JOB #21

Senior Software Engineer

Buddy is growing fast.  We've got a business model, and it's working.  Every day it's more customers, more API calls, more scenarios coming on line, and big plans taking shape.  We are developing a full-stack product that ranges from a high-scale HTTP web service, to database calls, to big data analytics, to front-end websites, to mobile apps. There's lots to be done, and we need software athletes to really make this thing fly.

You like delivering features end-to-end.  You like being able to work in different technologies throughout the day.  You just straight-up love building things.  You put stuff on GitHub, you have a bunch of pet projects, you dream up things to build just so you can learn how a new platform works.  You're not just a front-end developer, or a back-end developer, or a mobile-developer.  Why fit into just one box? 

Responsibilities

Why would you want to work at Buddy?

We're a startup.   You'll write code all day.  The only meetings you'll have are in support of that.  You'll get great benefits, as listed above.  Really, what other place pays for your phone and cable bill?!?!  Come join us.

Qualifications

  • You've built stuff you can show off.  That GitHub project you've been chipping away at, or a mobile app you built, is perfect.
  • You've built code at many levels of the stack.
  • You're comfortable with today's technologies: HTTP, HTML/CSS, Javascript.
  • You've had some exposure to mobile device programming: Android or iOS (or better yet, both!)
  • You've built web backends in something like .NET, Java, Ruby, or Java.  You've connected those backends to some kind of data layer (SQL, MySQL, MongoDB). Bonus:  you've pushed something out to a cloud provider like AWS, RackSpace, or Azure.
  • You're quick to pick up new skills and technologies.
  • You've got a good sense for the right tradeoffs between doing something right, doing it fast, and how to maximize both.
