Application Developer, (Nashville, TN or Portland, OR)
As a member of the Application Development team, you'll work with various free languages and software to power Emma's deceptively easy-to-use interface. While we in AppDev get down with the nitty-gritty of scaling concerns and database query performance, we're more often focused on the challenge of turning the dreams of our User Experience crew into reality.
On any given day, you might be writing a new jQuery plugin or pushing up the next release of some homegrown free Python library to github. At the same time you might be sharing your ideas and experience about that next awe-inspiring feature. We're a tightly-knit group looking for an enthusiastic and thoughtful developer who's an even better team player.
Contact us and be sure to point us to some code or work of which you are particularly proud. We love github or bitbucket profiles!
