Description
Park Assist is looking for full stack developers to work on our next generation real-time command and control system.Who we are:
The engineering team at Park Assist has rescued millions of people from the mundane and aggravating experience of parking in a parking garage. We are a small, agile and energetic team of hardware and software developers who are passionate about making great products and revolutionizing an industry. We're looking for developers who can help us elevate the parking experience even further and who want to have fun in the process.
Who you are:
You are a Ruby developer who has designed, deployed, and scaled commercial Rails apps before. You have solid programming skills in more than one language, experience with agile development practices and a steadfast belief in the value of testing. Your passion and talent for solving hard problems and continuously improving your skills and your work is self evident.
What you will do here:
As a full stack Rails developer, you will work with a small team to bring out our next generation web platform with interactive dashboards, real-time monitoring and control, advanced analytics/reporting, and complex event processing. You will be involved in every level, including system design, development, and deployment.
How we work:
We plan our two-week sprints in Jira, write documentation in Confluence, and basically live in HipChat. We are agile and pragmatic without being rigid. Our work hours are extremely flexible, and other than a daily 10am stand-up, we keep formal meetings to a minimum. Our technology stack consists of Ruby, Rails, Postgres, JQuery, Bootstrap, Kafka, and Zookeeper, but above all we believe in using the best available tools for a given project and we're not afraid to experiment.
What we are offering:
We provide competitive salary, medical, dental, vision, 401k, flexible vacation policy, whatever equipment you need to do your job well (most of us have macbooks and a couple of displays), and opportunities to attend courses and conferences. Within just a few months at Park Assist you will see your work deployed all over the world (the most gratifying reward, in our opinion). Our office is in NYC (near Grand Central and Penn Station) but we're open to both on-site and remote candidates. Remote employees must be able to come hang out with us every couple of months.
How to apply:
Include your CV and a brief description of a project you've worked on that you're especially proud of. Code samples or link to GitHub account would also be helpful. We will conduct phone screenings followed by a more detailed interview for well qualified candidates.
