CraftJack is looking for a talented web developer to join its growing team. CraftJack's products reach millions of consumers and professionals in the ever-expanding, increasingly competitive home improvement services industry. If you're ready to work with a dedicated team going up against the likes of Amazon and Google, please join us!
 
Why CraftJack?
 
CraftJack is an emerging online referral service that is an operating brand of HomeAdvisor, the leading online marketplace helping homeowners and home service professionals connect. We're still a fast-growing company with a focus on building real products that solve real problems, and this is a great opportunity for you to get involved at an early stage. 
 
Think of us as a startup without all of the risks: no late (or missed) paychecks, no need to find your own expensive health insurance plan, no working for a tiny fraction of your market value. It also means no corporate atmosphere with strict dress code, no watered-down coffee, and no stuffy bureaucracy to drown out your ideas. We value every team member and if we hire you, it's because we think you can do great things with us.
 
What we look for in a candidate:
 
A small team doesn't have room for big egos. If the only right solution to a problem is your solution, then you're probably not a good fit. We hire people who are smart, driven, hard working, and collaborate well with others, who can shift from project to project but also stay focused. We hire people who write quality, clean code with a passion for problem solving. Most importantly, we hire people who really want to work with us.
 
Technical requirements:
 
- Three to five years of software development experience focused on public-facing website development
- An in-depth understanding of Microsoft web application stack; .NET Framework, ASP.NET MVC, C# and Microsoft SQL Server
- Experience developing for distributed systems, message queues (Amazon SQS), caching (Redis) and web sockets (SignalR)
- Familiar with one or more CSS, HTML, and Javascript frameworks -- preferably Bootstrap and Foundation
- Experience using a Javascript client-side MVC/MVVM framework -- preferably AngularJS
- Familiar with software development methodologies; including Agile and Scrum
- Have the skill and patience to craft semantic HTML and CSS to meet responsive design and cross-browser requirements
- Experience with JavaScript and jQuery that extends beyond utilizing publicly available plugins
- Exposure to using source control systems and workflows in a small team environment - preferably with Git and Gitflow
- Be driven and positive with the ability to thrive and deliver in a fast-paced, innovative and creative environment
 
Compensation & benefits:
 
We offer a competitive compensation and our benefits package is second to none with 401(k) plan with employer match, paid vacation, paid holidays, plus extensive health, dental and vision coverage.

An Insider's view of CraftJack

How would you describe the company’s work-life balance?

Our ethos on work-life balance and productivity today is all about performance and delivering results; less about the hours and more about the quality of the work itself. We prefer working smarter than working longer, often resulting in individuals curating their own day with enough overlap for collaboration while affording personal flexibility.

Noah Mishkin

Founder & VP of Operations

What's the biggest problem your team is solving?

After receiving feedback and questions about certain projects, efforts, initiatives, and how we prioritize product releases, it was clear we could use more information. This launched a new internal video series called, "What Is That?!", 13-minute interviews explaining how efforts align with core values, corporate goals, and customer-centric care.

Noah Mishkin

Founder & VP of Operations

How does the company support your career growth?

Individuals have opportunities to grow here at CraftJack with access to tuition reimbursement, certificate programs, and internal mentorship. We host quarterly business reviews which include a workshop focused on personal and professional growth. We've seen careers grow from part-time internships to full-time new management positions.

Noah Mishkin

Founder & VP of Operations

What is your vision for the company?

I see CraftJack continuing to do what we are best known for: questioning every precedent, principle, and asset within our industry, staying true to our customer's best interest while exploring new technology driven innovation to improve on the successful developments we've already created.

Noah Mishkin

Founder & VP of Operations

What are some things you learned at the company?

A key fundamental factor in my leadership style is empathy. It's less about making decisions based on what I've read or heard works, rather, determining what I myself would and would not appreciate as an employee. Additionally, learning how to be present in a moment and listen well is often far more effective than providing advice.
