Web Developer Position, August 2017

Web Developer

Why You

Stratasan is a Nashville-based company that provides intelligence on healthcare markets to hospital strategists, physician offices, community care experts & others. Our development team builds applications and tools used by healthcare professionals to make more informed decisions about how to best deliver care to their patients. As an example, we give guidance to our clients looking to place a new acute care clinic.

Why You Should Talk to Us

  • Your skills and guidance will have an immediate impact to our small but growing company.
  • We have interesting challenges aggregating, curating and securing billions of healthcare records.
  • We do our best to follow the tenets of 12 Factor Apps and typically deploy to production multiple times a day through our chatbot.
  • We build our products on the open source stack and contribute back where possible. Our team is heavily involved in the local Python community user group, PyNash. We have been regular sponsors and attendees of PyCon North America and PyTennessee.

Our Stack

  • Python with Django & Django-REST-Framework-driven APIs
  • PostgreSQL/Redshift/Redis datastores
  • Modern Javascript including
    • React + Redux
    • SASS
    • ES6 syntax with Webpack & Babel

Why We Should Hear From You

  • You can effectively communicate, deliver ideas and gather buy-in. If anything, you over communicate. We are not interested in hiring developers that only speak in code.
  • You feel home working on back-end systems written in Python. Contributing across the stack may be a future goal but not necessary if you choose to join our team.
  • You're very comfortable building applications on the modern web. You may not know the intricacies of Python, Django or Redshift, but you have a history of delivering complex web applications. If you don't know those technologies, we'd love to help you learn them!
  • Simplifying the usage & visualization of data is the heart of our business. You are interested in manipulating and using large data sets.
  • You're not evangelical about Test Driven Development, but you gain peace of mind writing tests that ensure your contributions continue to work over time.
  • You're comfortable with version control and Git.
  • You're excited to review other team members pull requests, provide feedback and contribute your knowledge to the pool so that we all can improve together.
