Ope! We’re Hiring A Senior Software Engineer AND YOU’RE INVITED!

We interview based on how we work. Here is a post describing what someone can expect when they apply with Flagrant.

There is a juicy sweet-spot between soulless corporate coding and writing software for hipster apps. Flagrant is a lifestyle career – you’ll do work that matters without sacrificing your personal time. Bonus: A real human responds to every application no matter what.

If you’re looking for substance and laughter, if you thrive on a long leash, if you are hungry for a team that doesn’t suck, STOP TWEAKING YOUR CONFIGS AND APPLY ALREADY.

About Flagrant: On paper, we’re a software and design company. In practice, we’re a bunch of softies with big hearts and the best hype music who want to solve serious business problems in the most delightful way. We believe that syntax and patterns can be easily taught while the skills of working together, communicating with a team, and being genuinely interested in the success of your team can take quite a bit more time.

The ideal Senior Software Engineer can clearly define software requirements, take the lead on operational and technical projects, collaborate with clients and team members, and work independently (with management support)! Preferring the company of humans to robots is a plus: software is a team sport.

• Work effectively within a variety of software development lifecycles
• Automate routine tasks using appropriate tools and scripting
• Document your thought process and important decisions

Skills

• Experience as a software developer shipping working code to customers
• Experience working as a member of a team developing software
• Experience mentoring more junior developers
• Ability to work independently when required

• Knowledge of one or more languages and/or frameworks often used for web programming (e.g. Ruby, Rails)
• Working knowledge of relational databases and SQL, or equivalent related technologies (NoSQL, GraphQL, SparQL)
• Experience with automated software testing patterns and popular frameworks (e.g. unit and functional testing, RSpec)
• Experience in some significant aspects of operating software, like deployment, application configuration, monitoring, and/or alerting
