desires to deliver a product that is beyond standard best practices.
Candidates should be capable of designing, developing, testing and
maintaining solutions.  We are building secure and scalable software
from the ground up, and candidates should be comfortable with the pace
and structure that accompany that environment.  We're not maintaining

lead that charge.

• Direct our agile-based team environment to achieve sprint deliverables and acceptance criteria
• Deliver technology from concept to deployment
• Design and monitor metrics to assess system and infrastructure performance
• Configure and maintain our external development and production resources (e.g. AWS, Heroku, Github, etc.)
• Support our cyber and data security programs

Your skill set

• 10+ years of leadership and hands-on development experience on SaaS engineering teams
• Advanced knowledge of Ruby on Rails and JavaScript
• Strong technical design and architecture skills
• Managed development of web and mobile apps
• Proficient in Github
• Strong understanding of unit testing and front-end integration
