We're one of the oldest PaaS's out there, with support for PHP/Ruby/Java/node.js and both AWS and Azure. Earlier this year we launched a brand new user experience from the ground-up -- a new website and a completely new client-side interface. As a Frontend Engineer, you'd be working primarily on the latter.
The UI is written using angular.js served up by a lightweight node.js api proxy server. We use jasmin/protractor/selenium for our tests and only accept green builds via travis to be merged to master. Through our "eybot" on slackhq, we deploy stable code to production multiple times a day.
The UX engineering team at Engine Yard consists of 3 UI designers and 4 engineers (including myself). We're spread out across 8 timezones (Dublin through San Francisco), so experience working in a distributed team is key.
You'll get:
* Competitive salary
* Full medical, dental and vision benefits
* 25 paid days off per year
* 401(k)
* We take care of your phone bill
* Paid travel to conferences
Must haves:
* A passion for writing great software to solve real problems for real people
* Demonstrated experience building complex client-side applications in
JavaScript, preferably with angular.js
* Experience working in a distributed team
* The strong belief that a feature isn't finished until it's tested and, where
appropriate, documented
* A fantastic sense of sarcasm
* Ability to travel occasionally (at least once or twice a year)
* Somewhere between UTC and UTC-8
Great to have:
* Thorough understanding of git
* Experience building REST apis
* Experience with multiple languages (and an understanding of their tradeoffs)
* Experience with agile development
* Previously worked at a startup
