Software Engineer
We use agile software development techniques to focus our coding efforts on solving our business goals. We use Rails, Javascript, RSpec, Cucumber, and we run everything on the Amazon AWS platform. We often pair program, and we follow a test-driven development process. We deliver early and often. We believe that these practices lead to higher code quality.
We have a culture that makes time for innovation: every Friday is “Free Point Friday” where our development team works on what they think is most important – no questions asked. Check out Cohortly and Oneth1ng for just a couple examples of things we’ve built on Free Point Friday.
