Join a creative, flexible culture at one of downtown Chicago's fastest growing software development consultancies

Earlybird creates custom software empowering organizations to grow and solve problems using data.

Our hand-picked team of technologists and consultants features a wide range of professional backgrounds, from large global companies like Accenture and Google, to early-stage startup firms in advertising, energy, and healthcare. Through more than 150 builds since 2012, we have worked hard to earn a reputation as approachable, knowledgeable, and consistent technical consultants.

The Opportunity

Earlybird clients are streamlining cancer research, organizing marathons, inventing new ways to share streaming video, and so much more. Many of these entrepreneurs and business leaders have chosen us not just for our end-to-end application development abilities, but our agency's particular focus on back-end systems and experience working with large data sets.

We're looking for a motivated, inquisitive, service-minded engineer interested and willing to lead development and delivery on their own portfolio of client assignments. This individual will work collaboratively with our agile production team to plan, architect, code, and optimize innovative applications from the ground up. We've doubled our business in the last year, and we expect this role to grow with us, with future opportunities for production management or specialization, depending on your personal goals and aspirations.

Requirements
  • More than 2 years of OOP experience using PHP and/or JavaScript
  • Ability to communicate clearly and constructively with both clients and colleagues
  • Undergraduate degree in computer science/engineering or equivalent experience
  • Experience using or creating application programming interfaces
  • Familiarity with Git and best practices for source control
  • Strong architectural and design sense
  • Confidence using MVC frameworks

Pluses
  • Comfort with CSS, SASS, and HTML, or front-end frameworks like Bootstrap
  • Ability to code feature requests from spec docs, wireframes, and whiteboard sessions
  • Experience working with native mobile applications
  • Previous exposure to Agile development practices
  • Active contributor to open-source projects
  • Working knowledge of applied statistics

Benefits

Based in Chicago's River North neighborhood, Earlybird is pleased to offer clean and comfortable workspace in a converted loft office just blocks from the Merchandise Mart, Brown Line CTA stops, and many great restaurants. Primary compensatory benefits offered for this position are:
  • Competitive salary, commensurate with experience
  • Casual dress and flexible schedule with remote work opportunities
  • Reimbursement allowance for ongoing education materials
  • Four weeks of paid vacation annually
  • Generous health insurance stipend
  • Balanced, family-positive work culture

Our Values

These values inform how we serve our clients and how we treat each other. We developed them as a team and hope they demonstrate the sort of workplace we want to grow and maintain.
  1. We treat everyone with dignity and respect, internally and externally 
  2. We are committed to continuous improvement and lifelong learning
  3. We strive to always deliver to the best of our abilities, build responsibly, and leave everyone in a better place
  4. We empower frequent and honest communication with no hidden agendas
  5. We prioritize personal fulfillment and happiness through a workplace that is holistic, family-centered, and emotionally intelligent
