Do you dream about great user experiences and intuitive user interfaces – and know what it takes to deliver those in an SOA based microservices environment? Do you love to work on small nimble teams that focus on writing amazing code to deliver great products with big impact that are loved by customers?
We are looking for a seasoned polyglot – ideally a full stack or UI focused developer with a passion for building intuitive user interfaces and expertise in understanding great user experiences for a variety of technology products. We want someone that is driven, takes ownership and is solution oriented to join a stellar new team working on our next generation products.

The job involves the following responsibilities:

Building intuitive user interfaces and great user experiences on various clients in multiple front end technologies. We are building our UI using Angular, React, Javascript, HTML/CSS. Building robust and scalable software in multiple modern object oriented and functional languages. We are currently building our microservices stack using Elixir, Java, and Scala.

• Implement scalable clients and scalable aggregation services
• Implement microservices using both asynchronous messaging and through RESTful endpoints
• Work on integrations with other internal and external teams
• Participate in creating and clarifying User Stories, and in planning Sprints
• Dive into hard problems and successfully deliver great results on schedule
• Design and implement multi-threaded and multi-processor solutions

Who we think would be a fit:

We are looking for someone who not only loves building great software but is also passionate about getting stuff done. You might have worked at large top name companies but you prefer small nimble companies with tight knit cross-functional teams that focus on quickly getting stellar products to market.

• have a track record of projects completed on time – you excel at getting things done
• design solutions to integrated systems you often think in Service-oriented architecture (SOA), microservices, and REST APIs
• enjoy learning bleeding edge technologies, but cutting edge or other more stable technologies for built to last solutions
• think that having an intelligent data modeling conversations with a data architect sounds like fun
• enjoy refactoring code to reduce code complexity but understand delivery matters more than perfect code
• think in multi-threaded or multi-processor solutions
• know design patterns like the back of your hand and you chose which ones to use based on the task at hand, not just because one is popular at the moment
• are comfortable with performance tuning applications with tools like JMeter or Apache Bench 
• prioritize mitigating security vulnerabilities as a part of your normal development process
• are not afraid of Test Driven Development (TDD), in fact, kind of like it 
• enjoy heads down coding, but also have good communication skills, love collaborating and are fun to work with
