Description

We’re ramping up our internal product group, and need someone to drive development and implementation. We are looking for an enthusiastic developer who understands how design and dev can work together to make great things. This is our first development-focused position, so you’re going to help us define best practices as much as you’ll be building and shipping. This is a contract position.

You should be able to comfortably deal with any of the following situations:

  • spinning up new products within the Heist Labs group - that means setting up servers, writing code, and deploying from source control
  • participating in (or running) regular check-ins and reviews
  • proposing and delivering on milestones for all Heist Labs projects
  • learning new skills or technologies in order to deliver a solid product
  • working as part of a team of designers and project managers to build awesome user experiences - thinking about the “whys” of the product

We’re a pretty relaxed, easy-going group, but we get things done and ship great work. You’ll do fine if:
  • you’re organized and detail-oriented, able to set your own pace
  • you’re excited about working on big projects, but not shy about getting your hands dirty on more ‘boutique’ pieces, either
  • you think products can always be improved - iteration is your middle name
  • you have deep knowledge about 1 (or more!) modern programming language(s)/framework(s)
  • you’re tight with HTML, CSS and Javascript (extra credit if you’re friendly with SASS/LESS, etc.)
  • you’re confident about version control and managing code releases
  • you’ve integrated third party APIs and services (or stood up your own)
  • you’re all over test-driven development and data-driven decision making
  • you can communicate clearly about roadmaps and roadblocks

Bonus points if:
  • you’ve already developed consumer-facing apps or services
  • you’ve worked in a fast-paced startup environment
  • you’ve participated in Hack Days or Hackathons
  • you know a thing or two about native mobile development
  • you’ve got some experience under your belt with streaming media protocols

Where will you be working?
You’ll be working from our office at Adelaide and Bathurst.

Who are we?
We’re Heist - a group of makers who help big companies work smarter and faster to create better products and services.
