  • Working closely with designers, product managers, and other engineers
  • Giving back to Chicago tech community through conference attendance, meetup presentations, and mentorship

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

  • 5+ years experience writing production code for web applications
  • Expertise either in frontend or backend, both a plus
  • Frontend expertise in ReactJS and either ES6+Flow or TypeScript
  • Experience increasing page load performance in browsers and optimizing for mobile
  • Backend expertise in JVM based programming languages like Java/Groovy/Kotlin and experience with SpringBoot
  • An understanding of database concepts and experience writing SQL in a relational database such as MySQL or PostgreSQL
  • Experience optimizing larger applications to increase speed, scalability, and extensibility
  • Comfort with key programming concepts like memory management, optimization techniques, API design, relational mapping frameworks, and distributed applications
  • Self-starter who can move projects forward by filling in the gaps on Agile teams, from leading a design session to doing some test automation, to mentoring a teammate struggling with a new technology
  • Nice to haves: Experience working in AWS, Docker, Terraform

We want you to bring your whole human self to work every day. We accept you for who you are and consider everybody on an equal opportunity basis without regard to race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.
