Description

We're looking to add great engineers to our project to build a whole new platform for our SaaS offerings.   We use Python/Django along with modern front-end frameworks. We work in the academic space, helping faculty and other authors connect with their peers and community to share ideas and research.

We believe in agile methodology - building things fast and iterating. We use GitHub, Jira Agile, HipChat and Moqups as part of our daily CI workflow. We use static analysis tools along with unit tests to preflight code (PEP-8/pyflakes/jshint) and forks/pull-requests to facilitate team code reviews.

Passionate about Visual and User Experience Design
Working with Software Engineers, other Front-End Developers using hand-coded CSS, HTML and JavaScript create dynamic, accessible and high quality applications that represent the brand and support the widest audience possible.

Design Implementations
Collaborates with Product Management, Engineering and Customer Support to develop user interfaces. Creates and then converts a final design into a pixel perfect web application.

Feature Implementation
Uses critical thinking and resourcefulness for proactive problem solving and with minimal supervision uses independent judgment to implement user interface features and improvements.  

Standardization
Support efforts to standardize tools and platforms that enable other functional groups to participate in the front-end development process and actually deploy their own front-end code to organizational standards. Maintains a current knowledge of web standards, design patterns and usability research to provide input on development decisions regarding static assets pipelines and other best practices.

Skills & Requirements
Our stack includes Django/Python/PostgreSQL on the backend, HTML5/CSS3/Javascript on the front end. For services and messaging we’re using Redis, Celery and Solr among others. We use Bootstrap and Angular on the front-end. We’re looking for a candidate that has a focus on front end technologies but is very comfortable wiring up the backend in Python whether it’s AJAX posts or populating a Django template.

We’re looking for developers with at least five years in the industry and with at least one product under their belt written in Python/Django/Javascript. But mostly we want people who are intelligent, friendly and flexible when it comes to changing priorities, and are here to get things done.
