Stratasan: Web Developer

Web Developer

Become a Stratanaut!

Who We Are

Stratasan is a Nashville-based company that provides intelligence on healthcare markets to hospital strategists, physician offices, community care experts, and others. We aggregate healthcare data, curate it, and provide reports and tools that aid healthcare decision-making. As an example, we give guidance to our clients looking to place a new acute care clinic.

Why You Should Talk To Us

  • We are an early stage company, so your skills and guidance have an immediate impact on the company's direction.
  • We have interesting challenges aggregating, curating, and securing billions of records of healthcare data.
  • We do our best to follow the tenets of 12 Factor Apps.
  • We have built our products on the open source stack, and we contribute back when we are able. Our team is heavily involved in the local Python community user group, PyNash. We sponsor, attend and speak at PyCon North America, PyTennessee and DjangoCon.
  • Our employees have a healthy work-life balance.
  • Our development team has flexible working arrangements (e.g., avoiding high-traffic hours and/or working from home once a week).
  • Pick your machine. As long as it's not Windows. (Just kidding. Mostly.)

What We're Looking For

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Familiarity with the front-end (CSS/JS/HTML).
  • Familiarity with the pros and cons of various Javascript libraries.
  • Familiarity with the limitations of some browsers.
  • Familiarity with the web stack, particularly interacting with REST APIs.
  • Familiarity with Python & Django.
  • Familiarity with the Python data stack (NumPy, Pandas, etc)
  • Familiarity with SQL. We use and enjoy Postgres & Redshift.

We do not want nor are expecting unicorn candidates. If you can say yes to some of those things, we'd like to chat.

Above all we're interested in empathetic & curious developers who are excited to learn, grow & teach.

Responsibilities

  • Develop application user interface code in HTML/CSS and Javascript
    • Libraries we use: jQuery, Backbone.js & React
  • Work with the development team to develop products against a REST API.
  • Create user-friendly interactions for data analysis, including data visualizations (graphs and flowcharts).
  • Write automated unit tests to ensure quality work and prevent introduction of regressions.
  • Develop RESTful APIs
  • Build data analysis pipelines

There are two positions open for this role. Most likely one will be more front-end focused and the other more back-end & data focused. Candidates will ultimately contribute to a web application and will be web developers.

Technologies We Use

If you don't have any experience in any of the following, we would still love to talk. It's more important that you are familiar with the web application stack in general than specific libraries.

How To Reach Us

If this sounds like a position that would be interesting to you email us at jobs@stratasan.com. Send us a plain-text resume and a way we can contact you. If you have a GitHub or StackOverflow account, feel free to include that (but this is not required). We want to know about other projects you've worked on and enjoyed.
