Stratasan Developer Description

Who We Are

Stratasan is a Nashville-based startup in the healthcare sector that provides reporting tools that derive market intelligence from both public and private healthcare data. For example, we provide reports that show past and future market utilization (e.g., how many patients are expected to have heart problems in zip code 11105?), charges and costs, quality measures, etc.

Why You Should Talk To Us

  • We are a startup in the early stages of growth, so your skills and input will have an impact on the company itself (for good or for evil).
  • All of our products are on the open-source stack (Python/Django/Postgres/PostGIS), rare in healthcare.
  • We do some really neat things with GIS (mapping), if you're into that.
  • We concentrate on data (warehousing, analyzing, summarizing, etc), a burgeoning field.

Who We Need

  • An enthusiastic developer with prior experience in at least one common web framework (e.g., Rails, Django, CakePHP). Previous experience with Python is obviously preferred, but if you have dabbled in multiple languages and you are willing to learn a new one, we should talk.
  • Willingness to write automated tests to prove that your code works. We're not evangelical about TDD, but we are very interested in making our lives a little easier with testing. If you've used Rspec, cucumber, unittest, or PHPUnit, or even Selenium for full-stack testing, then you should be a good fit.
  • Some knowledge of SQL (we use PostgreSQL with PostGIS) and document storage systems (we use CouchDB). We would love to find someone that has experience analyzing larger data sets (100GB+).
  • Familiarity with DVCS (we use git).
  • Strong communication skills are a must.
