ABOUT YOU

• You’ve been there before… You have an excellent understanding of object-oriented design and design patterns, plus you have experience working on at least a couple, large, shipped desktop software products (at least 1M LOC) or SaaS products (100K LOC).
• You’re a generalist… You’re fluent in a couple of programming languages, and you’re comfortable diving into new code and finding ways to improve it.

• You know Linux. You’re comfortable with a shell and have experience with a variety of open source software such as PostgreSQL and Apache.
• You’re methodical. You’re diligent with design, execution, and testing.
• You’re analytical and a critical thinker. You’re prepared to set high expectations for yourself and try to beat them.
• You’ve got ideas to spare. You will be consulted on application design and product feature decisions and you won’t shy away from sharing your expertise. You bring a lot of new ideas to the table on ways we can improve our working processes and on new technologies we can leverage.

WHILE THE FOLLOWING AREN’T DEAL BREAKERS, IT’D BE GREAT IF YOU HAD:
