements, and vulnerabilities in our chosen technologies so you can deliver the best services available. You'll work to improve performance, usability, and code clarity where it's important to your client.
We also need you to be, or become confident working alone, as sometimes our customers need an individual developer.
Making clients their dream applications means solving challenging technical problems every single day. We draw on our developers' expertise at all levels of the development stack, from client-side JS to servers to databases and beyond.

Meta-Bendyworks

Bendyworks is a small company. We work together to keep Bendyworks running, so you'll have some responsibilities outside of the traditional "developer" role. You'll participate in retrospectives and efforts to make Bendyworks thrive. Expect to be involved in the team, whether it's through hiring, mentorships, training, blogging, sales, volunteerism, or a role we haven't invented yet.

Benefits

Bendyworks is a fertile place for a developer. We love pair programming. We strive to work sustainably, so your health and happiness is a primary consideration. You will have regular Growth Time to work on self-directed projects as we view constant improvement as par for the course. We often socialize on Thursday taco nights and play games after work on occasion.
