Full Stack Software Engineer - The Neat Company - Philadelphia, PA

RESPONSIBILITIES

We are a small team looking to add an exceptional developer to the mix. Exceptional for us means: plays well with others, willingness to learn, lead and teach in equal measure and an overriding belief in the value of software craftsmanship.

You will be responsible for web application and API design, development, deployment and monitoring. While we want folks who are comfortable in multiple runtimes and deployment environments, we currently use Ruby on Rails on MRI/JRuby, RESTful API in Sinatra, MongoDB and MySQL all hosted on AWS. You'll be pairing with a devoted, talented team of technologists in an established culture of collaboration.

We will expect you to have a balance of backend and front end engineering skills and experience. Experience in Android or iOS development is a plus as the backend work you'll be doing will support our existing mobile applications.

We want to hire extremely talented people who are excited by the opportunity to build and operate a SAAS product that is part of our broader product line. We will expect you to be able to move confidently from standing up a new piece of cloud infrastructure to code reviewing a colleague's work and then on to discussing new feature requests with our product manager on an average day and go home excited to see what tomorrow brings.

The quality of your work must be impeccable when it is deployed because you have already found and fixed all the major problems revealed by automated unit and integration tests and code review.
