A company that is synonymous with innovation in the technical world. A company that is passionate about collaboration. A company that one of our developers described as more of a game than a job. Welcome to ThoughtWorks.

We are a Microsoft Gold Partner and our people provide thought-leadership to key Microsoft initiatives such as the Patterns and Practices effort as well as being at the forefront of innovation on the Java platform and have pioneered the use of Inversion of Control and Domain Specific Languages. Weve made significant contributions to the Java Open Source community via projects like CruiseControl, JMock and XStream. More recently weve been championing Ruby on Rails. Our Geek nights are full of passionate discussion about peoples latest interests; things like behaviour driven development, cloud computing and languages like Scala, Boo and Erlang.

Add to this our focus on Agile delivery and youll start to see why working here is refreshingly different.

We hire only the most passionate, talented people. This passion may manifest itself in a number of ways. You might be a vocal blogger, open-source committer, book-writer or conference-speaker. You might have a server farm in your garden shed. You might want to find new ways to deliver business value to your clients. You might just want to find out what working with like-minded people feels like, and see if that ignites your passion for IT again.

We are a consultancy, so we cant always promise that our customer sites are as glamorous as our own office space, with the natural light, free lunch Fridays, fresh fruit, snacks and all the caffeinated beverages you can manage. But we do try to make customer work fun. Heres the kicker though, we have work in four states across Australia and our staff need to be flexible about travel. That said, we do everything we can to make life here as easy as possible and always take peoples personal situations into account.

We are looking for people with broad experience in C# .NET, ruby or Java J2EE technologies across all application tiers, with an interest for learning more about other platforms and technologies. If youre passionate about the world of technology, then you should talk to us.

If you'd like to be considered, why not send us your resume?

Don't forget - from time to time we may ask you to travel interstate to work on a project, residing there in the week and traveling home on the weekend. And if you are interested in Global travel, we can help you with that too - we openly promote international office transfers if that is what you want to do.

We are able to sponsor Australian work visas so let us know if you need us to assist with this.

The people using your tools will be Product Engineers, Test Engineers and QA Engineers. Your fellow engineers will use your tools to characterize their product and to develop tests. The end result of your coding efforts will allow RMA engineers to determine a cause of failure on products returned from customers. Firmware Engineers will be able to load new firmware and run new SATA commands and the test department will be able to develop tests for a 24x7 testing environment consisting of thousands of machines running your code.

We don't care what SQL or ASP is, as we have no databases or web pages. Instead, we need developers to help with language, UI (WPF), command line, API, client/server (WCF), and driver development projects. Successful candidates will have a minimum of a BS in Computer Science or Computer Engineering. You will also need to know how to read hardware specs such as the SATA and AHCI specs. If you already are familiar with them so much the better and if you also have Lex/Yacc, WPF, WCF and Visual Studio Shell design experience then you will be a preferred candidate. In addition, we want someone who appreciates the value of writing tests as they develop, so hopefully, the idea of writing code without high code coverage makes you feel ill. Lastly, you'll need to be able to get requirements from users that all want different things and then implement something that makes the most people happy.

As far as our work environment goes, we work in a strictly Windows environment, using the latest Microsoft technologies (Windows 7, Visual Studio 2010 and .NET 4.0 with every dev machine faster than anything you've ever used).

The position is in Boise, Idaho which has some of the best whitewater rafting in the country, hundreds of miles of mountain biking trails around town and snow skiing and rock climbing close enough you can go after work. We have numerous reservoirs that are great destinations for water skiing and fishing and thousands of miles of ATV and dirt bike trails. Hunting and fishing possibilities are unlimited in the area, with some nationally known destinations nearby. To top it all off, you can live less than a 10-minute commute to work and within walking distance of an elementary and junior high school. It is a great place to raise a family.

- JavaScript, Flex, HTML, CSS

- MySQL, Postgres, Oracle, or MSSQL

Job Description:
You're a self-motivated, ferocious problem solver. Dont know a programming language that would be best for a situation? You learn it. Not sure what the best DB structure might be for a given application? You research options, make suggestions, and hash it out with the team.



Youre a team player. This sounds like a cliché but we're a small team. We try to avoid politics here. Theres a team effort to move our projects forward quickly and get them done correctly. We work closely to get it all done: generate ideas, designs, and code -- and accept feedback in stride.


You're a generalist. You're not a one trick pony who is an expert in only one thing. You're a programming polyglot, fluent in several programming languages and paradigms. You live on the bash command line but maybe you can also admin a Windows domain. Maybe you've done time in QA, NetOps, or as a DBA.



You have recent frontend and backend web experience and good knowledge of SQL.

We mainly use PHP but you do not need to know it as long as you have significant experience with a real-world object-oriented language (Python, Ruby, Java, C++, Smalltalk, etc.) and are willing to learn. You must have experience with both backend and frontend development (JavaScript, Flex, HTML/CSS). You grok SQL and have a good working knowledge of relational databases (MySQL, Postgres, Oracle, or MSSQL).


You dream in OO. You're a skilled object oriented designer and have a strong command of common design patterns. You've architected non-trivial portions of systems, preferably an entire system, and are familiar with a framework or two of some sort.



You like to work on Linux or BSD. The Dev team is all about Linux though we do have some Macs. The servers are Linux, the desktops are Linux. You do not need to be a guru, but the more Linux knowledge such as shell scripting and configurations you know the better.

* Our developers work interactively with our customers and with our internal business analysts.
* We have an active research programme focussed on improving and expanding our core technology. Developers share ideas at weekly lightning-talk sessions.

Here’s the short list of things you’d be doing:

  • Work with our design and product teams to turn their ideas into new content and functionality for our marketing, banking and rewards sites
  • Assist our development staff in connecting customer-facing web applications with our internal systems and data feeds
  • Help us measure our marketing efforts by managing dynamic offer content, tracking codes and optimization testing – anything that helps us better track and serve our customers

About PerkStreet

Banking is broken – PerkStreet is fixing it. PerkStreet is a progressive online banking business that has created a free checking account that offers the most debit card rewards and free ATMs in the country.   Every year, the average American family can earn more than $600 in rewards (perks) just by using their debit card.  By rewarding customers for spending their own money, not on a credit card, PerkStreet is riding a wave of customer demand for its smart bank accounts.     PerkStreet serves more customers than 25% of the banks and credit unions in the country; by the end of the year, we will be in the top 50%.  

Who We Serve

  • People who manage their money responsibly, and want to get rewarded for it – not for getting into credit card debt.
  • People who prefer to bank using their computers, ATMs and phones – not branches.
  • People who believe that positive change in banking can happen and choose to be a part of it.

PerkStreet's management team is comprised of former executives from Capital One, JP Morgan Chase, and other top financial services firms.  Investors include Highland Capital Partners, a former president of American Express, and financial services entrepreneurs who have generated over $2B in market capitalization.

The ideal candidate should have 8+ years of application development experience with a focus on database-driven web applications or client-server applications. We're looking for all-around solid developers, but we would really like to see some Python experience in there too. Either that, or you've demonstrate that you've got a really strong programming foundation and convince us that this is something you can pick up. We use a mixture of technologies, but if you only ever want to write Java, this probably isn't the job for you.

We're looking for someone who is energetic and enthusiastic about software development, who's excited about working closely on small development teams, who enjoys taking ownership of their work, who wants to help us think about and design new software solutions, who wants to introduce new technology ideas, and who wants to learn. We are looking for candidates with real-world experience with the full lifecycle of application development from requirements gathering to deployment. We're a small team of developers that have to solve the whole problem, not just our little piece; we're not looking for specialists. We're looking for ninjas, but ninjas that can bake cakes and do taxes and write software.

Candidates should have extensive experience (and usually expertise) in the following technical areas:

Core computer sciences knowledge, with an emphasis on object-oriented application design and development. We need candidates who can architect a solution with many moving parts.
Concurrency - multi-threaded development (including concurrency patterns/data structures), unix multi-process development (forking, etc.), async (select, epoll, etc.).
Network Programming - including writing socket client/servers, implementing custom protocols, understanding TCP basics, etc.
Relational database systems - including database design and more advanced SQL knowledge. We are not particularly concerned with which RDBMS, but we expect candidates to know more than how to select all rows from a table.
Full-scope application development. We are looking for candidates who have been there from beginning to end and who have been involved in all (or many) facets of the development process from creating build scripts to designing class architecture to writing code and unit tests.

Candidates should ideally have experience in the following general technical areas:

Python WSGI-style web application development (potentially with application framework such as Pylons, TG, Django, etc.),
Testing methodologies and/or frameworks (unit testing, integration/functional testing),
Solid Linux background and experience with setup and administration of LAMP services (e.g. Apache, RDBMS, etc.)

Strong additional consideration will be given to candidates who have experience or familiarity with (any of) the following:

GIS development,
Object-relational mapping tools (e.g. SQLAlchemy, SQLObject, Hibernate),
PostgreSQL (administration/tuning, plpgsql, PostGIS),
Twisted or other asynchronous networking frameworks,
Software packaging and deployment experience (e.g. RPM, Deb),
Inter-process communication or distributed computing,
Java (and other JVM langs - Jython, Groovy, etc.)

Responsibilities will include:

Designing and developing backend application servers, typically for RIA applications;
Writing network servers and participating in the design of multi-tier application architectures;
Developing best-practices and mentoring junior developers;
Helping manage small-scale software projects;
Working with system engineers to coordinate application deployment;
And more.

We offer you the opportunity to work on an array of fresh and interesting projects with a smart team of developers. From senior management to summer interns we are a technical company and we work hard to make our company a rewarding, no-nonsense place to be a developer. We encourage developers to use the operating system and tools which they're most comfortable.

Benefits: We offer a comprehensive benefits package which includes 401K matching with vested at 100% from day one, Health, Dental, Vision, Section 125, tuition reimbursement, 80 hours sick, 10 paid Federal holidays, short and long term disability, life insurance, vacation and yearly performance reviews. The company also caters breakfast or lunch weekly and funds other periodic after-hours activities such as Karting, shooting, paintball, or other ideas that employees come up with.

With analytical and code-level troubleshooting abilities to spare, Google.com's engineers are technology whizzes who love being in the center of the action. We tackle a range of complex software and systems issues, including monitoring, responding to and safeguarding the availability of our most popular services.

The role: Software Engineer, Google.com

As a Software Engineer working on Google's critical production applications and infrastructure, your mission will be to ensure Google is always fast, available, scalable and engineered to withstand unparalleled demand. You will be in the thick of solving the [often unexpected] problems of systems at scale in a way most engineers never experience.

Your scope is from the kernel level to the continent level. This position requires the flexibility and aptitude to zoom in to fine-grained detail, and the agility to zoom right back out and up the stack. Delve into how software performs, packets flow, and hardware and code interact, in support of managing services, steering global traffic and predicting and preventing failures.... all in a day's work.

You will design and develop systems to run Google Search, Gmail, YouTube, Wave, Maps, Voice, AppEngine, and more. You'll manage, automate, and make data-based decisions and judgment calls which influence globally distributed applications. You'll own the production services which comprise *.google.com, and critical infrastructure like GFS, BigTable, MapReduce and large-scale 'cloud computing' clusters.

You will also be driving performance and reliability from software and infrastructure at massive scale -- where dealing in petabytes and gigabits and shifting by orders of magnitude is routine. You will tackle challenging, novel situations every day and work with just about every other engineering and operations team at Google. You will be looked upon as an expert and advocate to fellow engineers on making design and reliability trade-offs in running large-scale services and engineering complex systems that fail gracefully and transparently to users.

The most successful candidates for this role will have strong analytical and troubleshooting skills, fluency in coding and systems design, solid communication skills and a desire to tackle the complex problems of scale which are uniquely Google. We are particularly interested in software engineers familiar with aspects of running web services at scale -- depth in either networking technologies and Unix system calls are strong pluses.

Responsibilities:
* Manage availability, latency, scalability and efficiency of Google services by engineering reliability into software and systems
* Respond to and resolve emergent service problems; write software and build automation to prevent problem recurrence
* Participate in service capacity planning and demand forecasting, software performance analysis and system tuning
* Review and influence ongoing design, architecture, standards and methods for operating services and systems

Requirements:
* BS/MS Degree in Computer Science or related field, and/or equivalent work experience
* Fluency in one or more of: C, C++, Java; and familiarity with one or more of: Python, Perl, Shell, PHP
* Expertise in data structures, algorithms and complexity analysis
* Expertise in analyzing and troubleshooting large-scale distributed systems
* Knowledge of IP networking, network analysis, performance and application issues using standard tools like tcpdump

If you're a recruiter, click on the Back button. This ad is for job seekers only.

YOU

You really like to code. In your spare time, you have a side project or two going. Being another drone in a large corporate development organization is not for you. You know how to write solid code, and you're fast but not sloppy. You're constantly reading another book to improve your skills and make your life easier. You're not perfect but know how to write decent unit and system tests to get as close as you can to bug-free code.

You take a lot of pride in the code you write, and make sure it meets the needs of your users. You're comfortable talking to customers, sales reps, and anyone else who keeps us in business. You know Java extremely well but don't call yourself a Java programmer or any kind of programmer. Whatever is best for the job at hand is fine with you, whether it's Java, C#, PHP, Flex, etc. You have no fear of new languages, new platforms, and new challenges. If you're with us a while, and that's what we 're hoping for, you'll surely be picking them up when it makes sense.

You have excellent people skills and communicate well. You're patient with those who don't have your technical skills. You're reliable; when you say you'll do something, people who know you know that it will get done without further prompting.

US

We understand the high value of great developers and treat them accordingly, but that's not why we're a great place to work. We won't force tools on you and we only use a methodology if it's makes sense for us. We'll not only listen to your ideas on how to make things better but we'll encourage you to go get it done. In our market, we're not only the leader, we're the innovator. Your ideas will see the light of day, usually within a month or two from birth. We're all about making our customers happy and being the best software company our customers have ever dealt with. We strive for excellence and continuous improvement, in our products, our systems, and ourselves.

We are about great service, and as important as happy customers are, we want you to be happy and we want this to be the best (and maybe last) job you'll ever have. It's important to us that you find a good balance between your job and the rest of your life.
 
THE JOB

You will take over the development of our flagship software application. The code is in decent shape, but it could always be in better shape. That's why we're looking for you. The product is written in Java and uses Swing. If you feel that parts of the code need to be rewritten, you can rewrite them. You're a designer, a tester, a release engineer, a bug fixer, and tech support all in one. We're a small company, so we don't have separate people in each those roles (yet).

Our product is used by thousands of customers, and with releases every month or two, you'll have immediate feedback on how you're doing. Over time, the product will slowly take on your character: great performance, great quality, and a great solution for the task at hand.

The job is in Atlanta, but we're open to remote telecommuters.

Is this you? Does it sound like a good fit? Write us and let us know if you're interested.]]> <![CDATA[Top-notch Web Developer (python/django) at We Also Walk Dogs (San Francisco, California United States; New York, New York United States; Chicago, Illinois United States)]]>
