Job Seekers, Please send resumes to resumes@hireitpeople.com Our development team is absolutely fanatical about creating exceptional user experiences in our tools and applications.  As such, you will be working side-by-
side with award-winning designers to bring stunning interfaces to life on innovative and complex tools and apps every day.  You will live and breathe
HTML, CSS, and JavaScript as well as use modern web frameworks regularly and should possess the confidence to rapidly create and iterate on prototypes.

Working independently is a given, but we also seek those that are passionate about mentorship with junior developers. You will assist to define timelines and
development tasks.

You will act as a voice for the team.  You’ll be working directly with clients and contributing to internal initiatives and tech talks. You’ll also field day-to-day
communication with technical client and third-party teams. 
We believe design and engineering coexist side-by-side, so you’ll work with designers, not just on technical feasibility but on creative possibilities.  You can
speak the language of any department and are equally comfortable working with developers, designers, user experience designers, project managers, and QA testers.

You are comfortable integrating with external APIs.  You've worked with REST APIs and are comfortable with the full request-response lifecycle.  You can
communicate effectively with clients about integrating data from a variety of sources.

You are able to build solutions using the latest client-side frameworks.  You believe in writing maintainable, code that not only performs but is well organized.
Well-documented code and unit tests are something you strive for on every project.

Your role will include:

- Working closely with product management and solutions teams to define new solution framework features insuring a high performing and ultra-
usable user experience.

- Collaborating with peers on technical design, work estimation and implementation of new features including interfaces/contracts with storage
system, data transformation and handoff to front end technology.

- Keeping on top of task and bug management system for assigned issues each sprint as well as estimating and assessing priority.

- Preparing for sprint planning by understanding the details (effort, risk, priority) of remaining work committed for an update.

- Performing peer code reviews as part of everyday workflow.

- Contributing ideas for continually improving the team’s productivity, job enjoyment, and code quality.

- Having fun working with an exceptional team and creating cutting edge software.
